Trapped particle classification in additive manufacturing
This technology is an improvement to a rapid design approach for designing nanophotonic devices. It is a method of optical positioning and linking (OPAL) using highly focused lasers (sometimes called “optical tweezers”) used for nanofabrication of molecules for devices, drugs, and other nano-metamaterials.
Combined with the previous optical...

Measuring Blood Brain Barrier Permeation of Peptides
This method enables quantifying the blood brain barrier (BBB) penetration of endogenous opioid peptides, such as enkaphalins, endorphins, dynorphins, nociceptin, and endomorphins. A measurement system uses a fluidic system and the use of preservative agents to prevent enzymatic degradation of peptides to be measured.
Background:
Neurological compounds...

Sweat Biomarkers as an Indication of Physiological Conditions
Inventors at the University of Arizona have devised a means by which cortisol isomer ratios in human sweat can be measured and used to evaluate the physiological or psychological state of the patient. Certain cortisol isomer ratios are associated with particular conditions or disorders (high blood pressure, sleep disruption, and others). Other ratios...
