Patent • #US12091446B1. A large and highly diverse nanobody library was constructed and screened against multiple variants of SARS-COV-2 to find nanobodies with high sensitivity and specificity for the variants. Four rounds of positive selection against a panel of six diverse SARS-COV-2 variant RBDs was performed with our high-diversity. At least 59...

Patent • #US8687674B1. A surface acoustic wave (SAW) correlator spread-spectrum (SS) receiver is disclosed which utilizes a first demodulation stage with a chip length n and a second demodulation stage with a chip length m to decode a transmitted SS signal having a code length l=n×m which can be very long (e.g....

Patent • #US10651048B1. A fabrication process employing the use of ScAlN as an etch mask is disclosed. The ScAlN etch mask is chemically nonvolatile in fluorine-based etch chemistries and has a low sputter yield, resulting in greater etch mask selectivity and reduced surface roughness for silicon and other semiconductor materials. The ScAlN...

Patent • #US7995191B1. A scannerless 3-D imaging apparatus is disclosed which utilizes an amplitude modulated cw light source to illuminate a field of view containing a target of interest. Backscattered light from the target is passed through one or more loss modulators which are modulated at the same frequency as the light...
