Abstract:

The present invention is directed to methods for (a) encrypting information in the form of words, numbers, or graphical images, by obtaining a set of nucleic acid strands or nucleic acid analog strands having subunit sequences selected to represent the information, (b) transmitting the information by sending the nucleic acids or nucleic acid analogs to a recipient who possesses a key for decryption, and (c) using the key to decrypt the information and recover the words, numbers, or represented by the nucleic acids or nucleic acid analogs.

International Classification:

C12M 100

US Classification:

Abstract:

The rate of nucleic acid strand exchange can be greatly enhanced if one of the strands of a double-stranded nucleic acid oligomer has a single-stranded extension, or âtoehold,â to which a complementary, single-stranded, nucleic acid oligomer can bind. Toehold-facilitated strand exchange makes possible the controlled addition and removal of one nucleic acid strand from a second, complementary strand. Oligomers are designed and used to carry out controlled, repetitive nucleic acid structural transitions mediated by hybridization and toehold-facilitated strand exchange reactions, which in turn control the operation of a nanomachine or a 2-state molecular switch.

US Classification:

703 3, 702 19, 703 11, 703 21, 708 1, 708100, 710 1, 435 6

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to an analog, oligomer-based method for determining a mathematical result of carrying out an operation of matrix algebra on input data. The method comprises representing at least one m-component vector V= V e by a set of single-stranded oligomers E and which are in 1:1 correspondence with the basis vectors e , i=1, 2,. . . , m in an abstract m-dimensional vector space. A composition comprising at least one set of oligomers E and representing the components of a vector is obtained as input date and is subjected to at least one physical or chemical treatment having an effect on the oligomers that is an analog representation of an operation of matrix algebra. The method can be used to represent the operations of a neural network; for example, to produce a content-addressable memory, or a multilayer perceptron.

International Classification:

G01J 4/00
G01B 9/02

US Classification:

356364, 356491

Abstract:

A passive optical system substantially simultaneously separates light received at an optical input into three or more output light beams on optical outputs. The output light beams may have intensities that are proportional to intensities of optical projections of the received light onto three or more basis vectors of a tetrahedral basis set of a Stokes space. The system includes either multiple partial polarization splitters or multiple optical interferometers.

Abstract:

Carbon particles, such as, carbon fibrils and carbon nanotube molecules, may be assembled into substantially pure aligned fibers by a) dispersing the carbon particles within a curable liquid, b) aligning the carbon particles by flowing the mixture of curable liquid and carbon particles down a tapering tube, and c) curing the flowing mixture of curable liquid and carbon particles in the general vicinity of the end of the tapering tube to form a fiber. The curable liquid may be cured using ultraviolet light. The solidified mixture may be further processed by d) heating the fiber so as to cause the volatile elements of the solidified curable liquid portion to substantially dissipate from the fiber, e) twisting the fiber to increase its density, f) heating the fiber to sinter the carbon particles within the fiber, and g) cladding the fiber. The resulting fiber may then be spooled onto a take-up drum.

International Classification:

G01R 33/02

US Classification:

324244, 331 65

Abstract:

In one embodiment, an integrated magnetometer has a deformable, electrically conducting beam that is mounted on a substrate and adapted to oscillate with respect to the substrate. When the oscillating beam is exposed to a magnetic field, the magnetic field induces an oscillating electromotive force that generates an oscillating electrical signal along the beam. The magnetometer has a detection circuit that detects this oscillating electrical signal and, based on the results of this detection, determines the magnetic-field strength and/or the magnetic-field gradient.
