Filed:

May 26, 2021

Appl. No.:

17/331192

Inventors:

- Sunnyvale CA, US
Frank P. Becking - La Canada-Flintridge CA, US
Carlos Castro - San Jose CA, US
Roger William Sharpe - Mountain View CA, US
Damon Covell Campbell - Pacific Grove CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 17/68
A61B 17/84

Abstract:

Bone and joint stabilization devices or systems are described that include multiple-layer bodies. The approach offers dramatically improved fatigue life as compared to one-piece spring members that are otherwise similar or comparable. Coordinated improved-strength anchor embodiments, anchor loading tools and methods of use are also described.

International Classification:

G01N 33/543
G01N 33/50

Abstract:

A method for detecting an analyte in a plant is provided. The method includes injecting an analyte-capture agent into a leaf of a plant, and in the leaf, optically detecting complexes formed by capturing an analyte with the injected analyte-capture agent. The analyte-capture agent can include an analyte-interacting component connected to a microcarrier. In particular versions, the analyte-capture agent can be an analyte specific antibody or aptamer, and the microcarrier can be a polydiacetylene liposome. Binding of the analyte can cause a change in color of the liposome, thus indicating the presence of the analyte.
