Self Assembled Peptide Hydrogel
The Technology A breakthrough Self Assembled Peptide Hydrogel (SAPH) has been developed. SAPH is a safe, self-assembled, biocompatible, remarkably strong hydrogel with modulated stability that is suitable for various medicinal and cosmetic applications. SAPH is based on the highly efficient self-assembly of the short aromatic peptides diphenylalanine. The discovery and development of SAPH is the […] Read More >
System to Map Neuropathy in Extremities of Diabetic Patients
The Invention The invention is a new and objective device for detecting diabetic neuropathy in the feet which are by far the most common points for loss of nerve activity in diabetic patients. It consists of an array of computer-controlled stimulators in a floor mat with an interactive patient feedback system for determining quantitative, objective […] Read More >
CT Image Single Display and Contrast Enhancement
The Invention An improved algorithm for handling CT scan information which enables the display of all relevant anatomical features in a single image. Potential Applications CT scans are a basic tool of most medical centers and are in constant use. An improved algorithm for simultaneous viewing of all relevant anatomical features would not only save […] Read More >
An MRI technique for imaging of pathologies of collagen, myelin and amyloid plaques
The TechnologyCharacterization of pathologies related to macromolecules (MM) can now be carried out in a more comprehensive manner using these new MRI sequences. For example: Collagen in connective tissue and myelin in the nerves of brain and spinal cord are imaged with intensity proportional to the amount of MM. These pulsing sequences emphasize white matter […] Read More >
Surface Plasmon Amplification of stimulated emission
We make a step towards quantum nanoplasmonics: surface plasmon fields of a nanosystem are quantized and their stimulated emission is considered. We introduce a quantum generator for surface plasmon quanta and consider the phenomenon of surface plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (spaser). Spaser generates temporally coherent high-intensity fields of selected surface plasmon modes […] Read More >
Quantitative confluency measurement of culture growth
The invention is an image processing method of light microscopy images for the purpose of quantifying density of cells in cultures . A grayscale image of a cell culture is digitally captured using a light microscope and a CCD camera. Our method evaluates the culture’s confluency using an image processing algorithm on the image which […] Read More >
METHODS AND KITS FOR DETERMINING PREDISPOSITION TO DEVELOP KIDNEY DISEASES
Many rare kidney disorders exhibit a monogenic, Mendelian pattern of inheritance. Population-based genetic studies have identified many genetic variants associated with an increased risk of developing common kidney diseases. Strongly associated variants have potential clinical uses as predictive markers and may advance our understanding of disease pathogenesis. These principles are elegantly illustrated by a region […] Read More >
autonomous pressure relieving aids for wheelchair patients
Technology Anti-pressure-ulcer non-powered wheelchair cushion with means for sensory compensation to stimulate frequent postural changes in patients with paraplegia. The patient-activated wheelchair cushion shifts the sensory mechano-stimulations that provoke movement to an anatomical site which is sensitive to such stimulations (above the spinal cord injury (SCI) level). Background and Description In situations with lack of […] Read More >
Companding Roentgen Images and MRI
Robust Adaptive Features Tracking (RAFT) –with application for cardiac MRI (CMRI) stabilizationA generic and innovative approach for highly-sensitive deformable feature tracking, which can be used for medical-image stabilization (e.g. CMRI, PCI).Optimization of medical-images such as Cardiac-MRI (CMRI, TC-short-axis slice) and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is regarded as a difficult problem, due to diaphragm and cardiac […] Read More >
An Add-On Optical Interferometer Chamber to Phase Microscopes for Sub-Nanometer 3D and Dynamic Information
TechnologyAn add-on optical module for microscopes allowing for single frame and dynamic capture of amplitude and phase profiles of transparent or semi-transparent biological and non-biological samples. This easyto-use interferometric device is simply positioned in the camera port of a conventional inverted microscope, enabling quantitative structural, thickness and refractive index measurements in a noncontact, label-free manner.
