摘要:
An improved area earthquake warning system based on distributed decision making method, which makes such a system affordable in the region where wired and wireless mobile communication infrastructures are too expensive to build. The present invention can provide seconds, even tens of seconds for users to seek shelter to reduce injuries and lives lost. An exemplary embodiment of the invention described herein comprises a network of earthquake detection sites covering a geographic region with four types of earthquake detection sites. Instead of sending all raw ground motion signals to a remote central processing site, these detection sites send processed earthquake parameters to a nearby alarm site to decide if an earthquake alarm broadcasting should be triggered. This method shortens the response time, decreases the false alarm rate, and provides unlimited scalability. Further more, this invention provides self-check mechanism to eliminate system malfunction time.
摘要:
In various aspects and embodiments, the present invention is directed to versatile, label-free method for the quantitative and qualitative detection of biomarkers and/or other compounds in a fluid sample using functionalized microparticle aggregates. In these methods, micron-scale particles are functionalized to specifically interact with the biomarker being measured and added to the sample to form aggregates, the size and number of which are counted to find a volume fraction and/or number fraction of aggregates in the sample. There is a direct correlation between the volume fraction and number fraction of these aggregates and the concentration of the corresponding biomarker. By comparing the measured volume fraction and/or number fraction of aggregates in the sample to a calibration curve, the concentration of that biomarker may be determined even for biomarkers or other target compounds in samples at very low concentrations, without the need for fluorescence and enzyme labelling of antibodies.
摘要:
An Eptifibatide preparation method with product purity of more than 99.5%, the method comprising: using a solid phase polypeptide synthesis method to prepare eptifibatide resin, conducting acidolysis on the Eptifibatide resin to obtain a crude Eptifibatide linear peptide product, oxidizing to obtain a crude Eptifibatide product, purifying and exchanging salt to obtain an Eptifibatide finished product; the method using the solid phase polypeptide synthesis method to prepare the eptifibatide resin is: using a solid phase coupling synthesis method to sequentially splice a corresponding protective amino acid or a segment in the following sequence onto amino resin, and obtaining the Eptifibatide resin: X—Y-Trp(R1)-Pro-Cys(R2)-amino resin, wherein R1 is Boc or H, R2 is Trt or Acm, X is Mpr(R2)-Harg(R3), R3 is Pbf or H, and Y is Gly-Asp(OtBu).
摘要:
The present invention provides a process for making regular shaped particles of solid foam. A first mixture, comprising water, an acid, a surfactant and a hydrophobic material, is combined with a hydrolysable silicon species to form a second mixture. The second mixture is maintained under conditions and for a sufficient time to form regular shaped precursor particles. The second mixture is then aged at a temperature and for a time effective to produce the regular shaped particles of solid foam.
