    Abstract: This disclosure describes, in one aspect, a method for preparing DNA molecule for sequencing. Generally, the method includes fragmenting the DNA molecule into double-stranded fragments; amplifying at least a portion of the double-stranded fragments; circularizing the fragments so that the first end of the fragment comprises a first loop connecting the strands and the second end of the fragment comprises a second loop connecting the strands; annealing a first sequencing primer to the first loop oriented to sequence at least a portion of one strand of the fragment; and annealing a second sequencing primer to the second loop oriented to sequence at least a portion of the other strand of the fragment.

    Abstract: An atomic layer deposition method is disclosed for preparing polypeptides. The method comprises providing a solid-phase support comprising a reactive amine monolayer in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) chamber. The solid-phase support is contacted with a first protected amino acid substituted with a protecting group by atomic layer deposition, wherein the protecting group is bonded to a non-side chain amino group of the protected amino acid. A carboxylic acid group of the first protected amino acid is reacted with the reactive amine monolayer, thereby coupling the first protected amino acid to the solid-phase support to produce a coupled-product.

    Abstract: A mechanical patient-controlled analgesia device for injecting medicine into a patient's IV, includes an IV reservoir and a syringe communicated to the IV reservoir and having a syringe plunger. A mechanical biasing element is provided for exerting bias on the syringe plunger in a first syringe-filling direction to draw medicine from the IV reservoir into the syringe. An injection plunger is operable by the patient to move the syringe plunger in a second injection direction against the bias to inject the medicine in the syringe into a patient's IV. The injection plunger is movable independently of the syringe plunger and is engaged with but unconnected to the syringe plunger when the patient moves the injection plunger to inject the medicine. The patient can inject only a calibrated amount of medicine drawn into the syringe as determined by calibration of the biasing element and a metering element for a given viscosity of the medication.

    Abstract: Photon-based radiosurgery is widely used for treating local and regional tumors. The key to improving the quality of radiosurgery is to increase the dose falloff rate from high dose regions inside the tumor to low dose regions of nearby healthy tissues and structures. Dynamic photon painting (DPP) further increases dose falloff rate by treating a target by moving a beam source along a dynamic trajectory, where the speed, direction and even dose rate of the beam source change constantly during irradiation. DPP creates dose gradient that rivals proton Bragg Peak and outperforms Gamma Knife® radiosurgery.
