Abstract:
A method of identifying nucleic acid samples comprising: providing a mircoarray including a substrate coated with a composition including a population of micro-spheres dispersed in a fluid containing a gelling agent or a precursor to a gelling agent and immobilized at random positions on the substrate, at least one sub-population of said population micro-spheres containing an optical barcode generated from at least one colorant associated with the micro-spheres and including a nucleic acid probe sequence; contacting said array with a target nucleic acid sequence; and detecting the color barcode of said sub-population of micro-spheres due to the interaction of said probe nucleic acid sequence and said target nucleic acid sequence.
Abstract:
A display sheet is disclosed comprising, a substrate, first transparent conductors, second conductors and, between first and second conductors, at least one imaging layer comprising a substantial monolayer of isolated domains of liquid-crystal material, dispersed in a continuous matrix, wherein said domains of liquid-crystal material comprises a mixture of at least two populations, a first population comprising a first liquid-crystal material having a first λmax within the infrared spectral region and a second population comprising a second liquid-crystal material having a second λmax within the visible spectral region. Alternately, the imaging layer can comprise a substantial monolayer of isolated domains of liquid-crystal material comprising a population of domains comprising a liquid-crystal material having a λmax between 700 and 800 and having a half-peak width that extends into both the visible spectrum region and the infrared spectral region.
Abstract:
A method of identifying nucleic acid samples comprising: providing a mircoarray including a substrate coated with a composition including a population of nucleic acid probe modified micro-spheres immobilized in a coating containing a gelling agent or a precursor to a gelling agent, wherein a first portion of the micro-spheres is submerged in the gelatin coating and a second portion is exposed above the gelatin coating and is substantially free of gelatin, at least one sub-population of the population micro-spheres containing an optical barcode generated from at least one colorant associated with the micro-spheres and including a nucleic acid probe sequence; contacting the array with a target nucleic acid sequence; and detecting the color barcode of the sub-population of micro-spheres due to the interaction of the probe nucleic acid sequence and the fluorescently/chemiluminescently labeled nucleic acid sample target nucleic acid sequence.

Abstract:
A gelatin-based substrate for fabricating protein arrays, the substrate containing: gelatin and a trifunctional compound A—L—B; wherein A is a functional group capable of interacting with the gelatin; L is a linking group capable of interacting with A and with B; and B is a functional group capable of interacting with a protein capture agent. A may be the same or different from B.
Abstract:
Disclosed is light sensitive element comprising a support, at least one light sensitive silver halide emulsion layer, and a micro-bead layer comprising micro-beads a wherein the quantity of binder in the micro-bead layer is such that the micro-beads are not fully enclosed by the binder, thereby enabling the beads to function as microlenses. The invention also provides a camera combination and imaging method. Embodiments of the invention provide improved sensitivity and latitude in scene exposure range.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an imaging element comprising a single layer containing a random distribution of a colored bead population of one or more colors coated above one or more layers comprising light sensitive silver halide emulsion grains, wherein the population comprises beads of at least one color in which at least 25% (based on projected area) of the beads of that color have an ECD less than 2 times the ECD of the silver halide grains in said one emulsion layer or in the fastest emulsion layer in the case of more than one emulsion layer
Abstract:
Disclosed is process for forming a color filter array layer on a transparent surface, comprising the step of applying a water-borne solid-particle dispersion of randomly disposed colored beads of a water-immiscible synthetic polymer to the surface.
