    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to a fluidized bed detector for continuous detection of biological and chemical materials comprising a fluidized bed of detecting elements suspended in a continuous flow system wherein the detecting elements remain in the system when a first force trying to move the detecting elements to the bottom of the system is balanced with a second opposing force of a flowing gas or liquid trying to move detecting elements to the top of the system and wherein the presence of a target molecule in the flowing gas or liquid disrupts the balance of the first and second forces causing the detecting element to exit the system. The release of the detecting element indicates the presence of the target molecule and may be captured, concentrated, or both for further evaluation by other assays or other means. Also disclosed is the related method of detecting biological and chemical materials using a fluidized bed detector.

    Abstract: A substance having binding sites for at least two molecules may be detected within a sample. A molecule which can be recognized by the substance is labelled such that when at least two of the labelled molecules are bound the binding sites on the substance, the labels on the molecules electronically interact with each other and vary the wavelength dependance of their spectra. This variation in the spectra of the label can be detected. If the sample is suspected of containing the unlabelled form of a molecule, such as biotin or cocaine, a known amount of the above substance, along with a known amount of the corresponding labelled biotin or cocaine is added to the sample. In this instance, the amount of the suspect molecule in the sample is then determined by the extent to which the variation in the spectra of the label has been reduced. Alternatively, the present invention can be used to determine the binding characteristics of the substance within the sample. The method of the present invention is useful in immunoassays or other bioassays as well as in studies of surface interactions.

    Abstract: A method for producing excess enthalpy by impregnating metallic precursors on an oxide support that reduces sintering and particle growth; drying the impregnated support at a temperature where the particle growth is minimal; reducing the metallic precursors at a second temperature where the particle growth results in supported metallic particles 2 nm or less in size; and pressurizing the supported metallic particles in the presence of deuterium. The metal particles may comprise palladium, platinum, mixtures thereof, or mixtures of palladium and/or platinum with other elements. Also disclosed is a method for measuring excess enthalpy by placing a test material in a pressure vessel; heating the pressure vessel; evacuating the pressure vessel; introducing deuterium, hydrogen, or both into the pressure vessel; measuring the enthalpy generated during pressurization; again evacuating the pressure vessel; and measuring the enthalpy used during depressurization.

    Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for detecting a target species. The target molecule may be in liquid phase (in solution) or (for some embodiments of the invention) in vapor phase. A sensor according to the present invention monitors whether a target species has selectively bound to groups on the cantilever surface by monitoring the displacement of the cantilever, and hence the force acting on the cantilever. This force acting on the cantilever arises from the force acting on a structure that moves in electric or magnetic field, and that may be selectively bound to the cantilever. In the case of target species having a sufficiently large net electric charge or dipole moment, the target species itself may serve as the structure that moves in an electric field. More typically however, separate modified structures, such as modified magnetic beads or modified beads having a net charge or a dipole moment, will, when selectively bound to the cantilever, exert a force on the cantilever that relates to the presence of the target species.
