A Gamma-ray Photon Counting Detector Based on Side-readout of Monolithic Scintillator Layers
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed a gamma-ray photon counting device that works similarly to PET, but with a novel architecture that improves the accuracy and speed in determining the location of the biological targets, and is less costly to manufacture. Background: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a common and reliable...

Real-Time PCR Assay for Specific Detection of Haemophilus influenzae Serotypes A and B
Haemophilus influenzae is responsible for life-threatening respiratory infections including meningitis. This assay allows for the qualitative detection of the bacterial meningitis pathogen H. influenzae serotype A (Hia) and serotype B (Hib) in fluid samples, without detecting any of the other serotypes of H. influenzae. This invention is capable of...

Intelligent Multi-Beam Medium Access Control in Ku-Band for Mission-Oriented Mobile Mesh Networks
­ The Problem: There are existing similar technologies, but these technologies are not designed for mobile mission-oriented applications. The use of Ku-band frequency on two separate information transmission levels reduces interference common with current multi-beam antennas. Also, the Ku-band frequency is not the currently used frequency range...

PMU-Embedded Analytics for Online Event Detection and Classification in Power Grids
The energy requirement of the world is increasing exponentially every year. With the power demand sites concentrated in the region with the highest population density, energy production sites must be located remotely. This isolation requires lengthy and complicated grids to be designed and manufactured to transmit power over long distances. Grid failures...
