Multi-domain Hardware Memory Compression
THE CHALLENGE In hyperscale data centers, the most expensive component in CPU-based servers, in terms of both monetary cost and carbon footprint, is currently computer memory; going forward, memory is expected to become even more expensive relative to other server components. Hardware memory compression, where the CPU’s memory controller transparently...

Demand-adaptive Memory Compression in Hardware
THE CHALLENGE The density scaling of computer memory has lagged behind central processing units (CPUs) and storage creating a cost bottleneck in data centers and cloud computing. To help logically scale up memory density, operating systems (OSes) today compress and pack more values into the same physical amount of memory. To minimize the impact on...

DNA Methylation Barriers
In normal differentiated cells, most of the genome is densely methylated, except CpG islands near promoters of actively transcribed genes. Maintaining this boundary between unmethylated promoter-associated and adjacent methylated regions is crucial as loss of segregation can lead to disease. Unfortunately, it is not clear where these boundaries are,...

Recovering Critical Elements from Acid Mine Drainage
THE CHALLENGE The demand for certain elements, such as Manganese (Mn), Cobalt (Co), and Nickel (Ni), has surged in recent years due to the rapid growth of battery production for electric vehicles and utility-scale energy storage. The United States government has deemed Co, Ni, and Mn critical elements, primarily because of the country’s high...

Novel Anti-HIV Compounds Using Peptides or Peptide Mimetics
Abstract: The subject invention describes a new class of compounds (such as peptides or mimetics) that target viral RNAs and inhibit the viral life cycle by blocking the viral recognition process. More specifically, these compounds are the first against an RNA Target - currently there are no clinical drugs against RNA targets in the treatment of any...

Method and Device for Selectively Labeling RNA
Abstract: Current methods of labeling and synthesizing RNA do not allow for multiple labels or long RNA segments to be synthesized for large RNA on a milligram scale. Investigators at the NCI Structure Biophysics Lab and UT Health Science Center have developed a method to selectively label RNA at specific residues and/or segments using a hybrid solid-liquid...

Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for the Rapid Detection of Rabies and Other Lyssaviruses
Rabies occurs in more than 150 countries and territories, resulting in at least 55,000 human deaths per year worldwide according to World Health Organization estimates. Rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral disease caused by numerous lyssaviruses that are found in a variety of animal species throughout the world. Rabies virus infects the central nervous...

Universal Diagnostic Assay for Detection and Identification of Poxviruses in Clinical Samples
CDC researchers have developed an assay for detection and diagnosis of poxviruses within clinical samples or from lab culture-systems. The assay specifically targets chordopoxviruses (except avipoxviruses) for PCR-based identification; an improvement upon the current standard of cell culturing methodologies. Individual chordopoxvirus species can cause...
