A Micro Lipid Extractor

A Turbulent Drier-extractor and a Wide-interface Extractor. a Method for Determining Total Lipid in Serum, Feces, and Urine.

A simpler modification of an original turbulent drier-extractor with provision for measuring moisture is presented, as well as methods for determination of lipids in serum and in urine in the wide-interface extractor, and a new use for the wide-interface extractor in washing extracts from the drier-extractor. The two extraction units described may also serve as a reference standard and may be p...

A micro-power neural spike detector and feature extractor in .13μm CMOS

We present a fully-integrated system for the detection and characterization of action potentials observed in extracellular neural recordings. The circuit includes an analog implementation of the nonlinear energy operator for spike detection. The minimum and maximum value of detected spikes are captured by peak detectors and digitized by an on-chip successive approximation ADC to provide a compa...

Hypodensity extractor: A phantom study

We report on the extraction procedures of low-contrast symptomatic hypodensity optimized for a computed tomography-based diagnosis. The specific application is brain imaging with enhanced perception of hypodense areas which are direct symptoms of acute ischemia. A standard low-contrast phantom, as commonly employed in dosimetry and imaging quality evaluation, was used to derive numeric criteria...

Completeness of a Fact Extractor

Separation and Identification of Raft Associated Membrane Species Using a Patterned Supported lipid Bilayer extractor

New methods toward manipulation and study of membrane species within a lipid bilayer platform are desired because lipid bilayers are able to maintain native conformation and function of intrinsic membrane species. This report demonstrates design and use of a bilayer patterned device for separation, sorting, and categorization of membrane biomolecules based on their affinity for different co-exi...
