Large Scale Detection and Quantification of Post Translational Protein Modifications
The Problem: The amount of biological material and reagents available for PTM analysis is usually very limited. This is even more pronounced for membrane proteins. In contrast, the amount required for analysis PTM is significant. This discrepancy makes PTM analysis very difficult. The Solution: The minute amounts of biological material and reagents required for analysis…

The Problem: The appropriate functioning of living cells depends on a variety of dynamic processes that necessitate delicate motion, transportation, association, and disassociation in time and space. For proteins, it is important to know: Is there a mobile fraction and a fixed (bound) fraction? What is the ratio between these two sub-populations? What is the…

The Problem: Nanoparticles can be manufactured with tunable size, shape and surface as well as biological activity. Their role as nanocarriers is well established. While many nanoparticles are stable as an aqueous colloid, ferro fluid, they maintain an insufficient active surface and are limited in their capacity for further modification or surface engineering. The Solution:…

The Problem: Optical fibers serve as an excellent sensing platform. In distributed analysis protocols, a parameter of interest is mapped along a fiber under test, and each fiber segment serves as an independent sensing node. Both temperature and mechanical strain can be mapped based on the physical principle of stimulated Brillouin scattering, or SBS. In…

The Problem: Optical fibers serve as an excellent sensing platform. However, the sensing of chemicals using standard fibers faces an inherent challenge. Light is confined to the inner core, whereas the test media of interest are outside the boundary of the fiber cladding, and even its coating. Standard optical measurement principles, such as absorption, refraction,…

The Problem: Joint transmission (JT), in which adjacent transmitters, coordinate their transmission jointly to form a cluster, which serves several mobile terminals, is an important tool for enhancing spectrum utilization. Not surprisingly, there is a constant growing demand for high data rate. Both the demand and the rapid increase in the number of cellular consumers…
Read MoreReduced Overhead Feedback Scheme For Interference Mitigation In Cellular Networks
The Problem: The continuing increase in data transportation presents a major technological challenge to the wireless communications industry due to the shortage in the electromagnetic spectrum; a precious natural resource which is very limited. The scarcity of available spectrum has pushed cellular networks to universal frequency reuse (every cell utilizes all of the frequencies), that…
Read MoreSilicon Photonics STED Plasma Dispersion Effect Super-Resolved Imaging in Silicon
The Problem: The silicon industry is currently heading toward 10 nm technology in integrated circuits. Promoting this market trend is largely dependent on the development of super-resolutionin silicon microscopy. The Solution: We propose a novel method that provides the ability to probe the silicon under surface in super-resolution. More specifically, we developed a new concept…
Read MoreNovel Transistor Gain Cell With Feedback
The Problem: Embedded memories, typically implemented with a 6T SRAM bitcell consume an ever growing share of the total silicon area and power. Gain cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) isan alternative to 6T SRAM, offering higher density, lower leakage, and 2-port operation. However, gain cells: Rely on dynamic storage, Results in very low data retention times…
