The proprietary algorithm for this technology is based on the wavelet decomposition and synthesis of gradient measurements. less | Primary: University of Victoria

This has been optimized so that it is extremely sensitive and specific and can have a restrictive temperature at about that of the human body core; this allows that pathogen to survive in the slightly lower temperature that is common in the extremities thereby inducing an immune response, but because it is unable to survive at the slightly elevated temperature of the core it is unable to produce a full fledged attack on its host. less | Primary: University of Victoria

There is tremendous interest in using blue and ultraviolet light emitting diodes, as well as blue and white organic molecule light-emitting diode as light sources. Efficient blue electroluminescence emitters remain a formidable challenge because of the lack of appropriate synthetic routes to prepare larger band gap emission materials resulting in current technologies that have low efficiencies and poor stability. The technology presented here provides a number of approaches for the production of blue light emitting nanoparticles, nanomaterials, nanocomposites and electroluminescent devices. less | Primary: University of Victoria
