DNA-based methods have gained acceptance in forensics and paternity testing, yet they are still relatively expensive, require specialized equipment with highly skilled technicians and lengthy analysis times. Antibody profiling has many advantages over conventional DNA-based methods including increased speed, ease of use and decreased costs. This method is based on the discovery that every individual has a unique set of antibodies present in their bodily fluids and can be identified when those antibodies form immune complexes to proteins on a test chip. Currently antibody profiling methods use a complex and ill-defined mixture of proteins for identification and suffer from inconsistent results. This patent identifies a unique set of proteins that is capable of discriminating every person in the world’s population. Since each protein for the antibody profile is known, results are consistent and accurate making this test suitable for identification applications. Patent No. 9,410,965 Docket No.: BA-528 - Grant Date: 2016-08-09 Inventors: William A Apel, Vicki S Thompson, Jeffrey A Lacey, Cynthia D Gentillon Nuclear Fuel Alloys of Mixtures and Method of Making Thereof Alloys of various metals are being investigated as ways to increase the melting point of fuel, increase burn-up of fuel, and gain other beneficial chemical, thermal and mechanical properties over pure uranium or actinide fuels such as plutonium. These alloys would have applications for burning transuranic elements to reduce their environmental impact in used nuclear fuel. This patent describes methods for creating nuclear fuel alloys that combine more than two different metals to increase the melting point and resist the tendency of some alloys to allow the component metals to migrate at higher temperatures and the resulting reduction of the alloy’s accident tolerance. Fuel alloy mixtures include uranium with molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, titanium, and zirconium.
