The long range objective of this proposal is to find mild, highly specific conditions for the targeted addition of polyethylene glycol to specific residues of recombinant proteins. Because proteins which have been modified by polyethylene glycol addition have increased serum persistence and decreased immunogenicity, this objective, if achieved, has the potential to decrease the frequency of paren ...

The investigators will test the feasibility of developing a prototype UV-B monitor/recording deviceworn by workers exposed to the sun, as further described by their abstract. This SBIR proposes an inUV-B exposure record keeping and sensor calibration that can be done at a low cost while improving aapproach is to develop a UV-B recorder in the form of a 3" x 5" 0.3" size mail-able card. The UV-B rh ...

We will develop a wireless link that will be suitable for sleep studies. Data from sensors and moniwill be telemetered from a compact unit held to the top of the patient's head with a chin strap. Thewireless link is in response to frequent complaints of sleep study patients that they are bothered brestrict movement and are uncomfortable. During Phase I the feasibility of the wireless approach wilb ...
