LASP-1: A New Urinary Marker for Bladder Cancer Detection

Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the urinary bladder is the most common genitourinary cancer. Diagnosis of TCC currently relies on cystoscopy and urine cytology. Both examination methods have limitations. The present technology describes a novel urinary marker for the detection of bladder cancer. With a sensitivity of 85 % and a specificity of 86.4 % the potential marker exceeds currently commercially available bladder cancer associated marker proteins.

Graphene-Contacts Transform SiC Transistors for Efficient Circuits

The invention describes SiC/Graphene Transistors for Normally-On/Normally-Off Operation and Integrated Circuits (Including Logic). This invention can be used, e.g. to
build a compact constant current source for LED-lightning,
include the control circuits and the LED on the same SiC-subtrate and/or provide control circuits for high power switches.
