Abstract:
Materials and Methods related to diagnosing depression disorders, or determining a subject's predisposition to develop a depression disorder, using a multi-parameter hypermapping system and algorithms related thereto.
Abstract:
Fiber optical devices formed on substrates fabricated with grooves that operate based on evanescent optical coupling through a side-polished fiber surface in each fiber involved. A coupling control layer is formed between two fibers to control the evanescent coupling for optical switching operations.
Abstract:
Optical Mach-Zehnder interferometers and related devices, systems that have at least one fiber integrated or engaged to a substrate fabricated with one or more grooves. An integrated optical monitoring mechanism may be implemented in such devices.
Abstract:
Fiber optical devices formed on substrates fabricated with grooves that operate based on evanescent optical coupling through a side-polished fiber surface in each fiber involved. The fiber cladding under the side-polished fiber surface is designed to support a radial mode profile wider than a radial mode profile supported by adjacent fiber portions.
Abstract:
Optical detection of molecules using a biochip having at least one reagent immobilizing area designed to receive one or more reagents and at least one calibration structure with a predetermined height to provide a height reference for optical measurement is disclosed. When the calibration structure is illuminated by a probe beam of light, a first reflected beam of light is reflected off the calibration structure, and a second reflected beam of light is reflected off the reagent immobilizing area. The first reflected beam and the second reflected beam are compared to determine a height at the reagent immobilizing area.
Abstract:
Materials and Methods related to developing a unipolar depression (MDD) disease score in a subject using a multi-parameter system to measure a plurality of parameters, and an algorithm to calculate a score.

Abstract:
Methods for identifying and measuring pharmacodynamic biomarkers of neuropsychiatric disease, and for monitoring a subject's response to treatment. For example, materials and methods for monitoring the effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation in a subject having a neuropsychiatric disease are provided.
