Polymers, monomers, chromophoric polymer dots and related methods are provided. Highly fluorescent chromophoric polymer dots with narrow-band emissions are provided. Methods for synthesizing the chromophoric polymers, preparation methods for forming the chromophoric polymer dots, and biological applications using the unique properties of narrow-band emissions are also provided.

A data storage system and method are provided for storing data in non-volatile memory devices. Binary data is received for storage in a non-volatile memory device. The binary data is converted into non-binary data comprising base-X values, where X is an integer greater than two. The non-binary data is encoded to generate a codeword and the codeword is written to a wordline of the non-volatile memory device.

An acid value of the polymer fine particles is 5 to 38 mg KOH/g. An emulsion in which the polymer fine particles are dispersed in a medium mainly containing water. In addition, a structure in which the polymer fine particles are arranged and develop color.

A laundry care composition comprises a laundry care ingredient or adjunct and at least one compound that is capable of changing from a first color state (i.e., the initial color state in the composition) to a second color state that is perceptibly different from the first color state. A method for treating textile articles comprises the steps of: (a) providing a laundry care composition as described above; (b) adding the laundry care composition to a liquid medium; and (c) placing the textile articles in the liquid medium.

Labeled nucleotide analogs comprising at least one avidin protein, at least one dye-labeled compound, and at least one nucleotide compound are provided. The analogs are useful in various fluorescence-based analytical methods, including the analysis of highly multiplexed optical reactions in large numbers at high densities, such as single molecule real time nucleic acid sequencing reactions.
