Abstract: The residual ductility of currently available press hardened steel is approximately six percent. This characteristic of the material is primarily due to the fully martensitic microstructure in the hot stamped condition. The present alloys and processing improve the residual ductility of steels for use in press hardening applications. A series of specialized heat treatments were applied to a variety of new alloys to obtain higher residual ductility and a significant volume fraction of retained austenite in the as-hot stamped microstructure.

Abstract: The proposed photonic chip and method for the label free detection of biomolecules is based on a photonic integrated circuit with optical inputs and outputs on the same chip side enabling light coupling in and out through a bifurcated fiber. This is achieved by a U turn on the main waveguides so that the same chip edge is receiving and simultaneously emitting. The chip features Mach- Zehnder interferometers or resonators based on planar waveguides. Spectral and resonance shifts occur when the spotted sensing windows are exposed to the analyte solutions. On theses windows the recognition molecules have been previously immobilized. In the case of Broad-Band Mach- Zehnder interferometers the input fiber supplies broad-band light to the input waveguides, this light goes through the interferometer is getting modulated and is fed back through the output waveguides to the output fiber. This fiber is directed to a spectrometer which monitors the spectral shifts induced by the binding reactions on the sensing window of the interferometer. The Mach- Zehnder configuration greatly enhances the spectral shifts and makes possible the use of commercial spectrometers as detectors. The observable in the interferometer case is the phase of the peak of the Fourier transform of the nearly sinusoidal spectrometer signal. In photonic chips with multiple interferometers each interferometer is engineered so that it has its own distinct peak in the Fourier domain and all peaks are independently tracked by monitoring their phases. In the case of resonators, the input waveguides receive light from a tunable laser source through the input fiber, the light interacts with the resonators and is fed to the output fiber through the output waveguides. The output fiber connects to a photodetector. The same main or bus waveguide can have one or more resonators. The laser bias is swept and the sudden changes in the detector signal are monitored. This way the resonance wavelength shifts are related to binding induced effective index changes. In the case of multiple resonators, the bias sweep is wide enough to include all resonators.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a data transmission method on an unlicensed spectrum, and a device. The method includes: performing, by a transmit end, an LBT operation on an unlicensed spectrum; and if determining at a first moment that the unlicensed spectrum is idle and available, sending data to a receive end at a second moment by using the unlicensed spectrum, where the second moment is greater than or equal to the first moment and is less than or equal to a third moment, the third moment is a start moment of a reference subframe after the first moment, a length of the reference subframe is the same as a length of one of at least two types of pre-configured subframes, and adjacent reference subframes are consecutive in terms of time. Therefore, when a plurality of subframes with different lengths are configured, data sending and receiving on the unlicensed spectrum is implemented. The second moment is greater than or equal to the first moment and is less than or equal to the third moment, and the third moment is the start moment of the reference subframe after the first moment, thereby shortening a waiting time from LBT to a start moment of data transmission, and improving channel utilization.

Abstract: Forced expression of a handful of transcription factors (TFs) can induce conversions between cell identities; however, the extent to which TFs can alter cell identity has not been systematically assessed. Here, we assembled a human TFome, a comprehensive expression library of 1,578 human TF clones with full coverage of the major TF families. By systematically screening the human TFome, we identified 77 individual TFs that induce loss of human-induced-pluripotent- stem-cell (hiPSC) identity, suggesting a pervasive ability for TFs to alter cell identity. Using large-scale computational cell type classification trained on thousands of tissue expression profiles, we identified cell types generated by these TFs with high efficiency and speed, without additional selections or mechanical perturbations. TF expression in adult human tissues only correlated with some of the cell lineage generated, suggesting more complexity than observation studies can explain.

The evaporation cover is provided on the water storage container (1). The evaporation cover (2) is an air-permeable structure, and is upwardly connected to the funnel (3). The indication rod (4) is provided in the neck of the funnel (3). A bottom end of the indication rod (4) is connected to the float (5). The float (5) drives the indication rod (4) to indicate a water level in the water storage container (1). The method for use comprises: burying the water storage container (1) and the evaporation cover (2) in soil near a plant root; injecting water into the water storage container (1) via the funnel (3); and allowing the water in the water storage container (1) to naturally evaporate via the evaporation cover (2) to water the soil and to keep water in the soil to maintain the survival of the plant. The benefits thereof include low application costs and suitability for use in droughts and water-resource-deficient areas. Use of the device for improving plant survival ensures the survival of a plant subjected to a continuous drought, prevents domestic plants from dying when their owners leave for a long time, and enables planting in drought-ridden, desertified and desert areas, thereby transforming a desert area into an oasis and improving the environment.
