8- and 16-channel all-fiber DFB laser WDM transmitters with integrated pump redundancy (1999)

All-fiber DFB-laser-based 8-channel 100-GHz and 16-channel 50-GHz wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) transmitter arrays with integrated pump redundancy are demonstrated for the first time. Each fiber laser WDM channel in the modules remain in operation despite the drop out of several of the pump diodes and the maximum power drop to each channel in an 8/spl times/8 channel 100-GHz system for the drop of seven out of eight pump diodes is just 14 dB.

Robust Speed Sensorless Control of Induction Motors Using a Neural Network (2004)

A robustly adaptive speed sensorless direct vector control system using a neural network (NN) is presented in this paper. Firstly, a new type of flux observer based on a robust control scheme is introduced. The uncertainty of the rotor resistance mainly affects the speed estimation performance, and until now, various observer approaches have been developed. The proposed flux observer employs an additional robustifying signal to cope with the uncertainty instead of the resistance adaptation procedure. The proposed adaptive scheme is determined so that the observer dynamics is stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Secondly, a robust speed controller using a NN is proposed. The lumped uncertainties including parametric uncertainty, external load disturbance and unmodeled dynamics are approximated by the NN, and an additional robust control term is introduced to compensate for the reconstruction error of the NN. A control law and adaptive laws for the weights in the NN and a bounding constant are established so that t closed-loop system is stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Some computer simulations are presented to show the efficiency of the proposed system.

PWM regenerative rectifiers: state of the art (2005)

New regulations impose more stringent limits on current harmonics injected by power converters that are achieved with pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) rectifiers. In addition, several applications demand the capability of power regeneration to the power supply. This work presents the state of the art in the field of regenerative rectifiers with reduced input harmonics and improved power factor. Regenerative rectifiers are able to deliver energy back from the dc side to the ac power supply. Topologies for single- and three-phase power supplies are considered with their corresponding control strategies. Special attention is given to the application of voltage- and current-source PWM rectifiers in different processes with a power range from a few kilowatts up to several megawatts. This paper shows that PWM regenerative rectifiers are a highly developed and mature technology with a wide industrial acceptance.
Systems Biology Analysis Reveals Eight SLC22 Transporter Subgroups, Including OATs, OCTs, and OCTNs (2020)

The SLC22 family of OATs, OCTs, and OCTNs is emerging as a central hub of endogenous physiology. Despite often being referred to as "drug" transporters, they facilitate the movement of metabolites and key signaling molecules. An in-depth reanalysis supports a reassignment of these proteins into eight functional subgroups, with four new subgroups arising from the previously defined OAT subclade: OATS1 (SLC22A6, SLC22A8, and SLC22A20), OATS2 (SLC22A7), OATS3 (SLC22A11, SLC22A12, and Slc22a22), and OATS4 (SLC22A9, SLC22A10, SLC22A24, and SLC22A25). We propose merging the OCTN (SLC22A4, SLC22A5, and Slc22a21) and OCT-related (SLC22A15 and SLC22A16) subclades into the OCTN/OCTN-related subgroup. Using data from GWAS, in vivo models, and in vitro assays, we developed an SLC22 transporter-metabolite network and similar subgroup networks, which suggest how multiple SLC22 transporters with mono-, oligo-, and multi-specific substrate specificity interact to regulate metabolites. Subgroup associations include: OATS1 with signaling molecules, uremic toxins, and odorants, OATS2 with cyclic nucleotides, OATS3 with uric acid, OATS4 with conjugated sex hormones, particularly etiocholanolone glucuronide, OCT with neurotransmitters, and OCTN/OCTN-related with ergothioneine and carnitine derivatives. Our data suggest that the SLC22 family can work among itself, as well as with other ADME genes, to optimize levels of numerous metabolites and signaling molecules, involved in organ crosstalk and inter-organismal communication, as proposed by the remote sensing and signaling theory.
Immunogenic and Protective Properties of Recombinant Proteins Based on Meningococcal Iga1 Protease (2015)

Recombinant proteins (M1K2–N963-LEH6, MA28–N963-LEH6 and ME135–H328-LEH6) have been created on the basis of the genome sequence of IgA1 protease of N. meningitidis serogroup B strain H44/76. It is revealed that, similarly to the native enzyme isolated earlier from N. meningitidis serogroup A strain A208, these proteins induce formation of animal protection against the infection with the virulent strain of meningococcus serogroup B. It is shown that these compounds are promising as a basis for a polyvalent anti-meningococcal vaccine.

Platelet releasate increases the proliferation and migration of bone marrow‐derived cells cultured under osteogenic conditions (2006)

Concentrated platelets and their products are currently being used as a clinical tool to accelerate endosseous wound healing. However, there is little understanding regarding the actions of platelets and platelet-released products on osteogenic cells. We show, herein, that releasate from thrombin-activated platelets increases the migration and proliferation of osteogenic cultures of bone marrow cells. Using a scratch wound assay, we demonstrated that platelet releasate (PR) stimulated up to a 2.4 +/- 0.5-fold increase in wound closure in serum-free medium, relative to a control containing thrombin. In the presence of serum, the addition of PR resulted in a 1.45 +/- 0.13-fold increase in scratch closure. To isolate cell migration from the effects of cell proliferation, cell monolayers were pre-incubated with 5, 10 and 20 microg/ml of Mitomycin C (MMC), which is a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation. This resulted in a large decrease in the leading front of scratch closure, which indicates that PR stimulated cell mitogenesis. However, irrespective of MMC pre-treatment, PR stimulated a motogenic response. These results provide evidence of possible mechanisms by which platelets could influence bone regeneration.
Study on a true random number generator design for FPGA (2010)

One of the most debated category of random number generators designs implemented on FPGA is based on free running ring oscillators. This dissertation presents a method of speculating the properties of Galois ring oscillators following the idea that much higher entropy rates can be achieved using this kind of oscillators, in comparison with the classic ring oscillators. This is equivalent with phase jitter increase, which is the main source of randomness in a ring oscillator based random number generator.
Reactivity analysis of different Networked Automation System architectures (2008)

The reactivity of Networked Automation Systems (NAS) has direct influence on safety and quality aspects. It can be determined by a response time analysis, which itself can be calculated using probabilistic model checking (PMC). The analysis of a NAS has to account for several coupled components, each of them exhibiting its own behavior. Consequently, in this article the influences of (1) the controllerpsilas execution behavior including its network interface card (cyclic vs. interrupt based) and (2) the communication model (Producer-Consumer vs. Client-Server) on the response time behavior will be analyzed. For this purpose the systems are represented by abstract models using probabilistic timed automata. Probabilistic model checking is used to compare the reactivity of different possible combinations of the basic behaviors.
Multisensor fusion using a new procedure for ballistic path estimation (2002)

This paper describes a new procedure for real-time fusion of ballistic missile track data from multiple sensors of varying phenomenologies and update rates. This method can add value to missile defense systems by providing enhanced missile position and velocity information for warning and handover, using only position data from any number of existing sensors. This procedure is based on very minimal assumptions, making it broadly applicable to many ballistic estimation situations.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Cryogenic liquid-jet target for debris-free laser-plasma soft x-ray generation (1998)

A new target system based on a continuous cryogenic liquid jet for debris-free laser-plasma soft x-ray generation is described. The system is experimentally evaluated with liquid nitrogen as target material. With this target the photon flux is 4.5×1011 photons/(sr×pulse) from the λ=2.88 nm N VI line. Brightness and stability are also investigated for this table-top soft x-ray microscope source. The possibility to utilize other cryogenic liquids such as neon, argon, and xenon and, thus, making the system interesting for short-wavelength lithography applications, is also discussed.
Hyperspectral Imaging: Converting Colors to Molecular Information (2007)

We have developed several hyperspectral fluorescence microscopes. For each pixel (2D) or voxel (3D) within the specimen, a hyperspectral microscope will collect hundreds of wavelengths throughout the spectrum. Our new microscopes can record the entire emission spectrum from 500 nm to 800 nm for every location in the image. Both microscopes are being used in biological research projects such as genomic analyses, interactions of pathogens with the innate immune system, and carbon sequestration from the atmosphere by photosynthetic bacteria. One of our microscopes is a 3D confocal fluorescence microscope that can optically section live cells with submicron spatial resolution. When coupled with multivariate curve resolution (MCR) analysis methods, the new microscope can &#x201C;discover,&#x201D; quantify, and resolve multiple spatially and spectrally overlapped emission components, thereby greatly increasing the number of fluorescent labels that can be monitored simultaneously. The design and operation of the microscope will be discussed along with the multivariate methods used to analyze the hyperspectral images. The utility of the new approach will be demonstrated with hyperspectral images of live Synechocystis cells. Synechocystis is a cyanobacterium, a class of organisms responsible for a large fraction of carbon sequestration from the atmosphere. In these experiments, cells from wild type and from mutants lacking a photosystem or a step in chlorophyll biosynthesis were imaged to better understand relative concentrations and spatial distributions of photosynthetic pigments in these bacteria. Hyperspectral images obtained from biological systems including microarrays for whole genome gene expression analyses, interaction of bacteria pathogens with macrophage cells, growth of biofilms on water purification membranes, and cell signaling in rat basophilic leukemia cells labeled with multiplecolor quantum dots will also be presented. The new microscope and associated multivariate analyses constitute an enabling new technology for cell imaging and for understanding a variety of molecular and physical processes occurring in live cells.
Stable Performance MAC Protocol for HOY Wireless Tester under Large Population (2007)

It has been widely noted that the traditional test equipments cannot catch up with the increasing speed, pin count, and parameter accuracy of advanced IC products, rapidly increasing the test cost for semiconductor chips and wafers. To solve this problem, we had proposed a novel wireless test system called HOY. In this paper we present a stable performance MAC Protocol for the HOY wireless tester under large population. It provides three functions: Test Initialization (TI), NACK Based Reliable Multicast (NBRM), and Polling. The tester may use TI to gather information from the dies under tests (DUTs) and apply NBRM to transmit test commands to the DUTs. Upon finishing the test process, the HOY tester collects the test results by Polling. The stable performance indices include the throughput and average performance TI, and the reliability and transmission time of NBRM. We show that the number of DUTs has little effect on performance, making the improvement of test parallelism promising for the HOY approach.
An integrated critique of the efficacy of topical mupirocin in preventing catheter-related Staphylococcus aureus infections in peritoneal dialysis clients. (2002)

Several epidemiological studies indicate that, for two reasons, Staphylococcus aureus (SA) nasal carriage is a risk factor for developing SA infections in peritoneal dialysis (PD) clients. First, nasal carriage is prevalent in these clients due to the nature of their disease. Second, there is a significant relationship between nasal and hand carriage of the SA organism. Because PD clients require frequent catheter handling to receive therapy, they are at risk for catheter contamination. Two prospective randomized control trials and two prospective cohort trials with historical controls were selected for review. Emphasis was placed on the design feature of a comparison or control group in order to find empirical support for the efficacy of topical mupirocin (Bactroban) as an infection control measure. The four studies selected also used two methods of application, the first application was to the nares and the second was to the catheter exit site. The result of the analysis revealed a weak support for the prophylactic role of topical mupirocin in preventing SA exit-site infections (ESI) in PD clients. Well-controlled prospective, randomized studies with sufficiently large sample sizes to produce statistically and clinically significant results for the prophylactic role of mupirocin are lacking. In light of the analysis, the advocacy of several practice implications involving client education and timely follow-up, staff training, and client comfort are warranted.
Packed absorber model for CO/sub 2/ and H/sub 2/S absorption into aqueous methyldiethanol amine (1988)

Designing separation devices, particularly for selective removal of H/sub 2/S, requires an accurate model. Unfortunately, this requirement for high accuracy is often in conflict with the need for efficient computation. The addition of more and more complicated analyses, such as a move from Henry's law to a method incorporating gas and liquid activities for computing vapor liquid equilibrium, gives a more accurate solution, but only at the cost of decreased computational efficiency. A steady state packed column model for the aqueous MDEA-H/sub 2/S-CO/sub 2/ system is developed to address this problem. It is used to examine the tradeoffs in the methods for predicting vapor liquid equilibrium, mass transfer coefficients, interfacial area, and mass transfer rates at each point in the column.

Thrombolysis for acute stroke. (2003)

Thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator is well tolerated and effective within 3 h of symptoms, and new trials will determine if extension of this time-window or new target populations for thrombolysis, such as children with stroke, can be substantiated. An unfinished task remains in the education of health personnel; imperatives stemming from pathophysiology need to penetrate attitudes on acute stroke at all levels before acute therapies such as thrombolysis can have an impact on stroke outcome in general.
Clotting And Chromogenic Substrate Assays Measure Separate Thrombin Activities (1981)

Thrombin, the final serine protease responsible for the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, is known to have the ability to cleave other peptides in addition to those involved in blood coagulation. Many synthetic substrates were devised to be acted on by thrombin reflecting esterolytic, amidolytic and other cleaving properties. Antithrombin III, the major protease inhibitor of plasma, has been shown to bind the proteolytic properties of thrombin irreversibly. The purpose of this study was to determine whether all enzymatic properties are destroyed simultaneously or whether the inhibitor binds the active site leaving esterolytic functions intact. Purified α-thrombin was examined with fibrinogen, and H-D-Phe-Pip-arg-p-nitroanilide assays to prepare standard working curves relating units thrombin to the rate of fibrin endpoint or to the rate of production of chromophore. Then progressive antithrombin inactivation of seryl residue was examined by increasing concentrations of ATIII incubated with thrombin for five minutes and aliquots simultaneously examined for the ability to clot a standard fibrinogen solution and to cleave the synthetic substrate. The clotting activity decreased steadily with increasing antithrombin, whereas the esterase activity remained constant. The study provides further evidence to the observations of Chang et al (Biochemistry 18: 113, (1979)) that thrombin contains two functional sites, one highly specific for the fibrinopeptide region of fibrinogen and the second site relatively nonspecific, responsible for thrombin’s esterolytic activity. An important implication of this study is that clotting assays and chemical assays that use synthetic peptides reflect separate functional properties of the enzyme thrombin.
80 nm polysilicon gated n-FETs with ultra-thin Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ gate dielectric for ULSI applications (2002)

This work demonstrates the integration of Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ gate-dielectrics into a sub 0.1 /spl mu/m n-MOS process using polycrystalline silicon gates, Devices incorporating Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ films with a dielectric constant /spl epsi/-11 and electrical thickness t/sub qm/<1.5 nm have been fabricated. Gate leakage currents are /spl sim/100 times lower than those found in SiO/sub 2/ films of equivalent thickness. Encouraging device characteristics are shown. Charging due to slow states and/or fixed charge have been shown to be in the 100 mV range which may be related to the somewhat reduced mobility. The room temperature reliability of these devices based upon the values of /spl beta/ (Weibull slope) and /spl gamma/ (voltage acceleration) suggest that the Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ lifetime may exceed that of SiO/sub 2/ films.

Correlation between fatigue and piezoelectric properties in (Pb, La) (Zr, Ti)O3 thick films (1999)

The correlation between the ferroelectric fatigue and variations in piezoelectric properties in a 8/65/35 (Pb, La) (Zr, Ti)O3 thick film was studied by simultaneous measurements of the polarization hysteresis loop, the strain-field loop, the piezoelectric constant, and the dielectric constant during cycling. It was found that the fatigue reflects itself in the variations of the piezoelectric constant and the induced strain. Namely, during cycling both quantities decrease for the same relative amount as the remanent polarization. In addition, the effective electrostriction constant as a function of switching cycles was determined.

64.4: Invited Paper : Wireless Panel Architecture Using Lossless Uncompressed 60 GHz Transmissions (2009)

Abstract Wireless transmissions have dramatically improved panel placement and interconnection flexibility. In this paper we present a wireless panel architecture where the panel functionality partitioning can be optimized through the use of a 60 GHz high speed wireless link to deliver full fidelity, uncompressed and lossless video at consumer price points. SiBEAM's fully‐integrated all‐CMOS WirelessHD® chipsets enable this architecture via robust transmissions at data rates up to 4 Gbps.
Ultrastructural Immunoperoxidase Demonstration of Relaxin in Corpora Lutea from a Pregnant Sow (1978)

Corpora lutea from a pregnant sow were prepared for immunocytochemical localization of relaxin in granulosa lutein cells at the ultrastructural level. The antiserum used in the staining procedure was raised against a highly purified porcine relaxin prepared from pregnant sows’ ovaries. The primary criterion for specificity was the identification of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase complex and a reduction in staining intensity upon prior incubation with porcine relaxin. Anti-relaxin serum stained a population of small granules which were commonly found in clusters within the cytoplasm or bordering the plasmalemma. The localization of relaxin in these granules extends the observations of others who have correlated changes in the number of granules with relaxin levels as determined by bioassay.
