Heterojunction acoustic charge transport devices on GaAs (1988)

We have demonstrated a new type of buried-channel acoustic charge transport device in which charge is transported in an (Al,Ga)As/GaAs/(Al,Ga)As heterojunction channel. Traveling-wave potential wells, associated with a surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating on the 〈100〉 surface of a GaAs crystal, transport electrons at the SAW velocity by means of a large-signal acoustoelectric interaction. Heterojunction acoustic charge transport (HACT) delay lines have been fabricated, and the transport of charge demonstrated. Charge packets with up to 16×106 electrons/cm were measured in a delay 1.4 μs long. The HACT device is much simpler, the transport channel is more reliably produced (by molecular beam epitaxy or metalorganic chemical vapor deposition), and the device has potential for higher dynamic range when compared to the previously developed acoustic charge transport technology. This new device type is useful for the implementation of high-speed monolithic signal processors.
Synthetic Application of Tris(methylthio)methyl Salts. An Efficient Route to Trithioorthocarboxylic Esters from Strongly Activated Aromatic and Heteroaromatic Systems (1988)

Nine trithioorthocarboxylic esters were synthesized by reaction of tris(methylthio)methyl methyl sulfate or tetrafluoroborate with electron-rich aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds, i.e. N,N-dialkylarylamines, pyrroles, and indoles. The new procedure is simple and offers the following advantages: easy preparation of reagents; mild reaction conditions; possibility to introduce two tris(methylthio)methyl groups into the same ring, good to excellent yields.
Unaliasing by Fourier‐encoding the overlaps using the temporal dimension (UNFOLD), applied to cardiac imaging and fMRI (1999)

In several applications, MRI is used to monitor the time behavior of the signal in an organ of interest; e.g., signal evolution because of physiological motion, activation, or contrast-agent accumulation. Dynamic applications involve acquiring data in a k–t space, which contains both temporal and spatial information. It is shown here that in some dynamic applications, the t axis of k–t space is not densely filled with information. A method is introduced that can transfer information from the k axes to the t axis, allowing a denser, smaller k–t space to be acquired, and leading to significant reductions in the acquisition time of the temporal frames. Results are presented for cardiac-triggered imaging and functional MRI (fMRI), and are compared with data obtained in a conventional way. The temporal resolution was increased by nearly a factor of two in the cardiac-triggered study, and by as much as a factor of eight in the fMRI study. This increase allowed the acquisition of fMRI activation maps, even when the acquisition time for a single full time frame was actually longer than the paradigm cycle period itself. The new method can be used to significantly reduce the acquisition time of the individual temporal frames in certain dynamic studies. This can be used, for example, to increase the temporal or spatial resolution, increase the spatial coverage, decrease the total imaging time, or alter sequence parameters e.g., repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE) and thereby alter contrast.

Design methodology for chip-on-chip applications (2002)

We describe a design methodology for several chip-on-chip applications that uses a single redistribution metal layer on each chip and solder bumps as vias to form a two-level routing system.
Combining enhanced biomass density with reduced lignin level for improved forage quality (2015)

To generate a forage crop with increased biomass density that retains forage quality, we have genetically transformed lines of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) expressing antisense constructs targeting two different lignin pathway biosynthetic genes with a construct for down-regulation of a WRKY family transcription factor that acts as a repressor of secondary cell wall formation in pith tissues. Plants with low-level expression of the WRKY dominant repressor construct produced lignified cell walls in pith tissues and exhibited enhanced biomass and biomass density, with an increase in total sugars in the cell wall fraction; however, lines with high expression of the WRKY dominant repressor construct exhibited a very different phenotype, with loss of interfascicular fibres associated with repression of the NST1 transcription factor. This latter phenotype was not observed in transgenic lines in which the WRKY transcription factor was down-regulated by RNA interference. Enhanced and/or ectopic deposition of secondary cell walls was also seen in corn and switchgrass expressing WRKY dominant repressor constructs, with enhanced biomass in corn but reduced biomass in switchgrass. Neutral detergent fibre digestibility was not impacted by WRKY expression in corn. Cell walls from WRKY-DR-expressing alfalfa plants with enhanced secondary cell wall formation exhibited increased sugar release efficiency, and WRKY dominant repressor expression further increased sugar release in alfalfa down-regulated in the COMT, but not the HCT, genes of lignin biosynthesis. These results suggest that significant enhancements in forage biomass and quality can be achieved through engineering WRKY transcription factors in both monocots and dicots.
Valiolamine, a new .ALPHA.-glucosidase inhibiting aminocyclitol produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus. (1984)

Valiolamine, a new aminocyclitol has been isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. limoneus and its structure has been determined to be (1(OH),2,4,5/1,3)-5-amino-1-C-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3,4-cyclohexanetetr ol. Valiolamine has more potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity against porcine intestinal sucrase, maltase and isomaltase than valienamine, validamine and hydroxyvalidamine which were reported as building blocks of validamycins and microbial oligosaccharide alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. In addition, valienamine, validamine and hydroxyvalidamine have been isolated from the fermentation broth.
In-vivo synthetic aperture flow imaging in medical ultrasound (2003)

A new method for acquiring flow images using synthetic aperture techniques in medical ultrasound is presented. The new approach makes it possible to have a continuous acquisition of flow data throughout the whole image simultaneously, and this can significantly improve blood velocity estimation. Any type of filter can be used for discrimination between tissue and blood flow without initialization, and the number of lines used for velocity estimation is limited only by the nonstationarity of the flow. The new approach is investigated through both simulations and measurements. A flow rig is used for generating a parabolic laminar flow, and a research scanner is used for acquiring RF data from individual transducer elements. A reference profile is calculated from a mass flow meter. The parabolic velocity profile is estimated using the new approach with a relative standard deviation of 2.2% and a mean relative bias of 3.4% using 24 pulse emissions at a flow angle of 45 degrees. The 24 emissions can be used for making a full-color flow map image. An in-vivo image of flow in the carotid artery for a 29-year-old male also is presented. The full image is acquired using 24 emissions.
Evidence for X-Chromosomal Schizophrenia Associated with microRNA Alterations (2009)

Functional analyses of ectopically expressed copies of the variant miRNA precursors demonstrate loss of function, gain of function or altered expression levels. While confirmation is required, this study suggests that microRNA mutations can contribute to schizophrenia.
Robust Parsing Based on Discourse Information: Completing partial parses of ill-formed sentences on the basis of discourse information (1995)

In a consistent text, many words and phrases are repeatedly used in more than one sentence. When an identical phrase (a set of consecutive words) is repeated in different sentences, the constituent words of those sentences tend to be associated in identical modification patterns with identical parts of speech and identical modifiee-modifier relationships. Thus, when a syntactic parser cannot parse a sentence as a unified structure, parts of speech and modifiee-modifier relationships among morphologically identical words in complete parses of other sentences within the same text provide useful information for obtaining partial parses of the sentence. In this paper, we describe a method for completing partial parses by maintaining consistency among morphologically identical words within the same text as regards their part of speech and their modifiee-modifier relationship. The experimental results obtained by using this method with technical documents offer good prospects for improving the accuracy of sentence analysis in a broad-coverage natural language processing system such as a machine translation system.
An efficient electron-transporting polymer for light-emitting diodes (1998)

The efficient operation of polymer light-emitting diodes (LEDs) requires balanced injection and transport of electrons and holes. This has stimulated much research into suitable electron-injecting and transporting materials. We report the use of polypyridine as an efficient electron-transporting polymer. We have achieved much-improved LED performance by incorporating polypyridine as an electron-transporting layer in a poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) LED and optimizing layer thicknesses to balance transport of electrons and holes. The external quantum efficiency of these LEDs is 0.25%, 60 times greater than similar devices without the electron-transporting layer.
A New SNR Prediction Method for MIMO-OFDM Systems with Maximum Likelihood Detector (2011)

In order to employ adaptive modulation and coding, it is important to determine the post-detected signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system. In this paper, we propose a new method to predict the link performance for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with maximum likelihood detector (MLD) which adopt a single channel encoder. By using the relation between the upper and the lower bound systems of the MIMO system with MLD and defining the dynamic SNR penalty, we show that it is possible to represent the link performance of MIMO systems with MLD as a single scalar value with high accuracy. By adopting the proposed method to adaptive modulation and coding systems, we confirm the efficiency of the proposed method for frequency selective channels through simulations.
Chemically Responsive Gels Prepared from Microspheres Dispersed in Liquid Crystals (2009)

Liquid-crystalline materials are a promising class of stimuli-responsive materials that have been demonstrated to undergo surface-induced orientational ordering transitions that can be highly sensitive and specific to chemical species. However, past studies demonstrating surface-induced transitions in liquid crystals (LCs) have employed thin films of low-molecular-weight LCs that are difficult to stabilize (due to dewetting of the LC on a surface). Here, it is reported that it is possible to prepare liquid-crystalline gels using a mixture of polystyrene microspheres and nematic LCs that undergo changes in orientational order, and thus optical appearance, in response to exposure to specific chemical compounds. These colloid-in-liquid-crystal (CLC) gels are mechanically stable and can be molded on chemically functionalized surfaces into thin films containing micrometer-sized LC-rich domains that span the two interfaces of the gels. In contrast to other reports of LC gels, where the presence of a polymeric or self-assembled small-molecule gelator network within a nematic LC frustrates ordering transitions from propagating through the gels over distances, it is demonstrated that thin films of CLC gels, when supported on chemically functionalized surfaces, do undergo easily visualized ordering transitions upon exposure to organophosphonate compounds. Because these optically responsive CLC gels are mechanically robust and can be molded, this class of composite LC material may be broadly useful for the design of chemically responsive LC devices.
Libsec: A Hardware Virtualization-Based Isolation for Shared Library (2017)

A typical application normally includes the main program and some shared libraries. The main program can arbitrarily execute the code of those shared libraries due to the coexistence in the same memory space. This feature can be used by attackers to carry out code-reuse attacks. Meanwhile, the shared libraries are shared across multiple applications, which can help attackers to simplify the process of code-reuse attacks. Isolating shared library into a separate execution environment and restricting the access to this library is a promising countermeasure, while the existing isolation approaches need to either modify the main program, or break the shared feature of the library. In this paper, we present Libsec, an efficient and transparent approach to isolate shared libraries, without the need of source code of the main program or shared libraries. Libsec adopts commodity hardware virtualization extension to isolate shared libraries from the main program. Meanwhile, Libsec relies on static instrumentation and dynamic processing to provide interfaces for legitimate cross-domain invocations. By this way, Libsec can guarantee that the main program and shared libraries are executed in the corresponding execution environment respectively, while cross-domain invocation is only allowed via specific interfaces, thus preventing the main program from jumping directly to the shared library. We implement a prototype of Libsec in KVM. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we deploy it to some real-world applications and libraries, such as Nginx and OpenSSL libraries. Security evaluation shows that Libsec can prevent the attacker from utilizing the functions or instruction sequences of the shared library for code-reuse attack. Performance evaluation shows that the performance and space overhead caused by Libsec are appropriate.
Rapid three‐dimensional T1‐weighted MR imaging with the MP‐RAGE sequence (1991)

The authors investigated the application of three-dimensional (3D) magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo (MP-RAGE) imaging to the acquisition of small (32 x 128 x 256) T1-weighted 3D data sets with imaging times of approximately 1 minute. A theoretical model was used to study the contrast behavior of brain tissue. On the basis of these theoretical results, 3D MP-RAGE sequences were implemented on a 1.5-T whole-body imager. Thirty-two-section 3D data sets demonstrating good signal-to-noise ratios and resolution and strong T1-weighted contrast were obtained in 1 minute. Compared with standard short TR/TE spin-echo sequences with the same imaging times and comparable sequence parameters, the 3D MP-RAGE sequence delivered increases of more than 50% in the white matter/gray matter signal difference-to-noise and white matter signal-to-noise ratios, and provided almost twice as many sections. These sequences may find a clinical role in 3D scout imaging and screening and in patients with claustrophobia or trauma.
Routine Quality Testing of Blood Platelet Transfusions with Dynamic Light Scattering (2008)

Abstract Extension of the current 5‐day shelf life of platelet concentrates to increase the supply of this life saving blood product will require quality testing. However, no automated test exists to routinely measure the quality of platelet concentrates for transfusion. Platelet concentrates cannot be sampled and diluted. These practical limitations have prevented the routine use of optical methods for platelet quality testing. The Dynamic Light Scattering Platelet Monitor (DLS‐PM) addresses these limitations. The DLS‐PM is a portable instrument with a temperature‐controlled sample holder to accommodate a wide range of sample containers. The challenges of small sample size, short light path through the sample, and accurate temperature control have been solved. The DLS‐PM measures platelet size, number of platelet‐derived microparticles, and the response of platelets to temperature changes, which are combined to calculate a platelet quality score. In this paper we introduce the DLS‐PM and discuss the advantages and challenges for dynamic light scattering to become a clinically relevant, routinely used platelet test.
Neutralization-sensitive epitopes are exposed on the surface of infectious <i>Cryptosporidium parvum</i> sporozoites. (1989)

Abstract Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease of humans, calves, and other mammals caused by the coccidian parasite Cryptosporidium parvum. Immune bovine serum and two surface-reactive antisporozoite mAb with neutralizing activity were used to identify sporozoite surface Ag by radioimmunoprecipitation/SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting. When isolated sporozoites were incubated with mAb 18.44, 12 to 25 times the ID50 for mice was completely neutralized. This mAb binds diffusely to the sporozoite surface and recognizes a sporozoite surface Ag that eluted in the void volume of a Bio Gel A column with an exclusion limit of 500,000 daltons. The Ag recognized by mAb 18.44 was not radiolabeled with 125I or [35S] methionine, migrated with the dye front in SDS-PAGE, and was insensitive to proteinase K digestion, suggesting a non-protein composition. mAb 17.41 significantly neutralized 25 times the ID50 of sporozoites for mice. This mAb binds multifocally to the sporozoite surface and recognizes [35S] methionine-labeled sporozoite surface Ag of 28,000 m.w., 55,000 m.w., and 98,000 m.w. Immune bovine serum immunoprecipitated [35S] methionine- or 125I-labeled sporozoite Ag ranging from less than 14,300 m.w. to greater than 200,000 m.w., including surface Ag of 28,000 m.w. and 55,000 m.w. The results indicate that two different molecules capable of inducing neutralizing antibody are exposed on the surface of C. parvum sporozoites.
Oligomerization of Ethylene Using New Iron Catalysts Bearing Pendant Donor Modified α-Diimine Ligands (2007)

Stoichiometric Schiff base condensations of sterically bulky primary amines with acenaphthenequinone yield isolable monoimines. In the presence of Fe or other transition metals, the remaining ketone reacts with a second primary amine bearing a pendent donor atom to give asymmetric, tridentate, α-diimine complexes. Upon activation with alumoxanes, these complexes are highly active for the oligomerization of ethylene to linear α-olefins, with turnover numbers (TONs) exceeding 2.5 × 106 mol ethylene/mol Fe. Product purities are high, with 1-hexene and 1-octene exceeding 99% purity in most examples.
Development and evaluation of the specificity of a rat monoclonal anti-idiotype antibody, WN, to an anti-B-cell lymphoma monoclonal antibody, LL2. (1995)

Anti-idiotype monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to mLL2, an anti-B-cell lymphoma and CD22-specific murine IgG2a-kappa Mab, were generated by hybridoma technology from splenocytes of Copenhagen rats immunized with mLL2 F(ab')2. Mab WN, an IgG2a-kappa, was selected based on its specific binding to mLL2 and not other IgG isotypes or anti-B-cell Mabs. In a radioimmunoassay, WN was found to inhibit the binding of 125I-labeled mLL2 to Raji cells and to have no effect on the binding of other B-cell-reactive antibodies. Using high performance liquid chromatography analysis, WN was shown to complex specifically with both mLL2 and mLL2 Fab'. Meanwhile, we have constructed chimeric (cLL2) and humanized (hLL2) versions of LL2. Both cLL2 and hLL2 were demonstrated to retain the original antigen specificity and affinity of mLL2 [S.O. Leung et al., Proc. Am. Assoc. Cancer Res., 2872 (abstract), 34: 481, 1993]. The specific binding of WN to either radioiodinated or peroxidase-conjugated mLL2 was inhibited in a dose-response manner, and to a similar extent by mLL2, cLL2, and hLL2. Since the mLL2 complementarity-determining regions are the only sequences common to mLL2, cLL2, and hLL2, the result confirms that WN is specific to the antigen-binding complementarity-determining regions. A WN binding assay is currently being evaluated as a substitute for the tedious, and sometimes inconsistent, Raji cell-binding assay for the determination of LL2 immunoreactivity. In conclusion, we have developed an anti-idiotype Mab, WN, to mLL2. Its potential use as a surrogate antigen for B-cell lymphoma is under investigation.
SLIDE: subspace-based line detection (1993)

The SLIDE (subspace-based line detection) algorithm, a technique for estimating parameters of multiple straight lines in an image, is described. By reformulating the line fitting problem into a spectral estimation framework, SLID exploits subspace-based techniques of sensor array processing to obtain high resolution and closed-form estimates for the line parameters. The computational complexity of SLIDE is an order of magnitude less than that of the Hough transform method, and, unlike the Hough transform, SLIDE does not require a search procedure to estimate the parameters. Potential application areas of this technique include road tracing in robotic vision, aerial image analysis, mask-wafer alignment and linewidth measurement in semiconductor manufacturing, and text alignment in document analysis.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
A 0.13um 6GHz 256x32b Leakage-tolerant Register File (2001)

This paper describes a 256x32b 4-read, 4-write ported register file for 6GHz operation in 1.2V, 0.13pm technology. The local bitline uses a pseudo-static leakage tolerant scheme to achieve 8% faster read performance and 36% higher DC noise robustness (with 6x active leakage reduction) compared to dual-Vt scheme optimized for high-performance.
A Smart Capsule With GI-Tract-Location-Specific Payload Release (2015)

In this paper, we present a smart capsule for location-specific drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. Once activated through a magnetic proximity fuse, the capsule opens up and releases its powdered payload in a location specified by an implanted miniature magnetic marker or an externally worn larger magnet. The capsule (9 mm × 26 mm) comprises of two compartments: one contains a charged capacitor and a reed switch, while the second one houses the drug reservoir capped by a taut nylon thread intertwined with a nichrome wire. The nichrome wire is connected to the capacitor through the reed switch. The capacitor is charged to 2.7 V before ingestion and once within the proximity of the permanent magnet; the reed switch closes, discharging the capacitor through the nichrome wire, melting the nylon thread, detaching the cap, and emptying the drug reservoir.
A triple‐injection method for microchip electrophoresis (2005)

We report here a novel triple injection method for microchip electrophoresis (micro-CE) that results in a higher intensity of DNA peaks. This new method includes a triple-repeated process of a combination of a sample loading voltage and a separation voltage in each interval, namely (loading time) + (separation time) + (loading time) + (separation time) + (loading time), prior to electrophoretic separation. All these injections were electrokinetically controlled by a software. Although the usual sample injection, which included the process of one 60 s electrokinetically application, was limited by the amount of sample, peaks of 40% higher intensity were obtained using the new method within half of the conventional injection time compared to the conventional method. Maximum peak intensity was successfully achieved with integration of the intensities of the triple-repeated peaks by adjusting the application period of the separation voltage. Repetition of the sample loading voltage for an adjusted period with a further adjusted period of separation voltage in each interval may be an effective method for injection of samples that results in peaks with higher intensity.
