<title>Lasercom pointing, acquisition, and tracking control using a CCD-based tracker</title> (1994)

A CCD-based spatial acquisition and tracking subsystem has been developed to perform both spatial acquisition and tracking functions for a lasercom instrument. By operating the CCD in the 'windowed' read mode, the detector can achieve both wide field of view required for spatial acquisition and the high update rate needed for effective platform jitter compensation. Furthermore, spatial tracking subsystem based on the CCD tracker requires only one steering mirror to perform both line-of-sight stabilization and point ahead functions, and provides means to optically close the point ahead control loop without additional sensors. When incorporated into the lasercom system designs, the array tracking concept can lead to reduced system complexity and hence a lower system cost.
Content-based isolation (2013)

Modern client platforms, such as iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows 8, have progressed from a per-user isolation policy, where users are isolated but a user's applications run in the same isolation container, to an application isolation policy, where different applications are isolated from one another. However, this is not enough because mutually distrusting content can interfere with one another inside a single application. For example, an attacker-crafted image may compromise a photo editor application and steal other images processed by the editor.
Integrated biomass hydropyrolysis and hydrotreating: a brief review (2014)

This article provides a brief overview of recent work connected with integrated hydropyrolysis and hydrotreating of biomass. It covers relevant aspects of biomass pyrolysis, and describes a process wherein oxygen is eliminated from pyrolysis vapors in the presence of hydrogen and appropriate catalysts. An integrated version of a process is discussed, wherein the reforming of noncondensable hydrocarbon vapors is used to generate all the hydrogen required to sustain hydropyrolysis and hydroconversion, and produce a deoxygenated liquid hydrocarbon fuel.

Real-Time Grasp Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks (2014)

We present an accurate, real-time approach to robotic grasp detection based on convolutional neural networks. Our network performs single-stage regression to graspable bounding boxes without using standard sliding window or region proposal techniques. The model outperforms state-of-the-art approaches by 14 percentage points and runs at 13 frames per second on a GPU. Our network can simultaneously perform classification so that in a single step it recognizes the object and finds a good grasp rectangle. A modification to this model predicts multiple grasps per object by using a locally constrained prediction mechanism. The locally constrained model performs significantly better, especially on objects that can be grasped in a variety of ways.

Thermal radiation effects in the atmosphere initiated by pre-earthquake processes (2020)

The science community is still looking for pre-earthquake indicators of major seismic events in order to minimize the loss of human life. Recent advances in satellite technology have helped to increase the scientific understanding of the nature of pre-earthquake phenomena in the atmosphere and their relationship with transitional thermal anomalies. It was realized that the thermal heat fluxes over areas of earthquake preparation are a result of air ionization by Rn <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">222</sup> , its isotopes and progenies and consequent water vapor condensation on newly formed ions. Latent heat (LH) is released as a result of this process and leads to the formation of local thermal radiation anomalies (TRA) known as outgoing longwave radiation (OLR). We recorded data from the most recent major earthquakes in California (2014) Nepal (2015) that allowed us to summaries TRA's main morphological features. It was also established that the TRA is part of a more complex chain of the short - term earthquake precursors, which are explained within the framework of a Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling (LAIC) model.
Fiber-optic digital video multiplexing using optical CDMA (1993)

The use of laser pulsing in the form of code-division multiple access (CDMA) to multiplex a set of digital video signals over a fiber network is proposed. The laser pulsing is used to generate unique code sequence addresses which identify each source, and the video data are modulated on these sequences. Digital encoding using pulse position modulation (PPM) is proposed, having advantages that permit efficient integration of optical and electronic processing. Data recovery is achieved by optical correlation for sequence recognition, followed by standard electronic PPM decoding. The relation between key system parameters of the encoding, decoding, and optics is derived, and indicates that compressed video rates between 5 and 20 Mb/s/channel, with 25-50 channels, is possible with relatively standard hardware. Experimental breadboard results being carried out at USC on this system indicate the feasibility of the CDMA concept for fiber multiplexing.
Effect of Molecular Interactions on Solubility of Polypyrrole (2000)

Abstract Molecular interactions in polypyrrole (PPy) doped with dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid anion were studied as a key factor affecting solubility of the polymer. The bulky dopant molecules are able to restrain the molecular interactions in as-polymerized PPy, but molecular interaction increases gradually as time elapses, causing insolubilization of PPy powder. Insolubilization results mainly from a formation of crosslinks between polymer chains.
Characterization of a novel third member of the human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein H-glycoprotein L complex (1997)

A prerequisite for understanding the molecular function of the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) gH (UL75)-gL (UL115) complex is a detailed knowledge of the structure of this complex in its functional form, as it is present in mature virions. The gH protein is known to be a component of a 240-kDa envelope complex designated as gCIII (D. R. Gretch, B. Kari, L. Rasmussen, R. C. Gehrz, and M. F. Stinski, J. Virol. 62:875-881, 1988). However, the exact composition of the gCIII complex remains unknown. In this report, we attempted reconstitution of the gCIII complex by coexpression of gH and gL in the baculovirus expression system. Formation of recombinant gH-gL complexes of approximately 115 kDa was demonstrated; however, no higher-molecular-mass (approximately 240-kDa) recombinant gH-gL complexes were detected, suggesting that the presence of gH and gL alone is not sufficient for reconstitution of the gCIII complex. To identify other mammalian and/or HCMV factors which may be necessary for gCIII formation, immunoprecipitates of gH and gL from HCMV-infected fibroblasts and purified HCMV virions were examined. This analysis did reveal a number of coprecipitating proteins which associate either transiently or integrally with gH and gL. One coprecipitating protein of 145 kDa was shown to be an integral component of gCIII, along with gH and gL. Characterization of the 145-kDa protein demonstrates that it is structurally and antigenically unrelated to gH and gL and that it appears to be virally encoded. Together, these data indicate that the 145-kDa protein is a third novel component of the mature HCMV gH-gL complex.
High-Performance Carbon Nanotube Complementary Logic With End-Bonded Contacts (2017)

Carbon nanotube (CNT) has been envisioned as a promising channel replacement for silicon in sub-5 nm logic technology nodes. Successful implementation of CNT-based CMOS technology requires high-quality lowresistance contacts for both p- and n-type field-effect transistors (PFETs and NFETs) that can be scaled down to sub-10 nm size. End-bonded contact schemes potentially provide the solution for ultrascaled contacts to CNTs with their low and size-independent contact resistances. In this paper, we report a new form of end-bonded metal contacts made by carbon dissolution into metal contacts with high carbon solubility (e.g., Ni and Co). This new approach requires low annealing temperature (400 °C-600 °C) and maintains metal integrity post contact formation, which has been the major issue in previous metal carbide-based demonstrations where typically >900 °C annealing is required. The end-bonded Ni contacts serve as robust p-type contacts to CNTs, and perform better than standard side-bonded Pd contacts at scaled dimensions. In addition, for the first time, we demonstrate CMOS logic with endbonded Ni contacts, featuring the smallest reported contact size thus far for CNT inverters. These findings could pave the way to realizing CNT-based scalable CMOS technology.
Two-Step Plasma Process for Cleaning Indium Bonding Bumps (2009)

A two-step plasma process has been developed as a means of removing surface oxide layers from indium bumps used in flip-chip hybridization (bump bonding) of integrated circuits. The two-step plasma process makes it possible to remove surface indium oxide, without incurring the adverse effects of the acid etching process.
Abstract 1379: Identification of the functional significance of mutations using the novel precision cancer analysis system (2016)

Abstract Mounting evidence indicates that growth of pathologically identical cancers in each individual patient is fueled by different sets of driving mutations. The need to identify these drivers stems from the recognized necessity for tailoring therapy and scheduling future surveillance. This personalized medical approach has been shown to result in better treatment outcomes. We present a novel Precision Cancer Analysis system (PCAS) capable of identifying activated signaling pathways by means of a transfected cell-based fluorescent reporter assay yielding a quantitative output of particular pathway activation levels. Being a functional platform PCAS reveals activated pathways regardless of the type of mutation behind it, i.e. whether it is already a known mutation or a variant of unknown significance (VUS) mutation. 20 cancer patients were sequenced for a panel of 37 genes and analyzed by the PCAS. This system quantifies oncogenic activity in the majority of the oncogenic signaling pathways altered by the patients’ mutations through a functional assay and does not rely on prior knowledge of the mutations. The system produces a quantitative output enabling grading the different mutants of the same patient, providing prioritization for better drug selection. In 3 tested genes, 16 different mutations were identified- 4 in EGFR, 4 in PIK3CA and 8 in KRAS. Of these 10 were classified as known mutations for which functional annotation exists, and 6 were VUS. In addition to correctly annotating all known mutations, the PCAS further quantified oncogenic activity in all the VUS tested. Measuring the functional mechanism behind known mutations and VUS provides another layer of critical information to the physician. These results clearly demonstrate the value of a functional assay in accurately identifying the optimal course of treatment, particularly by its ability to add actionable information to VUS. The study produced a comprehensive delineation of the oncogenic activity of each patient's individual mutations demonstrating the ability of the PCAS to 1) accurately deliver comparable actionable information as found by NGS, 2) functionally characterize mutations annotated as VUS, and 3) monitor oncogenic activity of signaling pathways induced by different mutations and mutation-combinations enabling informed treatment decisions.

Cavity-Waveguide Coupling Engineered High Sensitivity Silicon Photonic Crystal Microcavity Biosensors With High Yield (2014)

We present a high yield and high sensitivity on-chip biosensing system by combining subwavelength grating coupling and high sensitivity photonic crystal microcavity side coupled to a photonic crystal waveguide. 80% yield of working devices was experimentally demonstrated for sensitivity engineered L13 photonic crystal microcavities and 70% for L21 photonic crystal microcavities. Subwavelength grating couplers significantly improved the quality of the output transmission spectrum. By engineering the optical loss rate from the cavity to the waveguide, we experimentally detected 1 pM (67 pg/ml) and 50 femto-molar (3.35 pg/ml) concentration of avidin binding to biotin in phosphate buffered saline for L21 and L55 PC microcavities respectively, which represents the highest sensitivity versus other chip-based optical biosensors.
Spectra and diode-pumped continuous-wave 155 µm laser of Er:Yb:Ca<sub>3</sub>NbGa<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>2</sub>O<sub>14</sub> crystal (2019)

The polarized spectra associated with 1.55 µm lasing in an Er:Yb:Ca<sub>3</sub>NbGa<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>2</sub>O<sub>14</sub> crystal were investigated at room temperature. The crystal had a large absorption cross section of 3.60 × 10<sup>-20</sup> cm<sup>2</sup> at 978 nm, long fluorescence lifetime of 5.81 ms for the <sup>4</sup>I<sub>13/2</sub> multiplet of Er<sup>3+</sup>, and broad emission band at 1.55 µm with full width at half-maximum of 60 nm. End-pumped by a 975 nm diode laser, a 1555 nm continuous-wave microlaser with a maximum output power of 0.4 W and a slope efficiency of 10.6% was demonstrated in a c-cut, 2.5-mm-thick crystal. Combining with natures of the long fluorescence lifetime and the broad emission band, the Er:Yb:Ca<sub>3</sub>NbGa<sub>3</sub>Si<sub>2</sub>O<sub>14</sub> crystal with a good thermal performance may be a promising gain medium for high-energy pulse and broadly tunable lasers around 1.55 µm.
Cooperative Sensing Scheduling for Energy-Aware Cognitive Radio Networks (2011)

Cooperative spectrum sensing, which provides an effective approach to improve the sensing performance and better exploit the spectrum opportunities, is an important technology to enable the implementation of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs). The most fundamental and practical problem of cooperative spectrum sensing is: how to appropriately schedule Secondary Users (SUs) to sense multiple primary channels? In this paper, we study this Cooperative Sensing Scheduling (CSS) problem in the context of energy-aware CRNs. The CSS problem is modeled as a combinatorial optimization problem with the objective of improving energy efficiency in CRNs. Different from general approaches which employ heuristic methods to solve such combinatorial optimization problem, we propose a theoretical framework and analytically study the problem. Some interesting and important properties are obtained, while a simple but robust algorithm that guarantees to find the optimal solution efficiently is developed based on our findings. By observing that our problem shares a general form as studied in many other topics, we also discuss about the potential applications of our framework.
Low-voltage organic light-emitting diodes by doped amorphous hole transport layers (2002)

Organic light emitting diodes generally suffer from higher operating voltages compared to inorganic ones. This limits their application in passive or active driven displays based on OLED-technology. As was previously shown by our group, p-type doping of the hole injection and transport layer of an organic light emitting diode (OLED) by co-evaporation of a matrix and an acceptor molecule leads to lower operating voltages of the device. In OLEDs using doped transport layers, the use of a proper buffer layer between the doped layer and the light emission layer is essential to yield a high current efficiency and a low operating voltage at the same time. In order to further enhance the device efficiency, we apply here the doping concept to OLEDs with a light emission layer which is doped with a fluorescent dye. This approach proves that doping of the transport layer is able to improve the optoelectronic properties of already highly efficient OLEDs. The doped hole injection and hole transport layer is a Starburst layer p-type-doped with tetrafluoro-tetracyano-quinodimethane (F<SUB>4</SUB>-TCNQ). As blocking layer, a diamine (TPD) is used. The emitter layer consists of quinacridone (QAD) doped aluminum-tris-(8-hydroxy-quinolate) (Alq<SUB>3</SUB>). Holes are injected from untreated ITO, electrons via a lithium-fluoride (LiF)/aluminum cathode combination. For this OLED layer sequence, we achieved a luminance of 100cd/m<SUP>2</SUP> in forward direction at the lowest operating voltage reported for completely non-polymeric OLEDs (3.2-3.4V) with a current efficiency of around 10cd/A.
Development of Planar Waveguide based Integrated Optic SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance) Sensor Array (2007)

An integrated optic SPR biosensor array with on-substrate integrated photo detectors has been developed. The device is able to generate SPR electrical signal directly and has the potential for high throughput optical sensing.
Fabrication of Resonant-Tunneling-Diode Terahertz Oscillators Using Rectangular Cavity Resonators and Bow-Tie Antennas for High Output Powers (2019)

Terahertz (THz) radiation, between light waves and millimeter waves, has been receiving much attention because of its applications. Resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) are major candidates for THz wave sources, because of their operation at room temperature and compactness. Although we achieved a high frequency oscillation of 1.98 THz by a slot-antenna structure, the output power of RTD oscillators is relatively small, in the order of 10 μW at around 1 THz. To increase the output power, we have proposed THz oscillators using RTDs with cavity resonators and bow-tie antennas. The rectangle cavity is expected to reduce the conduction loss and inductance, and the large-area RTD can be used even at high frequency in this oscillator, but can also emit a high output power. A high-power THz oscillation of ~11 mW at around 1 THz is theoretically expected. However, planar slot antennas have been mainly used in conventional monolithic integrated RTD THz oscillators and the development of a fabrication process of the three-dimensional cavity resonator on a semiconductor substrate is required. In this work, we developed and established the fabrication process of the oscillator with cavity resonator using a tri-layer resist process (ZEP/PMGI/PMMA).
Synergism from combined immunologic and pharmacologic inhibition of HER2 <i>in vivo</i> (2009)

The monoclonal antibody trastuzumab and the EGFR/HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor lapatinib improve the clinical outcome of patients with HER2-overexpressing breast cancer. However, the majority of metastatic cancers will eventually progress, suggesting the need for other therapies. Because HER2 overexpression persists, we hypothesized that the anti-HER2 immune response induced by cancer vaccines would be an effective strategy for treating trastuzumab- and lapatinib-refractory tumors. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the antibody response could synergize with lapatinib to enhance tumor inhibition. We developed a recombinant adenoviral vector expressing a kinase-inactive HER2 (Ad-HER2-ki) to use as a cancer vaccine. Vaccine-induced polyclonal HER2-specific antiserum was analyzed for receptor internalization and signaling effects alone and in combination with lapatinib. Ad-HER2-ki vaccine-induced potent T cell and antibody responses in mice and the vaccine-induced polyclonal HER2-specific antiserum mediated receptor internalization and degradation much more effectively than trastuzumab. Our in vitro studies demonstrated that HER2 vaccine-induced antibodies effectively caused a decrease in HER2 expression, but when combined with lapatinib caused significant inhibition of HER2 signaling, decreased pERK and pAKT levels and reduced breast tumor cell proliferation. In addition, a known mechanism of resistance to lapatinib, induction of survivin, was inhibited. The combination of Ad-HER2-ki plus lapatinib also showed superior antitumor efficacy in vivo. Based on these results, we feel clinical studies using this approach to target HER2-overexpressing breast cancer, including trastuzumab- and lapatinib-resistant tumors is warranted.
