Advanced display systems technologies (2013)

This paper presents future display systems, such as, bendable flexible display with plasma technologies and a spatial light modulator driven by spin polarized current (Spin-SLM) for 3D holography TV. As a flexible display, a Luminous Array Film (LAFi) with the plasma tube is the world first film type display that realizes a bendable super large area emissive display. Using LAFi, several unique display applications with life size image and a curved display are realized. For holography application, we designed and fabricated ten-pixel array Spin-SLM with a fine pitch of 1 μm, that enables the large viewing-zone-angle of reproduced images, which no conventional SLMs can achieve. Although the number of pixel is not sufficient for reproducing holography images, diffracted light from the SLM was modulated by applying magnetic field. In summary, we have verified that Spin-SLM technology can potentially display holographic images with wide viewing-zone angles.
Self-consistent projection operator theory in nonlinear quantum optical systems: A case study on degenerate optical parametric oscillators (2015)

Nonlinear quantum optical systems are of paramount relevance for modern quantum technologies, as well as for the study of dissipative phase transitions. Their nonlinear nature makes their theoretical study very challenging and hence they have always served as great motivation to develop new techniques for the analysis of open quantum systems. We apply the recently developed self-consistent projection operator theory to the degenerate optical parametric oscillator to exemplify its general applicability to quantum optical systems. We show that this theory provides an efficient method to calculate the full quantum state of each mode with a high degree of accuracy, even at the critical point. It is equally successful in describing both the stationary limit and the dynamics, including regions of the parameter space where the numerical integration of the full problem is significantly less efficient. We further develop a Gaussian approach consistent with our theory, which yields sensibly better results than the previous Gaussian methods developed for this system, most notably standard linearization techniques.
Thermo-optical Compensation In High-index-contrast Waveguides Using Polymer Claddings (2008)

We present the design and fabrication of temperature-insensitive high-index-contrast waveguides using acrylate polymer claddings. The large negative thermo-optic coefficient of the polymers effectively compensates the intrinsic positive thermo-optic effects induced from the waveguide core.
Wafer-Level Aging of InGaAs/GaAs Nano-Ridge p-i-n Diodes Monolithically Integrated on Silicon (2022)

For the first time, a reliability study on degradation of InGaAs/GaAs nano-ridge p-i-n diodes monolithically integrated on Si by nano-ridge engineering (NRE) is reported. Wafer-level constant current stress in forward bias shows a gradual power law aging of both forward and dark current. Current crowding and Joule heating near the p-contact are responsible for the degradation in forward bias region. Indications of defect formation and Ti diffusion at the metal/GaAs interface are witnessed. The electrical stress-induced leakage current builds up at reverse bias region, pointing to the degradation of crystal quality. A sintering process lowers the p-contact resistance and improves electrical stability. The high aspect-ratio of the trenches leads to effective threading dislocation trapping: no dislocations have been observed to penetrate the active region during the 5000s stress time. This early work sheds light on realizing electrically robust GaAs diodes on Si and reliable monolithic lasers.
Analytical Ion Thruster Discharge Performance Model (2007)

*† ‡ A particle and energy balance model of the plasma discharge in magnetic ring-cusp ion thrusters has been developed. The model follows the original work of Brophy in the development of global 0-D discharge models that utilize conservation of particles into and out of the thruster and conservation of energy into the discharge and out of the plasma in the form of charged particles to the walls and beam and plasma radiation. The present model is significantly expanded over Brophy’s original work by closing the set of equations with selfconsistently calculations of the internal neutral pressure, electron temperature, primary electron density, electrostatic ion confinement (due to the ring-cusp fields), plasma potential, discharge stability, and time dependent behavior during recycling. The model only requires information on the thruster geometry, ion optics performance and electrical inputs such as discharge voltage and currents, etc. to produce accurate performance curves of discharge loss versus mass utilization efficiency. The model has been benchmarked against NSTAR and NEXIS thrusters, and successfully predicts the thruster discharge loss as a function of mass utilization efficiency for a variety of thrusters. The discharge performance model will be described and results showing ion thruster performance and stability presented.

Optical and dielectric characterisations of magnetic nanoparticles in suspension (2011)

In this paper, we present the dielectric and optical spectroscopic studies of magnetic nanoparticles in suspension. The study reveals additional information needed for a proper assessment of electromagnetic field interaction with nanoparticles in aqueous suspension. It also suggests that these nanoparticles could be considered as contrast agents in biomedicine imaging.
Optimal bus capacitance design for system stability in on-board distributed power architecture (2008)

Recently, the distributed power system is mainly used for the power supply system which requires the low-voltage / high-current output. The distributed power system consists of bus converter and POL. The most important factor is the system stability in bus architecture design. The overlap between the output impedance of bus converter and input impedance of POL causes system instability, and it has been an actual problem. Increasing the bus capacitor, system stability can be reduced easily. However, due to the limited space on the system board, increasing of bus capacitors is impractical. The urgent solution of the issue is desired strongly. This paper presents the output impedance design for on-board distributed power system by means of three control schemes of bus converter. The output impedance peak of the bus converter and the input impedance of the POL are analyzed, and it is conformed by experimentally for stability criterion. Furthermore, the optimal intermediate bus capacitance design for system stability is proposed.
Deoxyribonucleic acid binding studies on several new anthracycline antitumor antibiotics. Sequence preference and structure-activity relationships of marcellomycin and its analogs as compared to adriamycin (1979)

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) binding characteristics of adriamycin and several new anthracycline glycosides, including marcellomycin, aclacinomycin, rudolfomycin, musettamycin, and pyrromycin, have been studied. The fluorescence spectra were determined for all six anthracyclines, and the fluorescence quenching effects caused by interactions with the natural DNAs poly(dAdT)--poly(dAdT) and poly(dGdC) were characterized. Binding parameters were determined by Scatchard analyses of results obtained by spectrofluorometric titrations of anthracyclines with DNA. Consistent with earlier structure--activity relationship studies of nucleic acid synthesis inhibitory effects, the results demonstrate a correlation between the length of the glycosidic side chain and DNA binding affinity. In addition, the sugar residue 2-deoxyfucose appears to confer greater DNA binding ability than do the sugars rednosamine and cinerulose when present in the terminal position of the glycosidic side chain, also in agreement with earlier studies. The sequence preference of anthracycline--DNA interaction has been examined by using DNAs of varying GC content, including the naturally occurring calf thymus DNA (43% GC), Clostridium perfringens DNA (28% GC), and Micrococcus luteus DNA (72% GC) and the synthetic double-stranded copolymers poly(dGdC)--poly(dGdC) and poly(dAdT)--POLY(DAdT). The results demonstrate that although adriamycin shows an absolute requirement for GC sequences for DNA binding, marcellomycin and its analogues showed no such sequence requirement. Furthermore, an AT preference for DNA binding was demonstrated with marcellomycin and its analogues.

Modeling and design of an ultra-miniaturized WLAN sub-system with chip-last embedded PA and digital dies (2012)

System integration by die-embedding within electronic packages offers significant advantages in miniaturization, cost and performance for mobile devices. This paper presents the functional design and analysis of ultra-thin packages that combine embedded actives (GaAs Power Amplifier and a baseband digital IC) with embedded passives (band-pass filters), leading to an ultra-miniaturized WLAN sub-system. This chip-last design routes embedded dies in the outer build-up layer, using Embedded MEMS Actives and Passives (EMAP) technology being developed in the Georgia Tech PRC's industry consortium, as an alternative, lower cost approach over current chip-first and chip-middle methods. Electromagnetic (EM) simulations were performed in order to tune the electrical performance of interconnections based on die specifications and package configuration. The digital package was designed with multiple power-ground pair islands to enhance noise isolation, while improving overall signal and power integrity. The embedded module designs for RF transmitter and the baseband IC measure at 2.8mm × 3.2mm × 0.25mm and 10mm × 10mm × 0.25mm respectively, achieving over 4.5× volume reduction compared to existing wire-bond packages.
Conformational Analysis of Chirally Deuterated Tunicamycin as an Active Site Probe of UDP-N-Acetylhexosamine:Polyprenol-P N-Acetylhexosamine-1-P Translocases (2004)

Tunicamycins are potent inhibitors of UDP-N-acetyl-D-hexosamine:polyprenol-phosphate N-acetylhexosamine-1-phosphate translocases (D-HexNAc-1-P translocases), a family of enzymes involved in bacterial cell wall synthesis and eukaryotic protein N-glycosylation. Structurally, tunicamycins consist of an 11-carbon dialdose core sugar called tunicamine that is N-linked at C-1' to uracil and O-linked at C-11' to N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). The C-11' O-glycosidic linkage is highly unusual because it forms an alpha/beta anomeric-to-anomeric linkage to the 1-position of the GlcNAc residue. We have assigned the (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of tunicamycin and have undertaken a conformational analysis from rotating angle nuclear Overhauser effect (ROESY) data. In addition, chirally deuterated tunicamycins produced by fermentation of Streptomyces chartreusis on chemically synthesized, monodeuterated (S-6)-[(2)H(1)]glucose have been used to assign the geminal H-6'a, H-6'b methylene bridge of the 11-carbon dialdose sugar, tunicamine. The tunicamine residue is shown to assume pseudo-D-ribofuranose and (4)C(1) pseudo-D-galactopyranosaminyl ring conformers. Conformation about the C-6' methylene bridge determines the relative orientation of these rings. The model predicts that tunicamycin forms a right-handed cupped structure, with the potential for divalent metal ion coordination at 5'-OH, 8'-OH, and the pseudogalactopyranosyl 7'-O ring oxygen. The formation of tunicamycin complexes with various divalent metal ions was confirmed experimentally by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Our data support the hypothesis that tunicamycin is a structural analogue of the UDP-D-HexNAc substrate and is reversibly coordinated to the divalent metal cofactor in the D-HexNAc-1-P translocase active site.

Latrunculin with a Highly Oxidized Thiazolidinone Ring:  Structure Assignment and Actin Docking (2007)

A new latrunculin, oxalatrunculin B (3), was isolated from Red Sea sponge Negombata corticata. Extensive spectroscopic analysis revealed an unprecedented heterocycle in which the rare thiazolidinone ring found in latrunculins was oxidized with three additional oxygens. An actin polymerization inhibition assay agreed with MM-PBSA free energy calculations that 3 binds more weakly than latrunculin B to actin. Significant antifungal and anticancer activity of 3 was found, suggesting an alternate target in addition to actin for latrunculin bioactivity.
Mapping of the basal forebrain cholinergic system of the dog: A choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemical study (1996)

In an effort to produce a canine model of basal forebrain ischemia with memory deficits, we have shown that dogs possess a medial striate artery that perfuses basal forebrain territory, homologous to the human recurrent artery of Heubner. In the present study, we set out to delineate the precise topography of the cholinergic neurons in the canine forebrain, a neuronal system implicated in cognitive and memory functions. Floating coronal sections, derived from the head of the caudate nucleus to the rostral border of the hippocampus, were stained for choline acetyltransferase using a monoclonal antibody. Representative sections from one dog brain were drawn. These outlines were used for measurement of cell density, cell size, number of processes, and cell roundness. Choline acetyltransferase-positive neurons constituted four major subdivisions within the basal forebrain. A relatively dense population of cholinergic neurons was present in the medial septal nucleus (Ch1). A continuum of densely packed cells was also delineated within the vertical (Ch2) and horizontal (Ch3) nuclei of the diagonal band of Broca. A fourth group of heterogeneously packed cholinergic neurons represented the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (Ch4). Except for the caudal component of the Ch4 population, the forebrain cholinergic corticopetal system was located within the perfusion territory of the medial striate arteries. The Ch4 cell group in dogs is better defined than that of rodents but is not as sharply demarcated as in human and nonhuman primates. Our findings indicate that the dog may serve as an excellent model for assessing neurological and memory deficits, which, in humans, results from hypoperfusion of the recurrent artery of Heubner.
Data from A Cancer Research UK First Time in Human Phase I Trial of IMA950 (Novel Multipeptide Therapeutic Vaccine) in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma (2023)

&lt;div&gt;Abstract&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Purpose:&lt;/b&gt; To perform a two-cohort, phase I safety and immunogenicity study of IMA950 in addition to standard chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. IMA950 is a novel glioblastoma-specific therapeutic vaccine containing 11 tumor-associated peptides (TUMAP), identified on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) surface receptors in primary human glioblastoma tissue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Experimental Design:&lt;/b&gt; Patients were HLA-A*02–positive and had undergone tumor resection. Vaccination comprised 11 intradermal injections with IMA950 plus granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) over a 24-week period, beginning 7 to 14 days prior to initiation of chemoradiotherapy (Cohort 1) or 7 days after chemoradiotherapy (Cohort 2). Safety was assessed according to NCI CTCAE Version 4.0 and TUMAP-specific T-cell immune responses determined. Secondary observations included progression-free survival (PFS), pretreatment regulatory T cell (T&lt;sub&gt;reg&lt;/sub&gt;) levels, and the effect of steroids on T-cell responses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; Forty-five patients were recruited. Related adverse events included minor injection site reactions, rash, pruritus, fatigue, neutropenia and single cases of allergic reaction, anemia and anaphylaxis. Two patients experienced grade 3 dose-limiting toxicity of fatigue and anaphylaxis. Of 40 evaluable patients, 36 were TUMAP responders and 20 were multi-TUMAP responders, with no important differences between cohorts. No effect of pretreatment Treg levels on IMA950 immunogenicity was observed, and steroids did not affect TUMAP responses. PFS rates were 74% at 6 months and 31% at 9 months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/b&gt; IMA950 plus GM-CSF was well-tolerated with the primary immunogenicity endpoint of observing multi-TUMAP responses in at least 30% of patients exceeded. Further development of IMA950 is encouraged. &lt;i&gt;Clin Cancer Res; 22(19); 4776–85. ©2016 AACR&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;See related commentary by Lowenstein and Castro, p. 4760&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
<title>Photolithography using the AERIAL illuminator in a variable-NA wafer stepper</title> (1996)

This paper shows the suitabilily of i-line photolithography for production at 0.30 tm. The process performance is demonstrated through the use of off-axis illumination, high NA projection lens, and a state of the art photoresist system. The minimum required depth of focus for a suitable 0.30 tm process is derived as 0.95 tm over at least a 10% process window. This will result in a 0.60 m common corridor over a square 22 mm imaging feId. In addition to the dense and isolated lines, a preliminary investigation of contact hole performance using chrome and phase shift masks was completed.
Shape from periodic texture using the spectrogram (2003)

It is shown how local spatial image frequency is related to the surface normal of a textured surface. It is found that the Fourier power spectra of any two similarly textured patches on a plane are approximately related to each other by an affine transformation. The transformation parameters are a function of the plane's surface normal. This relationship is used as the basis of an algorithm for finding surface normals of textured shapes using the spectrogram, which is one type of local spatial frequency representation. The relationship is validated by testing the algorithm on real textures. By analyzing shape and texture in terms of the local spatial frequency representation, the advantages of the representation for the shape-from-texture problem can be exploited. Specifically, the algorithm requires no feature detection and can give correct results even when the texture is aliased.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
Vibration-insensitive fiber-optic current sensor (1993)

The measurement of the electric current with an optical fiber sensor can be made insensitive to external vibrations that act on the leading fiber by using a circuit involving a mirrored Faraday rotator and a highly twisted low-birefringence fiber. A description of the optical configuration as well as our first experimental results are presented. The circuit gives a passive compensation of the disturbances with a measured rejection of the order of 30 dB while maintaining the correct sensitivity to the measurement of the Faraday effect.
On the water lapping of felines and the water running of lizards (2011)

We consider two biological phenomena taking place at the air-water interface: the water lapping of felines and the water running of lizards. Although seemingly disparate motions, we show that they are intimately linked by their underlying hydrodynamics and belong to a broader class of processes called Froude mechanisms. We describe how both felines and lizards exploit inertia to defeat gravity, and discuss water lapping and water running in the broader context of water exit and water entry, respectively.
