Successful Clinical Use of an Anti-HLA-DR Monoclonal Antibody for Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation (1988)

It has been widely assumed that anti-HLA-DR antibodies react with pluripotent stem cells and cannot be used in bone marrow purging. We report a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in which an anti-HLA-DR antibody (AB4) was used for immunomagnetic purging and the subsequent autologous bone marrow transplantation resulted in rapid marrow engraftment with no serious complications. The results indicate that the AB4 antibody, which binds to an antigen encoded by the B3 gene of the DR region, can be safely used in the clinic in the purging of bone marrow from patients with AB4-positive tumors (non-T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and some cases of acute myelogenous leukemia.
RGBZ Image Restoration by Patch Clone (2013)

The RGBZ sensor is a novel imaging sensor that captures both color and depth images simultaneously in a single chip, with a specially designed color-filter-array (CFA), in which some of the RGB color pixels are replaced by &#x201C;Z&#x201D; pixels that capture depth information but no color information. As a result, RGB color images produced by this pixel array appear degraded, with missing RGB values or &#x201C;holes&#x201D; at locations occupied by the Z pixels. To fill in these &#x201C;holes&#x201D;, and thus restore resolution and appearance of color images, we propose a Patch-Clone method that exploits redundant texture information in the scene. Derived from the non-local approaches, our method consists of two steps: 1) a matching step to identify the candidate patch that contains the most useful information to reconstruct the color pixels missing at a particular hole; 2) a cloning step to copy the content from the candidate to fill in the hole. When higher order pixel content is copied, pixel continuity between the restored and original pixels can be enforced. The result of the proposed method is full resolution Bayer images, to which existing common demosaic algorithms can be applied. Tests show that the proposed method provides better reconstruction result in term of distortion error as well as visual appearance.

A Sensitive Bioassay for a Standard of Recombinant Interleukin-1α (1993)

Abstract A sensitive bioassay for recombinant interleukin-1α (rIL-1α) has been developed. The assay is based on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by fibroblasts following stimulation with rIL-1α. The stimulated PGE2 levels are determined by radioimmunoassay. Three human fibroblast cell lines, WI38, HEL299 and HS68, were evaluated. The HS68 cells gave the most sensitive and reproducible response. The results from six experiments established that 400 ± 300 femtograms of rIL-1α stimulated a two-fold increase in PGE2 concentration over the background level.
Low-Temperature Emitter Passivation for Solar Cells Bonded to Glass (2013)

In imec's i2Module concept, rear-contacted solar cells are fabricated after bonding monocrystalline silicon foils to module glass. The specific structure of the substrate after bonding imposes a temperature budget limitation of 300°C. This presents a challenge to device integration, amongst others for emitter passivation. It is shown that state-of-the-art emitter passivation by thermal oxide can be degraded by plasma processes and metal sputtering. Hydrogenated amorphous silicon presents an alternative that is compatible with low process temperatures and is not affected by subsequent processing. J0 values of approximately 50fA/cm2 have been obtained, both on freestanding wafers and on bonded thin silicon foils.
Cryogel-Integrated Biochip for Liver Tissue Engineering (2021)

Microfluidic systems and polymer hydrogels have been widely developed for tissue engineering. Yet, only a few tools combining both approaches, especially for <i>in vitro</i> liver models, are being explored. In this study, an alginate-based cryogel-integrated biochip was engineered for dynamic hepatoma cell line culture in three dimensions (3D). The alginate cryogel was covalently cross-linked in the biochip at subzero temperatures (<i>T</i> < 0 °C) to create a scaffold with high mechanical stability and an interconnected macroporous network. By varying the alginate concentration and the cross-linker ratio, Young's modulus of the cryogel can be fine-tuned between 1.5 and 29 kPa, corresponding to the range of stiffness of the different physiological states of the liver. We demonstrated that HepG2/C3A cells can be cultured and maintained as viable under dynamic conditions in this device up to 6 days. Albumin synthesis and glucose consumption increased over the cell culture days. Moreover, a 3D cell structure was observed across the entire height of the biochip, which was preserved following alginate lyase treatment to remove the cryogel-based scaffold. In summary, these results represent a proof of concept of an interesting cell culture technology that should be further investigated to engineer healthy and cirrhotic liver models.
Acoustic time reversal with mode conversion at a solid-fluid interface (1998)

Acoustic time-reversal experiments are mostly carried out in fluid media. This letter presents experiments proving the capability of a time-reversal mirror to obtain simultaneous focusing of both propagation modes inside a solid. The mirror is located in a surrounding fluid and records the longitudinal and transverse wavefronts (created by a laser impact on the solid) after conversion into pressure waves at the solid-fluid interface. We show that the time-reversed pressure wavefronts are reconverted mostly to their original propagation mode and focus simultaneously at the location of the laser impact.
Dipole-Induced Rectification Across AgTS/SAM//Ga2O3/EGaIn Junctions (2019)

This Article describes the relationship between molecular structure, and the rectification of tunneling current, in tunneling junctions based on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Molecular dipoles from simple organic functional groups (amide, urea, and thiourea) were introduced into junctions with the structure Ag<sup>TS</sup>/S(CH<sub>2</sub>) <sub>n</sub>R(CH<sub>2</sub>) <sub>m</sub>CH<sub>3</sub>//Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>/EGaIn. Here, R is an n-alkyl fragment (-CH<sub>2</sub>-)<sub>2 or 3</sub>, an amide group (either -CONH- or -NHCO-), a urea group (-NHCONH-), or a thiourea group (-NHCSNH-). The amide, urea, or thiourea groups introduce a localized electric dipole moment into the SAM and change the polarizability of that section of the SAM, but do not produce large, electronically delocalized groups or change other aspects of the tunneling barrier. This local change in electronic properties correlates with a statistically significant, but not large, rectification of current ( r<sup>+</sup>) at ±1.0 V (up to r<sup>+</sup> ≈ 20). The results of this work demonstrate that the simplest form of rectification of current at ±1.0 V, in EGaIn junctions, is an interfacial effect, and is caused by a change in the work function of the SAM-modified silver electrode due to the proximity of the dipole associated with the amide (or related) group, and not to a change in the width or mean height of the tunneling barrier.
InP MISFET Technology: Interface Considerations (1987)

The development of a high‐speed MISFET technology depends critically upon obtaining high quality MIS gate interfaces. In this paper, specific interface requirements are summarized, techniques for passivation are reviewed, a critical assessment is made of drain current drift models, and the importance of interface transport and device parasitics as primary impediments to the development of an MISFET technology are emphasized.
A high efficiency 3D planar microlens for monolithic optical interconnection system (2005)

A new 3D planar microlens for efficient monolithic optical interconnection system was developed. The fabricated 3D planar microlens showed excellent focusing characteristics and fiber-to-fiber coupling efficiency compared with a conventional 2D planar microlens.
H2O: An Autonomic, Resource-Aware Distributed Database System (2010)

This paper presents the design of an autonomic, resource-aware distributed database which enables data to be backed up and shared without complex manual administration. The database, H2O, is designed to make use of unused resources on workstation machines. Creating and maintaining highly-available, replicated database systems can be difficult for untrained users, and costly for IT departments. H2O reduces the need for manual administration by autonomically replicating data and load-balancing across machines in an enterprise. Provisioning hardware to run a database system can be unnecessarily costly as most organizations already possess large quantities of idle resources in workstation machines. H2O is designed to utilize this unused capacity by using resource availability information to place data and plan queries over workstation machines that are already being used for other tasks. This paper discusses the requirements for such a system and presents the design and implementation of H2O.
Defectivity and CD uniformity improvement in resist coating and developing process in EUV lithography process (2017)

Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) technology is getting closer to high volume manufacturing phase every year. In order to enhance the yield of EUV lithography processing, further improvement of defectivity and CD uniformity is required at the moment. In our previous report in 2017, we have exhibited the defectivity reduction by applying our new rinse and dispense system to a 24nm contact hole (CH) pattern. On the basis of the knowledge received through that evaluation, further study for improvement of the defectivity has been investigated in this paper. As a result of further optimization of the rinse process, 83 % further reduction of residue defect from the result reported previously is achieved. Also, CD uniformity control is a very crucial factor towards EUVL manufacturing phase. We have exposed 15 wafer batches continuously for both line/space and contact hole patterns in order to confirm the current status of wafer to wafer (WTW) as well as field to field (FTF), die to die (DTD), and local uniformity. Now further work for improving CD stability is ongoing based on the results from this first trial.
Ultra-narrowband HTS filter with 2.5-wavelength hairpin resonators in 7 GHz band (2006)

We have developed an ultranarrowband high-temperature superconducting (HTS) filter with a fractional bandwidth of 0.14% in the 7 GHz band. To realize a filter with which a narrow bandwidth and low insertion loss are compatible, resonators with high unloaded Q (Qu) value are required. Hairpin microstrip resonators with 2.5 times wavelength were adopted to suppress the radiation loss and realize a high Qu value. With both the hairpin resonators and transmission zeros supplied by an 8-pole quasi-elliptic function filter construction, designed filter properties were realized. Next-generation RF applications are expected to be realized by applying these filters.
Design of a multi GBPS Single Carrier digital baseband for 60GHz applications and its FPGA implementation (2013)

This paper describes the system architecture, design methodology and subsequent FPGA mapping of a millimeter wave digital baseband for wireless communication in the 60GHz spectral band. The baseband is designed to be compliant with the 802.11ad Single Carrier and Control PHY draft specifications and supports a data rate of 2.5Gbps at the physical layer. The demanding throughput and latency requirements are achieved with a parallel implementation. However, due to limited capacity of the FPGAs present in our prototype platform and complex partitioning requirements, only a scaled down version of the full single carrier baseband that operates at 1/10th the throughput of the specification could be mapped. A minimal real-time hardware MAC was also incorporated and coupled with a 60GHz RF beam-forming front-end to demonstrate file transfer between two independent FPGA prototyping systems. A system throughput of 59Mbps was achieved at the application layer using π/2 QPSK modulation with a 13/16 LDPC code rate.
A Distributed Mode Selection Scheme for Full-Duplex Device-to-Device Communication (2019)

Networks with device-to-device (D2D) technology allow for two possible communication modes: traditional communication via the base station, and direct communication between the users. Recent studies show that in-band full-duplex (IBFD) operations can be advantageously combined with D2D communication to improve the spectral efficiency. However, no algorithms for selecting the communication mode of mobile users in IBFD networks have yet appeared in the literature. In this paper, we design a distributed mode selection scheme for users in D2D-enabled IBFD networks. The proposed scheme maximizes the users' probability of successful communication by leveraging only existing signaling mechanisms.
Fabrication and optical studies of monolayer assemblies of Au nanoparticles. (2004)

Two-dimensional nanoparticle self-assemblies provide a means of tuning the optical properties by manipulation of the fabrication parameters, thereby controlling the light-matter interaction. We report fabrication of self-assembled monolayers of colloidal gold nanoparticles on organosilane-coated substrates and a study of the linear and nonlinear optical properties. With increase in particle coverage of the gold monolayer self assemblies, an additional band in the absorption spectrum due to the collective particle surface plasmon resonance could be seen. The intensity and lambda(max) of this feature depends on the interparticle spacing and particle aggregation. Z-scan measurements show a saturable absorption behavior and a negative nonlinear refractive index of the monolayer films. A strong correlation between particle density and the linear and nonlinear optical properties is established.
An Assessment of Herpesvirus Co-infections in Patients with CMV Disease: Correlation with Clinical and Virologic Outcomes (2008)

The effect of herpesvirus co-infections (HHV-6, HHV-7) on cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease and its response to therapy is unknown. We prospectively analyzed herpesvirus co-infections in transplant recipients with CMV disease. All patients received 3 weeks of antiviral therapy. Samples were collected at baseline (day 0) and then day 3, 7, 14 and 21 poststart of therapy. Viral load testing for CMV, HHV-6 and HHV-7 was done using quantitative PCR assays in 302 patients of whom 256 had documented symptomatic CMV viremia. In this subset, day 0 HHV-6 co-infection was present in 23/253 (9.1%) and HHV-7 in 17/253 (6.7%). Including those positive at any time point raised the prevalence to 79/256 (30.9%) for HHV-6 and 75/256 (29.3%) for HHV-7. Viral co-infection did not influence the response of CMV disease to antiviral therapy. Baseline CMV viral loads, time to eradication and risk of recurrence were similar in patients with and without HHV-6 or HHV-7 co-infection. Ganciclovir and valganciclovir had no clear effect on HHV-6 and HHV-7 viremia. In conclusion, herpesvirus co-infections are common in patients with CMV disease but with standard antiviral therapy, no clear clinical effects are discernable. Routine monitor ing for viral co-infection in patients with CMV disease is not indicated.

Rare earth doped mesoporous hybrid thin films with tunable optical responses (2007)

Optical quality mesostructured silica thin films functionalized with three large hydrophobic organosilylated quinizarin derivatives are prepared via evaporation induced self-assembly (EISA). Incorporation of Eu3+ is performed by post-reacting the functionalized layers with several europium precursors. Unambiguous location of the quinizarin moieties inside the porosity and their accessibility to Eu3+ ions are demonstrated using XRD, SAXS and fluorescence measurements. Complexation of Eu3+ reduces the fluorescence of quinizarin; for some europium precursors an energy transfer between the grafted organic dye and the lanthanide is clearly observed. The luminescence intensity of Eu3+ can be tuned by varying the nature of the rare earth precursor, the mesophase and the chelate itself. The resulting optical responses differ with respect to concentration, lifetime and local environment of Eu3+ inside the thin films. Additionally, efficient energy transfer from Tb3+ to Eu3+ and electronic coupling probed by EPR between Cu2+ cations trapped in such mesoporous hybrid films give strong evidence of the presence of several metal ions per pore.
Non-destructive and Rapid Evaluation of CVD Graphene by Dark Field Optical Microscopy (2013)

Non-destructive and rapid evaluation of graphene directly on the growth substrate (Cu foils) by dark field (DF) optical microscopy is demonstrated. Without any additional treatment, graphene on Cu foils with various coverages can be quickly identified by DF imaging immediately after chemical vapor deposition growth with contrast comparable to scanning electron microscopy. The improved contrast of DF imaging compared to bright field optical imaging was found to be due to Rayleigh scattering of light by the copper steps beneath graphene. Indeed, graphene adlayers are readily distinguished, due to the different height of copper steps beneath graphene regions of different thickness.
Equations for normal-mode statistics of sound scattering by a rough elastic boundary in an underwater waveguide, including backscattering (2017)

Underwater sound scattering by a rough sea surface, ice, or a rough elastic bottom is studied. The study includes both the scattering from the rough boundary and the elastic effects in the solid layer. A coupled mode matrix is approximated by a linear function of one random perturbation parameter such as the ice-thickness or a perturbation of the surface position. A full two-way coupled mode solution is used to derive the stochastic differential equation for the second order statistics in a Markov approximation.
A 1-4 Gbps quad transceiver cell using PLL with gate-current leakage compensator in 90nm CMOS (2004)

A quad transceiver cell is designed and implemented in 90nm CMOS technology with a 1V nominal supply. To minimize area and power consumption, the cell uses a single dual-loop PLL. Gate-current leakage compensator is used to mitigate gate-current leakage in the PLL loop-filter capacitor. The quad cell consumes 73mW/link at 3.125Gbps with 500mV output swing driving double-terminated links and achieves a peak-to-peak transmit jitter of 42ps at 4Gbps data rate.
