Volumetric Additive Manufacturing allows for the rapid printing of objects by transmitting images into a reservoir holding resin, using wavelengths of light assocaited with a photocuring characteristic of the resin. Feedback based control can be enabled through the use of optical scattering tomography based imaging of the object during the printing process. Through capturing a set of images representing the scattering of a non-curing light, an isosurface representing the object during printing can be generated. The differences between the isosurface and the expected shape of the object can be used as an input into a control process or they can be displayed to an operator so that printing can be terminated when the printing of the object is complete.

A system and method are provided for optical beamforming and interferometry using digital source modulation. In one aspect, a digitally-modulated calibration signal is included in the optical target source, for use by receiving mirrors and equipment to continuously lock onto, track, and remove atmospheric and instrumental temporal distortion effects. By using this digitally-modulated calibration signal throughout the optical signal chain any variations that both it and the science/payload signal undergo can be removed, leading to lower cost optical mirrors and optical interferometers, as well as allowing for larger optical apertures
A structure for laying out electrically conductive paths over a substrate provides both AC and DC structures that can be used to improve the performance of existing structures. In an AC structure, a microstrip transmission can be reduced to half of a conventional length by having part of the signal path on the top of a substrate, and then the remaining part on the bottom of the substrate. This can be accomplished using vias, but should also be matched by moving the ground path, which is a second electrically conductive path, from the bottom of the substrate to the top so that the signal path is always opposed to a ground path. A similar structure of alternating electrical paths can be used in both solar cells and batteries, where segments of the anode of cathode can be inverted so that they maintain their opposed configuration while inverted.

Abrégé
A microfluidic flow synthesis method for collagen-based microparticles. Macro-porous fibrillar microparticles of pure collagen and composite collagen-GAG were formed, where the particle size and porosity were controlled by the flow synthesis parameters such as precursor flow rates. Using human dermal fibroblasts (hDFB) and umbilical cord derives mesenchymal stem cells (ucMSC), the capacity of the presented collagen and collagen-GAG microparticles to serve as cell culture substrates has been shown, to enable casting of tissues, forming spheroids, and as shear-thinning bioinks for bioprinting. At high packing densities, jammed collagen-based microparticles along with cells constitute a shear-thinning bioink for extrusion bioprinting applications. Bioprinted constructs exhibit a high porosity matrix due to the space between the microparticles, facilitating macromolecular transport, and cell proliferation and migration.

The present invention provides a method and system to correctly sample, at a central location, a signal at a second clock frequency from a remote antenna when the signal is at a first clock frequency. The present invention provides an improved method of incoherent clocking to correctly sample a signal from a remote antenna at a clock frequency of a central location, such as a central site of a radio telescope array. The signal contains a "tracer" which is related to the frequency of the remote antenna. The tracer phase is written into a dual-port memory at the first clock frequency and then read from the memory at the second clock frequency. The tracer phase is transferred across digital clock domains using Gray-doe methods so that phase coding errors do not occur.
Centrifugal microfluidic fractionation is facilitated by off-chip pressurized fluid control applied at ports of a centrifugal microfluidic chip during centrifugation. The off-chip control is leveraged to align a desired fraction of the fractionated sample in a column on the chip to an extraction channel for greater precision extraction.

Automation by pixel-based strobed imaging of the chip with image analysis can reduce human intervention in fractionation assaying.

Abrégé
The present invention refers to methods and compositions for increasing the production of large amounts of empty capsids of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in a stable manner in mammalian cells by regulating the expression of FMDV 3C protease.

The invention provides recombinant plasmids that direct the expression of P1, 3C, and the use of said plasmids for producing new stable cell lines capable of generating high titers of FMDV empty capsids. The invention provides methods for regulating the expression of the FMDV 3C protease gene at a transcriptional and translational level in order to achieve the required process level of 3C protease for the selection process, as well as the production process.

H01S 5/02255 - Découplage de lumière utilisant des éléments de déviation de faisceaux lumineux
An antenna device for performing off-chip light coupling comprising an array of radiating elements whose thickness is larger than λ/2, the radiating elements being chosen such that the length of the array is smaller than 10 λ, where λ is the wavelength of light in the material chosen for the radiating elements. An advantage of this method is that, unlike in conventional waveguide grating antenna, by reducing the number of the radiating elements in the array, the dependence of the off-chip emission angle on the wavelength of light can be greatly reduced. Another advantage is that by using thick radiating elements the antenna efficiency can be greatly enhanced, thereby compensating for the reduced efficiency occurring as a consequence of using only a small number of radiating elements in the array.

A method of monitoring both liner wear and charge impact in an industrial mill uses a sensor mounted on an elongated element deployed through a shell into a liner of the mill. The elongated element wears at a same rate as the liner under conditions within the shell. Liner wear is related to a reduction in length of the elongated element as measured by travel time of an ultrasound wave, while location and strength of charge impact is related to change in amplitude of vibrations caused by the charge impact. Liner wear measurement can be improved by using shear ultrasound waves instead of conventional longitudinal ultrasound waves. A mill monitoring apparatus has a means for acquiring ultrasonic waves and audible sound waves using the same digitizer; a means for determining the angular position of the monitoring apparatus; and a means for supplying electric power to the apparatus.
