Abstract:
Cell identification systems and methods using micropallet arrays are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a cell identification strategy involves detecting the expression patterns of markers that are expressed on cells to uniquely identify different cell populations within heterogeneous mixtures of cells. The cell markers may be on the cell surface or intracellular in location. The cell markers are interrogated using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that are directly conjugated to flourophores. The mAb-flourophore conjugates are used to detect the presence or absence and relative level of expression of each of the cell markers using laser scanning confocal microscopy.
Abstract:
Non-intrusive monitoring and workflow assessment to optimize manufacturing environments are described herein. The systems and method combines computer vision and energy load disaggregation to track worker activity and equipment usage and status. These events are then correlated to optimize workflows and energy efficiency.
Abstract:
Micro-electromagnetically actuated latched miniature relay switches formed from laminate layers comprising a spring and magnet, electromagnetic coils, magnetic latching material, and transmission line with contacts. Preferably the miniature relay switches transmit up to about 50 W of DC or AC line power, and carry up to about 10 A of load current, with an overall volume of less than about 100 mm3. In addition to switching large power, the device preferably requires less than 3 V to actuate, and has a latching feature that retains the switch state after actuation without the need for external applied voltage or current.
Abstract:
An electronic substrate or interposer comprising nanoporous films, such as anodic aluminum oxide, containing vertically etched openings (“vias”) that are filled with a conductive material, forming a high density collection of vertically oriented vias that conduct electricity from one side of the substrate to the other.
