Abstract:
An enclosure design is disclosed to accommodate and support the unique features and capabilities of the Smart and Scalable Power Inverters or Mini-Inverters that have multiple input channels to easily connect to multiple solar PV panels, invert the DC power to AC power, and daisy chain together to generate AC power to feed the power grid or supply power to electrical devices. Further disclosed is a message system using LEDs (light-emitting diodes) mounted on the enclosure to indicate the system status and the status of each input channel of the Smart and Scalable Mini-Inverters.
Abstract:
A dispersible nanocomposite comprising nanotubes associated with nanoplatelets. A method for creating an exfoliated nanotubes solution, aligning nanotubes and depositing them on a substrate or in matrix. In one embodiment, the method includes a nanocomposite of at least one nanotube electrostatically associated with at least one nanoplatelet. The nanoplatelets may be removed from the suspension by altering the ionic strength to create an exfoliated nanotube solution. The exfoliated nanotube solution for injection into microchannel templates and aligned deposition.

Abstract:
The complete polynucleotide sequence of the human respiratory syncytial virus subgroup B strain 9320 genome is provided. Proteins encoded by this polynucleotide sequence are also provided. Isolated or recombinant RSV (e.g., attenuated recombinant RSV), nucleic acids, and polypeptides, e.g., comprising mutations in the attachment protein G, are also provided, as are immunogenic compositions comprising such isolated or recombinant RSV, nucleic acids, and polypeptides. Related methods are also described.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a device including imprinting a mold having a protrusion against a substrate having a resist layer such that the protrusion engages the resist layer. The mold further has a mask member positioned generally adjacent the resist layer. Radiation energy is then transmitted through the mold and into the resist layer; however, the mask member substantially prevents transmission of the radiation energy therethrough, thereby defining an unexposed area in the resist layer. Once the mold is removed from the substrate, which consequently forms a first feature from nanoimprinting, the unexposed area of resist layer is removed through dissolving in a developer solution.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for imprinting a micro-/nano-structure on a substrate, the method comprising (a) providing a mold containing a desired pattern or relief for a microstructure; (b) applying a polymer coating to the mold; and (c) transferring the polymer coating from the mold to a substrate under suitable temperature and pressure conditions to form an imprinted substrate having a desired micro-/nano-structure thereon.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method is disclosed for automatically controlling multi-input-single-output (MISO) systems or processes. The control output signal of a single-input-single-output (SISO) automatic controller is converted by a reverse, sequential or combined split-range setter into a plurality of ranges of signals so that the SISO controller is converted to a single-input-multi-output (SIMO) automatic controller based on certain criteria; and the resulting controller output signals are able to manipulate a plurality of actuators to control one continuous process variable in different operating conditions. Without the need of building process mathematical models, this inventive apparatus and method is useful for automatically controlling unevenly paired multivariable systems or processes where there are more system inputs than outputs including but not limited to pH processes, chemical reactors, and air handling units.
