    摘要: Inorganic semiconducting materials such as silicon are used as a host matrix in which quantum dots reside to provide a radiation detector or energy converter. The quantum dot material may be disposed by incorporating materials sensitive to neutron detection such as boron-containing compounds, or the use of methods such as chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition to insert the quantum dot material. Electrodes may be extended deep into the host matrix material to improve efficiency. Likewise, the host matrix may be machined to create pores in the matrix material. Further, amplification and signal-processing structures may be used in close proximity to the radiation-sensitive region of the device.

    摘要: Magnetic gradients are used to transport Magnetic Nano Particles through a barrier, for example, the cribiform (also spelled “cribriform”) plate, which is a porous bony structure which separates the nasal cavity from the cranial vault. By utilizing a configuration of magnets (whether of the electromagnetic type or permanent magnets), MNPs can be propelled, pushed, pulled or otherwise manipulated in relation to an anatomical and/or physiological barrier, to position, re-position or maintain the position(s) of the MNPs.

    摘要: An electromagnetic structure is fabricated by additive manufacturing having at least one channel traversing the structure. In one embodiment, at least one form contains apertures and/or holes forming the channel and a liquid metal traverses the structure by the channel. Electrodes are provided to apply or extract electrical voltage or power to and/or from the liquid metal as well as a mechanism for propelling a portion of the liquid metal through the form. In an alternative embodiment, both the electrically insulating and the electrically conductive materials are solid and the channel is used for conducting a coolant instead of the liquid metal.
