    Abstract: The electron tunneling device (110) includes first and second non-insulating layers (112 and 114) spaced apart such that a given voltage can be provided therebetween. The device also includes an arrangement disposed between the non-insulating layers and configured to serve as a transport of electrons between the non-insulating layers. This arrangement includes a first layer (116) of an amorphous material such that using only the first layer of amorphous material in the arrangement would result in a given value of a parameter in the transport of electrons, with respect to the given voltage. The arrangement further includes a second layer (118) of material, which is configured to cooperate with the first layer (116) of amorphous material such that the transport of electrons includes, at least in part, transport by tunneling, and such that the parameter, with respect to the given voltage, is increased above the given value of the parameter.

    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices for producing particles with an average diameter less than about 15μm using the precipitation with compressed fluid-antisolvent (PCA) process and the carbon-dioxide assisted nebulization with a bubble dryer (CAN-BD) process. In the methods and nozzles of the invention, at least one jet of supercritical or near-supercritical fluid and at least one jet of solution interact to mix the supercritical or near-supercritical fluid and the solution within a chamber. The solution contains at least one solvent and at least one solute. At least one of the jets is a swirling jet. To form particles, the solvent and supercritical or near-supercritical fluid are then injected into a PCA or a CAN-BD process chamber. The degree of mixing depends in part on the power input into the mixing chamber. Power inputs of about 6.5xl0 9 W/m 3 enhance the degree of mixing and allow production of nanoscale particles with the PCA process. The nanoscale particles have a size distribution so that polydispersity is less than about 1.75.

    Abstract: The present invention provides extended depth of focus (EDF) to human eyes by modifying contact lenses, interocular implants, or the surface of the eye itself. This is accomplished by applying selected phase variations to the optical element in question (for example, by varying surface thickness). The phase variations EDF-code the wavefront and cause the optical transfer function to remain essentially constant within some range away from the in-focus position. This provides a coded image on the retina. The human brain decodes this coded image, resulting in an in-focus image over an increased depth of focus.

    Abstract: Pot1p, a protein identified in humans, Schizosaccharomyces pombe , and mouse, binds single-stranded telomeric DNA and both stabilizes chromosome ends and regulates telomerase activity. Compounds that stabilize or disrupt the Pot1p-DNA interaction will be useful in regulating the telomere length of a cell. Because telomere length is involved in the regulation of cellular life-span, the life-span of useful cell populations may be prolonged or undesirable cells may be caused to cease proliferation. The identification of a Pot1 protein and its encoding DNA provides methods of screening useful compounds or diagnosing illnesses that involve altered expression or structure of a Pot1 protein or gene.
