Abstract: The present system relates to a mains-powerable, compact and customizable alternating current magnetic field plate for magnet-assisted transfection of genes to target cells. Magnet plate is based on at least one alternating current electromagnet comprising a laminated steel stack core and a multi-layer, multi-turn coil wound longitudinally therearound. The system includes a voltage rating adjustment controller, as well as a current adjuster for selective control of magnetic force applied to genetic material for delivery. Rapid magnetic field polarity switching exacts lateral motion efficiently and uniformly, thus improving the distribution of means, such as SPIONS, used to transfect cells with genes of interest, and in turn enhancing gene delivery and tissue localization, especially for hard-to-transfect genes, compared to DC magnet plates.

Abstract: An overspeed emergency brake system includes an overspeed detector magnet generating a brake actuation force and a kinematic constraint element guiding the movement of the magnet. The magnet and a kinematic constraint element in the brake system are arranged such that a linear brake actuation force is generated at a normal operating speed condition (i.e in a first position of the magnet with respect to the kinematic constraint element), due to the movement of the kinematic constraint element when guiding the magnet along a reaction surface and the kinematic constraint element converts the linear speed-force relationship into a nonlinear speed-force relationship in an overspeed condition (i.e a second position), while the magnet translates with respect to the kinematic constraint element generating a sharply increasing force for triggering the overspeed emergency brake.

Abstract: A system may include a double differential-fed dual-polarized 2.4 GHz, microstrip patch antenna with extremely high interport isolation for shared antenna architecture based in-band full duplex (IBFD) transceivers. The presented antenna configuration is based on four ports linearly polarized single radiating element with differential feeding for both transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) operation. The double differential feeding using two identical 3 dB/180° ring hybrid couplers with nice amplitude/phase balance effectively suppresses the interport RF leakage to achieve very high isolation. Strong amplitude and phase balance of 3 dB/180° ring hybrid coupler can provide a better SIC performance as compared to DFN based on Wilkinson power divider with un-equal length microstrip lines, thus supplying an elite level of suppression in means of self-interference at Tx.
