Abstract: A low-profile fluid manifold includes a tunable passive flow control system through intricate internal flow channels. The low-profile fluid manifold is manufactured using stereolithography (SLA) additive manufacturing to rapidly produce and tune the intricate flow channels to achieve the desired flow characteristics. Further, SLA additive manufacturing is used to build up inlet and outlet orifices in the flow direction, creating sealing surfaces for parallel oriented seals and sealing surfaces. The low-profile fluid manifold is manufactured to be air and liquid tight at the required operating pressures, temperatures, and environments, without the use of traditional fittings.

Abstract: A charging device configured to charge a mobile device through the solar cells integrated on the mobile device. The charging device converts wall power to light energy which can be absorbed by the solar cells and then converted to electricity for storage in the rechargeable battery of the mobile device. The charging device includes a light source configured to emit a light beam having a spectrum tuned to the spectral response of the solar cells. The charging device includes a proximity sensor for detecting the presence of a mobile device within the charging device housing and responsively signaling the activation of the light source. The charging device includes logic for wirelessly communicating with the mobile device as well as controlling the charging process in various stages and aspects. The light source may be LEDs that also serve to transmit light communication signals to the mobile device.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device with high band-gap absorbers optimized for indoor use and a method of manufacturing are disclosed. The optoelectronic semiconductor device comprises a p-n structure made of one or more compound semiconductors, wherein the p-n structure comprises a base layer and an emitter layer, wherein the base and/or emitter layers comprise materials whose quantum efficiency spectrum is well-matched to a spectrum of incident light, wherein the incident light is from a light source other than the sun; and wherein the device is a flexible single-crystal device. The method for forming an optoelectronic device optimized for the conversion of light from non-solar illumination sources into electricity, comprises depositing a buffer layer on a wafer; depositing a release layer above the buffer layer; depositing a p-n structure above the release layer; and lifting off the p-n structure from the wafer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of using a portable chemical decontamination system for decontamination of chemical warfare agents, including agent VX. Specifically, the present invention provides a portable chemical decontaminant system that is rapidly effective against chemical warfare agent VX. The disclosed method decontaminates agent VX using both electrochemically generated chlorine dioxide and chlorine dioxide generated by the reaction between a chemical warfare agent VX degradation product and excess sodium chlorite. The method using the portable system eliminates the need to transport corrosive or highly reactive chemicals, and dramatically simplifies the logistics of delivering an effective chemical decontaminant system to wherever it may be needed. The portable chemical decontamination system electrochemically generates chlorine dioxide and hypobromite.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide computer program products, methods, and systems for extracting and revising data for a resource embedded in a dynamic-link library (DLL) assembly. In various embodiments, the DLL assembly is loaded and data for a resource is extracted from the assembly. In particular embodiments, a manifest is created that includes a path for the extracted data extracted. This path includes information on placing the data for the resource into the assembly to construct a necessary DLL structure compatible with the program application. After the extracted data has been edited to create replacement data, in various embodiments, the replacement data is imported into the assembly based on the path for the extracted data and the assembly is compiled to create a revised DLL that may be read by the program application in place of or in addition to the original DLL assembly to utilize the replacement data.
