Abstract: Color Holographic Quick Response CHQR labels are scanned at identified locations by scanners that add their time, location, identification and process coded in the labels. The scanners scan and send that information and the scan data to a database having identification of all labels. The database verifies the scanner information to avoid counterfeiting. The information is hashed in the database, scanner and labels. Multiple labels of different types have distributed parts of the coded information and a decoding key. Color Holographic Quick Response labels have integrated radio frequency labels.

Abstract: New identifying code for labeling products to certify sources has Color Holographic Quick Response code by superimposing multiple layers of red, green and blue quick response codes using holographic imaging and creating layers of features that are extremely difficult to replicate. Multidimensional quick response code is provided in a hologram that cannot be copied.

Abstract: A cell tray has a multi-dimensional array of cells in precise, equally spaced wells (cubicles or silos) containing medium of interest. The ordered cell array enables automated processing as well as simultaneous monitoring and analyzing of a large matrix of cells, biological fluids, chemicals and/or solid samples. The invention is an integrated device and is fabricated into substrates similar to microscope slides. The ordered array of cells in precise locations helps in parallel analysis and processing of cells simultaneously. Each cell cubicle or silo in the array is located equidistant from its nearest neighbors in an orthogonal direction. The location of each well can be precisely measured and recorded in an automated processing system. Included in the bottom of each cell well is an optional micro-lens. An array of probes provides parallel cell processing and monitoring capabilities, including microinjection and microscope analysis.

Abstract: A hand-held telescope or binocular built into a bottle or consumable drink container includes a high quality objective lens; an adjustable focus eye lens; and, optionally, a connector ring to form a binocular; a jacket, sleeve or cuzzi containing information regarding, for example, sporting or scientific events; a baffle to minimize extraneous light from disturbing observational clarity; and a holographic bottle label that portrays sporting or scientific figures in three dimensions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a microscope mounted into a computer, such as e.g., a desktop, workstation, or laptop. The microscope mounted into the computer has a light source component, a microscope component, and a light analysis component. The light source component is connected to the microscope component, which in turn is connected to the light analysis component. This device is advantageously compact and can be used for a variety of microscope techniques such as, e.g., epi-illumination, trans-illumination, and fluorescence microscopy.

Abstract: The multi-target tracking and discrimination system (MOST) fuses with and augments existing BMDS sensor systems. Integrated devices include early warning radars, X-band radars, Lidar, DSP, and MOST which coordinates all the data received from all sources through a command center and deploys the GBI for successful interception of an object detected anywhere in space, for example, warheads. The MOST system integrates the optics for rapid detection and with the optical sensor array delivers high-speed, high accuracy positional information to radar systems and also identifies decoys. MOST incorporates space situational awareness, aero-optics, adaptive optics, and Lidar technologies. The components include telescopes or other optical systems, focal plane arrays including high-speed wavefront sensors or other focal plane detector arrays, wavefront sensor technology developed to mitigate aero-optic effects, distributed network of optical sensors, high-accuracy positional metrics, data fusion, and tracking mounts.

Abstract: A lightweight, low-cost, and highly sensitive aerosol sensor measures aerosol concentrations remotely. A fiber laser sends pulses outward toward the target area from a carbon-fiber telescope using ultra-lightweight optical elements. Light is received back in the same telescope or in another similar telescope depending on the aerosol concentration or other contents of the atmosphere. The sensor is lightweight, low-cost and has high performance. The system also measures aerosol profiles over a hemispherical volume to produce a three-dimensional measurement within the range of the laser.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a solar panel condenser apparatus which includes an optical condenser and a photovoltaic cell mounted substantially parallel to the optical condenser and placed about midway between the optical condenser and the focus of the optical condenser. The optical condenser can increase the effective area of the photovoltaic cell and increase the output power of existing photovoltaic cells by a factor of from about 2 to 4.

Abstract: Sub-wavelength size fluorescent particles attach to specific gene sites or a magnetic bead that is maneuvered around a cell volume to produce evanescent fields when illuminated in the far-field from light outside the cell volume. Light scattering from the sub-wavelength particles produces near-field interactions with surrounding molecules. The sub-wavelength scattering particles may be metallic spheres. Using particles within the cell removes large far-field scattered light from the mechanical structure of a supporting probe. Near-field light is modulated with an oscillating magnetic field, and micro-positioning is accomplished by a computer controlled DC magnetic field to scan the particle around within the cell. The Near-Field Intra-Cellular Apertureless Microscope (NICAM) technique enables non-destructive sub-wavelength resolution imaging without inserting a near-field (illumination or collection mode) probe into a cell.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for near-field intra-cellular apertureless tomographic imaging uses sub-wavelength nano-particle in a cell which generates tomographic projections. A detector detects and collects high-frequency details from evanescent field interactions of the nano-particle with surrounding molecules and provides near-field imagery of a cell volume. The detector may be a detector ring movably/pivotably disposed near the cell or it may be a discrete detector. The discrete detector may be coupled to a microscope with high NA objective coupled for minimizing solid angles of collected photons from each tomographic projection. A rotating platform may hold the cell substrate. The nano-particle is a sub-wavelength scattering fluorescent particle producing fluorescent rays that exit the cell and impinge on the detector. The tomographic projection provides tomographic views of molecules or cell structure with the help of the particle in the cell.
