Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of this disclosure include apparatus, systems and methods utilizing a passive, power-efficient backscattering communication system that enables transmitting data wirelessly between implantable magnetoelectric (ME) devices and an external base station. Certain embodiments encode the transmitted data through modulating the resonance frequency of a ME film by digitally tuning its electric loading conditions.

Abstract: Methods for forming black phosphorus alloys and exfoliating black phosphorus alloys. A method for forming black phosphorus alloys includes providing phosphorus inside a vessel and providing an element inside the vessel. Media is provided inside the vessel and the phosphorus, the element, and the media are sealed under a gas within the vessel. The phosphorus and the element are mechanically milled with the media to produce black phosphorus that is covalently bonded with the element. A method for exfoliating a black phosphorus alloy includes mixing a milled black phosphorus alloy with a solvent and mixing a milled black phosphorus alloy with a solvent. The milled black phosphorus alloy and solvent mixture are then extracted from the milling apparatus, which may be a planetary ball mill, a vibratory mill, a tumbler ball mill, a mixer mill, a rod mill, an attrition mill, or a shaker mill.

Abstract: Hybrid silicon lasers and amplifiers having resonator cavities within a silicon substrate and a two-dimensional material film on the substrate as an optical gain medium are described. The two-dimensional material film may be formed of one or more atomic layers of phosphorene (BP). The number of phosphorene layers may be adjusted to tune the emission wavelength of the hybrid devices.

Abstract: A method for generic marshalling without object modification includes making a service request for at least one object by inputting data into a computer system; constructing at least one marshalling request from the service request to marshal the at least one object; selecting a marshaller that supports an output format for the data; an abstract marshaller calling at least one strategy provider based on the at least one marshalling request and the selected marshaller; and the at least one strategy provider calling at least one strategy. The at least one strategy defines a translation that converts values from the at least one object into a generic format recognized by the abstract marshaller so the values are translated into the specific output format supported by the selected marshaller.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for visually indicating relationships among cells in a spreadsheet. Each of a first graphical linking element extending between cells in a first branch of a dependency tree of a root cell and a second graphical linking element extending between cells in a second branch of the dependency tree of the root cell is independently displayed and hidden.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for processing cells in a spreadsheet. A first formula contained in a first cell and a second formula contained in a second cell to provide a consolidated formula, wherein the second formula references the output of the first cell are automatically consolidated. The consolidated formula is stored in a single cell. Further methods, systems and computer program products are provided for processing cells in a spreadsheet and wherein a first cell, a second cell that is referenced as a precedent cell by a formula contained in the first cell, and a formula or data contained in the second cell are displayed while hiding the formula contained in the first cell and its value.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for managing a resource include using a first object to obtain data associated with the resource that is being managed. The first object may be embedded in a cell of a spreadsheet running on a spreadsheet application. Formula in the spreadsheet are executed, where at least some of the formulas reference at least some of the data obtained by the first object. The operation of the resource may then be altered based on the results of the executed formula.

Abstract: A cap cover made of a folded fiberboard material adhesively held together in a configuration to fit over an existing bottle cap.
