Abstract: CRISPNA, a new tool for genome editing and diagnosis. The present invention relates to methods and systems for genome editing and diagnosis, and specifically relates to use of Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs) to direct the Cas proteins to their DNA or RNA targets.

Abstract: Applying and using a protective film on a portable electronic device includes provision and application of a protective film product to a surface of the portable electronic device. The protective film product includes at least a protective film, an adhesive layer on one surface of the protective film and a removable cap sheet on an opposite surface of the protective film. An adhesive area of the adhesive layer is applied to a surface of the electronic device, and pressure is applied to the cap sheet to remove air bubbles trapped between the adhesive layer and the electronic device. The cap sheet is removed, and remaining air bubbles are permitted to diffuse through the adhesive and protective film.

Abstract: A protective film product for a portable electronic device includes a protective film, one or more adhesive layers formed on a surface of the protective film, a backing layer disposed on one of the adhesive layers, and a cap sheet disposed on an opposite surface of the protective film. Micro air pockets are formed in gaps between a surface of the cap sheet and the protective film.

Abstract: A screen protector for a screen of an electronic device is provided. The screen protector may include a protective film, a tab, an adhesive layer, and a backing layer. The protective film may include major surfaces and an edge. The tab may be removable and may extend from the edge of the protective film to form a grab handle for positioning the protective film. The adhesive layer may be on a first major surface of the protective film and include an adhesive having tack sufficient to permit repositioning of the protective film during installation of the protective film onto the screen. The backing layer may cover the adhesive layer to protect the adhesive prior to the installation of the protective film onto of the screen. The backing layer may be removable from the adhesive layer prior to the installation to expose the adhesive to the screen.

Abstract: A protective adhesive film may include a polyurethane sheet and an adhesive layer disposed on at least a portion of a first major surface of the polyurethane sheet. The adhesive layer may comprise a pressure-sensitive adhesive that includes an acrylate polymer and a silicone macromer. The adhesive layer may adhere to a surface of an electronic device without the application of any liquid or additive to the adhesive layer or the surface of the electronic device.

Abstract: A method, system and program product for overriding existing functionality provided in an application programming interface (API) for a local protocol implementation is provided. The method includes providing an API for a local protocol implementation having a raw interface function that can be invoked by a client application to override existing functionality provided in the API. The method further includes defining for the raw interface function an array of pre-formed payload elements to be included for creating a customized protocol request message for requesting a protocol service from a server application using a remote protocol implementation different than the local protocol implementation, populating data for each element in the array defined, and invoking the raw interface function, which takes as input the array defined and inserts them, in order, behind a protocol message header of the protocol request message and sends the customized protocol request message to the server application.

Abstract: A photocathode is capable of generating an electron beam from incident light. The photocathode comprises a light permeable support having a light receiving surface and an opposing surface. A Group III nitride layer is provided on the opposing surface of the support. The Group III nitride layer comprises at least one Group III element and nitrogen. An alkali halide layer is provided on the Group III nitride layer. The alkali halide can be a cesium halide, such as cesium bromide or iodide.

Abstract: A multiple electron beam source comprises a photon source to generate a photon beam, a lens to focus the photon beam, a photocathode having a photon receiving surface and an electron emitting surface, and an array of electron transmission gates spaced apart from the electron emitting surface of the photocathode by a distance dg. Each electron transmission gate comprises a membrane; an anode on a first surface of the membrane; an insulator on a second surface of the membrane; an aperture through the anode, insulator and membrane; and a gate electrode on the insulator. The gate electrode is positioned about the aperture and capable of receiving a gate control voltage that controls the transmission of electrons through that electron transmission gate. In one version, the multiple electron beam source comprises a photocathode stage assembly to move the photocathode relative to the array of electron transmission gates.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method for non-contact electrical testing of printed circuit boards, solid state display devices, integrated circuits and other substrates with traces that connect together components of a circuit, using two modulated charged particle beams. The apparatus includes two sources of beams, electrodes to modulate the beams, optics to focus the beams and deflection coils to deflect the beams over a large area. The apparatus also has an enclosure around the optics and the deflection coils of magnetically soft material. A surrounding solenoid excitation coil creates an almost uniform axial magnetic field within the magnetic enclosure. A detection system for detecting the voltage contrast signals, including suitable signal processing system is also provided. The use of two beams simultaneously allows fast, direct measurement of impedance parameters. By selecting appropriate beam modulation frequencies, the sensitivity to a certain kind of defect can be selectively increased.
