Abstract: The invention relates to a novel use of ultrafine nanoparticles, of use as a diagnostic, therapeutic or theranostic agent, characterized by their mode of administration via the airways. The invention is also directed toward the applications which follow from this novel mode of administration, in particular for imaging the lungs, and the diagnosis or prognosis of pathological pulmonary conditions. In the therapeutic field, the applications envisioned are those of radiosensitizing or radioactive agents for radiotherapy (and optionally curietherapy), or for neutron therapy, or of agents for PDT (photodynamic therapy), in particular for the treatment of lung tumors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a kinesthetic-feedback wearable apparatus which realizes a kinesthetic-feedback in a virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR), and more particularly to a kinesthetic-feedback wearable apparatus which provides a resistance, which is suitable for a situation in a virtual reality or augmented reality, to a user by using a propeller in a state in which a virtual reality or augmented reality device is mounted to the user who uses the virtual reality or augmented reality device. According to the present invention, a reactive force for a kinesthetic-feedback can be easily realized through a scheme of attaching a light propeller to a wrist, and reactive forces of various directions may be realized only with a small number of propellers by allowing the directions and the RPMs of the propellers to be separately controlled for a higher degree of freedom when two or more propellers are provided.

Abstract: A microinverter is provided for converting DC energy from a PV panel into a grid-compatible AC signal. A first plurality of switching elements is coupled between a DC energy source and a primary winding of a transformer. A second plurality of switching elements is coupled to a secondary winding of the transformer. Current sensors sense real time converter parameters including a DC input, an AC output, and a primary current. A digital controller determines an operating mode for the converter based on a DC input signal, with the controller further including a switch signal generator circuit configured to adjust switching states. The switch state adjustments are based on the operating mode, real time converter parameters which include the DC input signal, an AC signal for output to a grid, a primary current, and a desired shape for the AC output signal waveform.
