  • Patent number: 10085948
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for ionic gelation on solids for encapsulating water-insoluble solids. The method uses negatively charged macromolecules and soluble salts of polyvalent cations as shell-forming materials having a high adsorption on the surface of the solid when subjected to thermal treatment. The shell-forming material represents at least 10% of the weight of the dry microcapsule obtained. The obtained microcapsule can be redispersed in water and treated by altering the environment thereof in order to be used as an encapsulating medium for water-soluble compounds and they can also be used as active ingredients and/or excipients in the production of pharmaceutical or nutraceutical compositions.

  • Publication number: 20170359829
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may communicate according to a new device category satisfying specified QoS (quality of service) requirements while also satisfying specified link budget requirements, and additional optimization requirements. The new device category may identify the UE device as a wearable device. According to some embodiments, LTE category M may be extended to support non-MTC operations performed by wearable devices. For example, the new device category may support UE mobility and may disallow access barring. Additional extensions may be implemented in response to an indication by the UE that the UE is implementing a specific application, such as VoLTE or a near real-time application, such as audio streaming. In some scenarios, the indication may include the UE indicating a specific QCI value. In some scenarios, the indication may include the UE attaching to a specific APN.

  • Patent number: 9748732
    Abstract: A sheet light source is described that has a width in a front-to-back “x” direction, a length in a left-to-right “y” direction, and a height in a bottom-to-top “z” direction. The sheet light source includes a bottom conductive surface, a laser diode, a transparent conductive sheet, and an adhesive material portion. The laser diode is mounted on the conductive surface in the “z” direction. The transparent conductive sheet is laminated onto the laser diode and the conductive surface in the “z” direction. The adhesive material portion is located between the conductive sheet and the conductive surface, and binds the transparent conductive sheet to the laser diode and the conductive surface. The adhesive material portion further enables photons, emitted substantially in the “x” direction from the laser diode, to propagate therein to an edge and be output.
