  • FABRICATION OF SELF ASSEMBLING NANO-STRUCTURES
    Publication number: 20080075928
    Abstract: A new approach to fabricating regularly patterned nano-scale structures, by self assembly of the structures is disclosed, where a pattern of nano-lines are deposited on a substrate and nano-structures are grown by self assembly in regions between the lines to form regular or patterned nano-scale structures, which are ideally suited for the construction nano-scale materials, nano-scale electronic devices and other nano-scale objects, apparatuses or devices. The invention also relates to methods of making and using same.

  • Frame resolution analysis in any number of dimensions, with minimally supported (in the frequency domain) radial function
    Publication number: 20050027770
    Abstract: A non-separable multiresolution structure based on frames by radial scaling functions is disclosed, which are minimally supported in the frequency. Resulting frame multiwavelets are also disclosed which can be isotropic. The construction can be carried out in any number of dimensions and for a variety of dilation matrices.

  • Absolutely and uniformly convergent iterative approach to inverse scattering with an infinite radius of convergence
    Publication number: 20050021266
    Abstract: A method and system for solving the inverse acoustic scattering problem using an iterative approach with consideration of half-off-shell transition matrix elements (near-field) information, where the Volterra inverse series correctly predicts the first two moments of the interaction, while the Fredholm inverse series is correct only for the first moment and that the Volterra approach provides a method for exactly obtaining interactions which can be written as a sum of delta functions.
