  • Patent number: 11886123
    Abstract: A super-resolution system for nano-patterning is disclosed, comprising an exposure head that enables a super-resolution patterning exposures. The super-resolution exposures are carried out using electromagnetic radiation and plasmonic structure, and in some embodiments, plasmonic structures having specially designed super-resolution apertures, of which the “bow-tie” and “C-aperture” are examples. These apertures create small but bright images in the near-field transmission pattern. A writing head comprising one or more of these apertures is held in close proximity to a medium for patterning. In some embodiments, a data processing system is provided to re-interpret the data to be patterned into a set of modulation signals used to drive the multiple individual channels and multiple exposures, and a detection means is provided to verify the data as written.

  • Publication number: 20230061484
    Abstract: A caramel includes water, glycerol, fat, and about 10% by weight or greater of at least one protein source including at least one protein. A method of forming a caramel includes combining water, glycerol, fat, and about 10% by weight or greater of at least one protein source including at least one protein to form a caramel composition. The method also includes hydrating the protein at a hydrating temperature less than a denaturation temperature of the protein to achieve the caramel having a predetermined water activity without denaturing the protein. The caramel includes about 25% by weight or greater of the protein source, and the protein is not in a denatured state in the caramel. A comestible product includes a protein core layer and a layer of a slab-able caramel adhering to the protein core layer.

  • Publication number: 20220197150
    Abstract: A super-resolution system for nano-patterning is disclosed, comprising an exposure head that enables a super-resolution patterning exposures. The super-resolution exposures are carried out using electromagnetic radiation and plasmonic structure, and in some embodiments, plasmonic structures having specially designed super-resolution apertures, of which the “bow-tie” and “C-aperture” are examples. These apertures create small but bright images in the near-field transmission pattern. A writing head comprising one or more of these apertures is held in close proximity to a medium for patterning. In some embodiments, a data processing system is provided to re-interpret the data to be patterned into a set of modulation signals used to drive the multiple individual channels and multiple exposures, and a detection means is provided to verify the data as written.

  • Publication number: 20150211446
    Abstract: A fuel supply system for supplying a low boiling point fuel to an internal combustion engine of a vehicle includes a fuel tank that encloses a tank volume and includes a primary chamber within the tank volume, a head chamber within the tank volume, and a divider wall. The head chamber is configured to contain fuel up to a head height. The divider wall is attached to a wall of the fuel tank and separates the primary chamber and the head chamber. A fluid pathway guides fuel from along a floor of the tank in the primary chamber through the divider wall and into the head chamber at or above the head height, responsive to movement of the fuel in the primary chamber. An output port is located in a wall of the head chamber adjacent the floor.
