Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel negative-type photoresist composition and methods of their use. The disclosure further relates to multiple trigger photoresist processes which allow for the improvement in contrast, resolution, and/or line edges roughness in some systems without giving up sensitivity. The photoresist compositions and the methods of the current disclosure are ideal for fine patent processing using, for example, ultraviolet radiation, extreme ultraviolet radiation, beyond extreme ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and changed particle. The disclosure further relates to sensitivity enhancing materials useful in the disclosed compositions and methods.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing free-standing cladding tubes with multi-layer structures. According to the method, a cylindrical mandrel substrate defining a hollow cylindrical inner space is provided. A first cold spray powder metal is selected. The cylindrical mandrel substrate is rotated and the first cold spray powder metal is applied to an outer surface of the cylindrical mandrel substrate to form a first layer. The cylindrical mandrel substrate is removed.

Abstract: The methods and compounds disclosed herein relate to the surface modification of UHMWPs by means of a catalytic C—H bond insertion catalyst using a rhodium catalysts in conjunction with carbene-generating diazo compounds. The catalytic treatment imparts covalently added functionality to the UHMWPE surface. This functionality acts as an excellent grafting mechanism for grafting, bonding, or adhering further materials to the UHMWPs surface.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a sustainable hydroponic growing system comprises at least one hydroponic growing unit, an algae growing unit configured to produce an algae biomass, a biofuel system configured to process the algae biomass to produce a bioethanol fuel and a solid oxide fuel cell configured to use the bioethanol fuel as at least one source of fuel to produce electrical power for use by the at least one hydroponic growing unit. In one embodiment, the solid oxide fuel cell is further configured to produce steam that serves as a water source for the at least one hydroponic growing unit and/or the algae growing unit.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a washer-dryer system includes a fuel cell unit configured to generate electrical power and steam, a motor configured to receive electrical power from the fuel cell unit, a heat exchanger configured to receive steam from the fuel cell unit and configured to generate heated air and heated water, a rotatable drum configured to receive at least one of the heated air and the heated water from the heat exchanger, and a drive shaft coupled to the motor and the rotatable drum. In one embodiment, the washer-dryer system further includes a control unit configured to control operation of the motor such that the motor causes the drive shaft and the rotatable drum to rotate at a predetermined rotational speed. In one embodiment, the fuel cell unit includes at least one solid oxide fuel cell.

Abstract: The invention relates to a closed loop system which is used in modulating gastric activity. By appropriate deployment of the components of the system, one can monitor and modulate “slow waves” in the gastrointestinal system of a subject.

Abstract: A computer-implemented virtual application appliance (VAA) and method for managing migration of an application on a source computer to a virtual application within the VAA on a target computer networked to the source computer are disclosed. The VAA includes resources on the target computer, a virtual application for execution in the VAA, and network credentials for remotely connecting to the source computer and copying data resources from the source computer. A runtime intercept of the VAA compares on-demand resource requests of the virtual application to resources on the target computer and provides the requested resource to the virtual application. When the runtime intercept fails to locate the requested resource in the resources on the target computer, a tether of the VAA remotely retrieves the requested resource from the source computer using the network credentials and then copies the requested resource into the resources on the target computer.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for providing an uninterruptible power supply for an electronic device. The apparatus includes an AC-to-DC power supply that receives an external AC voltage supply and outputs a DC voltage to the electronic device. The power supply includes a bridge rectifier that rectifies the AC voltage from the external AC voltage supply, a boost power factor correction (PFC) converter that boosts the rectified voltage, and a line isolated DC-to-DC converter that changes the boosted voltage to the operating voltage range of the electronic device. The apparatus also includes an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) subsystem that contains, a controller that monitors the external AC voltage supply for interruptions, and a high voltage isolated DC-to-DC (HVDC) converter that supplies high voltage DC power directly to the PFC converter if the controller detects an interruption in the external AC voltage supply.

Abstract: A space efficient, portable computer unit has been developed. The computer unit includes a unit case that is generally cubic shaped and a cooling system. The cooling system includes multiple exhaust fan mounted on the rear of the unit case and a filter mounted on the front of the unit case. The exhaust fan draws cooling air from the exterior of the unit case through the filter. The internal computer components are mounted inside the unit case, so that each internal computer component is arranged to receive cooling air directly from the filter and avoid heat stacking of the components.
