Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for powering a device, among other devices, includes a light device, a coaxial cable, and an adapter. The light device includes: a housing; a light sub-assembly situated within the housing, the light sub-assembly including at least one light-emitting diode (LED); a coaxial cable connector mounted to the housing; and a first circuitry disposed within the housing, the first circuitry being capable of receiving DC power from the coaxial cable connector and providing DC power to the light sub-assembly. The coaxial cable is coupled to the coaxial cable connector of the light device at a first end of the coaxial cable. The adapter is coupled to a second end of the coaxial cable opposite the first end. The adapter includes a second circuitry capable of converting AC power received from a power source to DC power output to the coaxial cable to power the light device.

Abstract: A cable/tubular clamp includes a base having an upper surface, a front surface extending downward from a front edge of the upper surface, and a back surface extending downward from a back edge of the upper surface, an aperture extending through the base in a direction from the front to the back surface; a first clamp arm extending from the front edge in a direction toward the back edge with a space between the back edge and an extended end of the first clamp arm, and a second clamp arm extending from the back edge in a direction toward the front edge with a space between the front edge and an extended end of the second clamp arm. The first clamp arm and the second clamp arm are sized to receive a cable or tubular through the spaces and to hold the cable or tubular against the base.

Abstract: An antenna assembly for receiving television signals on both very high frequency (VHF) bands and ultra high frequency (UHF) bands, the antenna assembly including: a main section including an elongated boom, at least one active element coupled to the boom, and at least one passive element coupled to the boom; a VHF section including a VHF boom configured to be coupled to a first longitudinal end of the boom and at least one active element coupled to the VHF boom; and a UHF section including a UHF boom configured to be coupled to a second longitudinal end of the boom opposite the first longitudinal end and a plurality of passive elements coupled to the UHF boom.

Abstract: A method of inseminating an animal including flowing a stream of a population of sperm cells through a channel, differentiating the sperm cells into two subpopulations of X-chromosome containing sperm cells and Y-chromosome containing sperm cells, selecting a desired subpopulation, ablating an undesired subpopulation, and collecting both the subpopulations of sperm cells including the desired subpopulation and the ablated undesired subpopulation together, wherein the collected population of sperm cells is used to fertilize an egg.

Abstract: A microfluidic chip orients and isolates components in a sample fluid mixture by two step focusing, where sheath fluids compress the sample fluid mixture in a sample input channel in one direction, such that the sample fluid mixture becomes a narrower stream bounded by the sheath fluids, and by having the sheath fluids compress the sample fluid mixture in a second direction further downstream, such that the components are compressed and oriented in a selected direction to pass through an interrogation chamber in single file formation for identification and separation by various methods. The isolation mechanism utilizes external, stacked piezoelectric actuator assemblies disposed on a microfluidic chip holder, or piezoelectric actuator assemblies on-chip, so that the actuator assemblies are triggered by an electronic signal to actuate jet chambers on either side of the sample input channel, to jet selected components in the sample input channel into one of the output channels.
