Publication number: 20200019118Abstract: Multiple pairs of substrate-guided wave-based holograms (SGWHs) are laminated to a common thin substrate to form a transparent substrate-guided wave-based holographic CHMSL (SGWHC) that diffracts playback LED illumination over a wide angular range. This device is made pursuant to a technique that includes the steps of recording a first set of SGWHs with one setup, that upon playback, will couple and guide the diffracted light inside the substrate, and a second set of SGWHs recorded with another setup, that will diffract and couple the guided light out.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2019Publication date: January 16, 2020Inventors: FEDOR DIMOV, ENGIN ARIK, JUN AI, XIAOWEI XIA, NEVEN RAKULJIC, CHRIS GRIFFO, JAY PERLIN, LEO KATSENELENSON, STANLEY TAFENG KAO, CHINMAYA DHARMADHIKARI

Patent number: 9182648Abstract: A large coherent two-dimensional (2D) spatial filter array (SFA), 30 by 30 or larger, is produced by coupling a 2D planar lightwave circuit (PLC) array with a pair of lenslet arrays at the input and output side. The 2D PLC array is produced by stacking a plurality of chips, each chip with a plural number of straight PLC waveguides. A pupil array is coated onto the focal plane of the lenslet array. The PLC waveguides are produced by deposition of a plural number of silica layers on the silicon wafer, followed by photolithography and reactive ion etching (RIE) processes. A plural number of mode filters are included in the silica-on-silicon waveguide such that the PLC waveguide is transparent to the fundamental mode but higher order modes are attenuated by 40 dB or more.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2014Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: LUMINIT LLCInventors: Jun Ai, Fedor Dimov

Publication number: 20150175511Abstract: The invention relates to a use of an urushiol compound (code named GQ-5) in preparation of pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting Smad3 phosphorylation. We verify that GQ-5 inhibited the interaction of Smad3 with TGF-? type I receptor (T?RI), inhibited subsequent phosphorylation of Smad3, reduced nuclear translocation of Smads complex, and suppressed the transcription of major fibrotic genes such as ?-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA), collagen I and fibronectin. Therefore, GQ-5 could be a potent and selective inhibitor of TGF-?1-induced Smad3 phosphorylation, and be used to prepare pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting Smad3 phosphorylation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2014Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicants: SOUTHERN HOSPITAL, SOUTHERN MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of SciencesInventors: Fan Fan HOU, Yongxian CHENG, Jing NIE, Jun AI, Jiangbo HE
