Abstract: This document describes an electro-optic modulator with an integrated memory device comprising a micro-ring resonator and the memory device comprising a ferroelectric capacitor disposed in a partial circumference of a raised ring waveguide of the micro-ring resonator. An electric field is generated between transparent electrodes of the ferroelectric capacitor when a voltage is applied between these two layers, whereby the electric filed causes a polarization state of the ferroelectric capacitor to change based on the strength of the electric field. The electric field then extends between the ferroelectric capacitor and a bottom electrode layer of the micro-ring resonator when the applied voltage is removed, causing a refractive index of a non-centrosymmetric material of the micro-ring resonator to change based on the strength of the extended electric field.

The window comprises a maximum hardness, measured at the first layered film and by the Berkovich Indenter Hardness Test, of at least 8 GPa. The first and second layered films are configured so that the window has favorable antireflective and transmission attributes in an infrared wavelength range of interest, while providing relatively low reflectance and transmittance in the visible spectrum to provide a dark appearance and low signal noise.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for delivery of oleoylethanolamide (OEA) in a bioavailable formulation that reduces lipid accumulation in the liver of a subject. Described herein is a novel OEA formulation that allows for compound vehiculation to the liver parenchyma, where this natural lipid amide exerts its anti-steatosis effects. This formulation provides a significantly greater oral bioavailability than either non-formulated OEA or a different formulation of OEA (Levagen®-OEA). Moreover, oral administration of the novel OEA formulation attenuates liver steatosis produced in a mouse model of human metabolic syndrome. The composition is useful in the treatment of human non-alcoholic liver steatosis.
