Abstract: A cover article for a sensor is described herein that includes: a substrate; and an outer layered film disposed on the substrate. The outer layered film comprises alternating high and low refractive index (RI) layers. Each of the high RI layers comprises a nitride or an oxynitride. The outer layered film can have a physical thickness from about 500 nm to 12,000 nm. The article has at least two non-overlapping wavelength bands, each band having a bandwidth from 5 nm to 200 nm and a central wavelength within a spectrum from 400 nm to 1200 nm. Further, the article exhibits, for each of the at least two non-overlapping wavelength bands, (a) an average two-surface transmittance of >70% within incident angles from 0° to 20° and (b) an average two-surface transmittance of <50% within incident angles from 200 to 90°.

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.

Abstract: Disclosed is a window for a sensing system comprising a substrate, a first layered film comprising alternating layers of higher and lower index materials, and a second layered film comprising alternating layers of higher and lower index materials. 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing dimethyl ether (DME). The invention provides that a first and a second reaction zone in which catalyst fills are arranged between two adjacent pillow plates and are traversable by the respective input gas are arranged in a common synthesis reactor. The pillow plates are traversable by a fluid cooling medium. The DME-containing product gas stream exiting the synthesis reactor is resolved into a DME end product stream, a gas byproduct stream containing unconverted carbon oxides and hydrogen, a methanol byproduct stream and a wastewater stream. The gas byproduct stream is at least partially returned to the reactor inflow to increase the altogether achieved DME yield.

According to the invention, for this purpose, the gasoline fraction obtained in the OTO process according to the prior art is added to an aromatization reactor. Multistage separation of the product stream from the aromatization reactor affords a product stream containing BTX aromatics and a gasoline fraction that has been depleted of olefins, cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes.
