Publication number: 20240055543Abstract: A visibly transparent luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is disclosed. The LSC includes a transparent substrate having at least one edge surface. A dye layer is coupled to the substrate, the dye layer having a peak absorption wavelength outside the visible band, the dye layer being configured to re-emit light at a peak emission wavelength outside the visible band, at least a portion of the re-emitted light being waveguided to the edge surface of the substrate. A photovoltaic device is coupled to the edge surface of the transparent substrate, the photovoltaic device being configured to absorb light at the peak emission wavelength and generate electrical energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYInventors: Richard Royal Lunt, Vladimir Bulovic, Miles Clark Barr

Publication number: 20230416847Abstract: Materials and methods are provided herein for determining if a subject has, or is at risk of developing, a clinical condition (e.g., cervical cancer). For example, this document provides a cost-effective self-test for determining whether a biological fluid from a subject contains a high-risk HPV strain, and a method for use of the self-test.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Marina R.

Publication number: 20230211029Abstract: The use of plasma to clean or sterilize items can be particularly advantageous for items that cannot be readily washed or cleaned by standard methods. The toxicity and complications generating sufficient plasma makes it hard to use for such purposes. The subject invention addresses the problem by generating a minimal amount of highly reactive plasma to sterilize an item. This is achieved by reducing the amount of space and ambient air around and within the item. In this way, the plasma generated fills only the required volume of the item to be cleaned and the plasm is directed at the object, not directed at or released into non-target areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: JULIUS REGALADO, XIN ZHOU, KENNETH CHERISOL, MILES CLARK

Patent number: 10922357Abstract: Natural language commands are automatically mapped to application programming interface (API) functions of web-based services. Grammatical rules may be applied to the APIs in order to classify the actions of the APIs, in some embodiments, generating mappings between the natural language commands and the APIs. When a natural language input is received and a natural language command identified form the natural language input, the corresponding API indicated in the mapping may be invoked.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Ramapulla Reddy Chennuru, Miles Clark, Niti S.
