Abstract: The present disclosure provides for systems and methods for designing patient-specific sparse passive filters, for example compensation and modulation components, for simultaneous intensity and energy modulation in energetic entity or particle (e.g., proton) therapy, radiation therapy methods and systems, method for treating cancer in a patient or animal subject, method of optimizing an administration plan in particle FLASH radiotherapy or non-FLASH radiotherapy, configuration of the device or system to effectively place the patient-specific sparse passive filter, and the like.

Abstract: A method of processing raw poultry parts to produce a product continuing to qualify as a raw food product, including killing pathogens by increasing the core temperature to a regulatory-required temperature for a regulatory-required duration using mist heated to a temperature not denaturing or deforming the product skin in a manner resulting in a product continuing to have the appearance of a raw delicacy product. Included is an apparatus implementing said method, including a diagonally ascending heating track or chamber substantially filled with a screw auger conveying the poultry parts through the heating process, and a diagonally descending exit chute whereby the heat-processed parts exit the apparatus for final processing for packaging. Also included is a sub-system for recovering and re-using the misting liquids and other liquids exiting the parts, including filtration en route to a reservoir supplying the media for heating for misting the poultry parts.

Abstract: A waveguide light diffuser panel is disclosed that diffuses source lights and transmits ambient light. Conventional waveguide light diffusers diffuse all light and therefore provide a hazy outcome. In manufacturing a waveguide transparent diffuser, a printing method, such as inkjet printing, may be used. In this method, dot micro-lenses are formed on one side of a panel, which cover a portion of the panel in a staggered or random arrangement. The other side of the panel is coated with an anti-reflective material, or the shape of the panel may be concave. The dot shape is designed for efficient reflection of the incident light, as opposed to conventional hazy diffusers in which the reflection efficiency is low. High reflection efficiency in this case compensates for the reduced dot coverage.

Abstract: A light diffuser including a transparent substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface having formed thereon a plurality of tilted plane portions including a first tilted plane portion and a second tilted plane portion. The first tilted plane portion being tilted in a first direction and the second tilted plane portion being tilted in a second direction. The first direction of the first tilted plane portion being different from the second direction of the second tilted plane portion.
