Abstract: System for increasing a target zone for electrical ablation includes a treatment control module executable by a processor. The control module directs a pulse generator to apply pre-conditioning pulses to subject tissue cells in a pre-conditioning zone to electroporation. The pre-conditioning zone being smaller than a target ablation zone. After the pre-conditioning pulses have been applied, the control module directs the pulse generator to apply treatment pulses to electrically ablate the tissue cells in the target ablation zone. The pre-conditioning pulses cause the pre-conditioning zone to have a much higher conductivity so that the zone acts as a larger electrode area when the treatment pulses are applied, which results in a much larger target ablation zone than otherwise possible.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a set of destination IP address to be added into a firewall whitelist. The system receives a network packet transmitted through a firewall and determines whether the destination address of the network packet corresponds to at least one of computing resource of a plurality of computing resources. If so, the system transforms the destination address of the packet to another destination address of the corresponding computing resource. The system forwards the network packet to the destination address of the corresponding computing resource.

Abstract: A deformable mirror can include a reservoir containing a ferrofluid. The deformable mirror can also include a reflective face sheet covering a front side of the reservoir such that a back side of the reflective face sheet is exposed to the ferrofluid. The reflective face sheet can have a reflective surface on a front side of the reflective face sheet opposite the back side. The reflective face sheet can have a non-uniform thickness between the front and back sides of the reflective face sheet to provide stiffness for the reflective face sheet. In addition, the deformable mirror can include one or more electromagnets operable to generate a magnetic field that acts on the ferrofluid to deform the reflective face sheet. A deformable mirror system can further include a control system operably coupled to the one or more electromagnets to control the magnetic field and thereby a deformation of the reflective face sheet.

Abstract: A system and method for 3D microfabrication projects light capable of initiating photopolymerization toward a spatial light modulator that modulates light responsive to digital masks corresponding to layers of the structure. Projection optics focus the modulated light onto an optical plane within a photopolymerizable material supported on a stage. A computer controller causes the spatial light modulator to project a sequences of images corresponding to the digital masks while coordinating movement of the stage to move a position of the optical plane within the photopolymerizable material to sequentially project each image of the sequence to generate the structure by progressively photopolymerizing the photopolymerizable material.

Abstract: The present application provides a lens breech locking device, which relates to a structure for locking a lens. It comprises a lens (1) and an adapter (2), a lens placement slot (3) for placing the lens (1) is arranged on the adapter (2), wherein, a plurality of vertical fork flanges (5) with claws (4) are mounted in the lens placement slot (3) for adjusting the position of the lens (1) on the adapter (2), the claw (4) is located between a chassis (13) of the vertical fork flange (5) and the bottom of the lens placement slot (3). The present application adds four vertical fork flanges to the lens placement slot of the adapter/camera, and limits the lens through the vertical fork flange, so that the lens can be better locked on the adapter.

Abstract: A dome-covered rodent trap for capturing rodents. The trap has a base formed of walls and two openings through which rodents may enter. A snap mechanism for trapping rodents is secured to the base. A movable dome also is attached to the base. When the trap is set, the movable dome is maintained in a raised position. However, when the snap mechanism is triggered by a rodent, the movable dome moves downward to cover the base—thereby forming a sealed container around a captured rodent.
