Abstract: A blow molding device for a rotary bottle blowing machine includes: a support base including a power-input shaft and a mold-insert control shaft which are pivotally disposed on the support base and extend along an axial direction; a drive source for driving the power-input shaft and the mold-insert control shaft to rotate; and a mold assembly with a first and second movable mold inserts pivotally disposed on the support base. The mold assembly makes the first and second movable mold inserts pivot toward or away from each other, rotation of the power-input shaft makes a bottom mold unit move in the axial direction, and can lock the first and second movable mold inserts. A method for using the blow molding device includes steps of mold opening or closing, mold lifting, and mold locking, and these steps are performed by using a single drive source.

Abstract: Counter anions having oxidative properties alter the performance of solution processed multilayer polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) that use cationic conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) as electron injection layers (EILs). In some versions, PLEDs with poly(2-methoxy-5-(2?-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) (MEH-PPV) emissive layers and cationic CPE EILs are altered with halide counter anions to exhibit a systematic increase in device performance. Exemplary oxidative counter anions are halide counter anions with F?>Cl?>Br?>I? in terms of device performance.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present invention relates to a system evaluating a surgical margin of tumor tissues of a living subject. In one embodiment, the system includes a light source configured to emit a source light; at least one optical probe; a scanner; a spectrometer; and a controller coupled with the scanner and the spectrometer for operably controlling the scanner and the spectrometer. In operation, a working end of the optical probe is positioned proximate to a surface of a specimen of the tumor tissues. A source channel of the optical probe deliver the source light emitted by the light source from the working end to the surface of the specimen, and a plurality of collection channels collect from the working end diffused/reflected light generated from interaction of the source light with the specimen. The spectrometer receives the collected diffused/reflected light to evaluate a margin status of the specimen.
