  • Patent number: 11579363
    Abstract: An integrated optical beam steering device includes a planar Luneburg lens that collimates beams from different inputs in different directions within the lens plane. It also includes a curved (e.g., semi-circular or arced) grating coupler that diffracts the collimated beams out of the lens plane. The beams can be steered in the plane by controlling the direction along which the lens is illuminated and out of the plane by varying the beam wavelength. Unlike other beam steering devices, this device can operate over an extremely wide field of view—up to 180°—without any aberrations off boresight. In other words, the beam quality is uniform in all directions, unlike with aplanatic lenses, thanks to the circular symmetry of the planar Luneburg lens, which may be composed of subwavelength features. The lens is also robust to misalignment and fabrication imperfections and can be made using standard CMOS processes.

  • Publication number: 20200261879
    Abstract: The methods described herein, referred to as particle-templated emulsification (PTE), provide an improved approach for generating a monodisperse emulsion that encapsulates target particles of interest without requiring the use of a microfluidic device. Monodisperse droplets may be effectively obtained by using monodisperse particles to template the formation of droplets, which can include, e.g., monodisperse single-emulsion droplets, multiple-emulsion droplets, or Giant Unilamellar Vesicles (GUV), without destroying the integrity of the droplets.

  • Patent number: 9486089
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of feeding containers on a pusher track includes these steps. Push a pusher back before the tray is loaded. Latch the pusher at a back end of the pusher track, by catching a pusher guide in a horizontal notch in an edge of the track. Load a backmost container. Load further containers, and thereby push the backmost container towards the pusher, and automatically unlatch the pusher. Push the backmost container against a more forwardly rotated sidewall of the pusher, thereby horizontally rotating the pusher slider out of the notch, and unlatching the pusher, to push the containers forward.
