Abstract: There is herein described a structure for converting light from LED arrays from shorter wavelength, for example blue, into longer wavelength light, for example red and green, so as to form displays containing red, green and blue sub-pixels. More particularly, the present invention relates to a structure and process in which light from LED arrays of the same wavelength is converted into alternate colours by means of a colour conversion structure.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method are described. In one embodiment, the system generates ions for use in treating vegetation to optimize growth of the vegetation. The system includes an ion generation region having a pair of dissimilar metal plates. The ion generation chamber receives a liquid and routes the liquid past the dissimilar metal plates to capture ion transfer between the dissimilar metal plates. The ions form a charged solution. The system also includes a collection region having a collection bed for storing the charged solution, and a fertigation region for dispersing the liquid. Other embodiments of the system are also described.

Abstract: A formulation containing specific GRAS-approved enzymes and ingredients is provided for preventing and inhibiting fungi and their proteins from forming on surface areas of common building materials, and for extending the time period for safer, healthier dwellings, office space, public schools, modular buildings, maritime and aviation equipment, and such, by reducing the known level of fungi and the corresponding exposure level to humans. The formulation is comprised of a combination of safe, plant- and vegetable-based, fungi-derived, non-toxic organic enzymes and catalysts, which works by degrading and neutralizing the offending fungi mycelium, spores and proteins on contact. The technology is defined as an anti-fungal resistance management technology used to control and remove fungi from common building materials. The enzyme formulation is applied by identified methods to include standard spray applications, atomization, and/or fuimigation.

Abstract: A formulation is provided for preventing fungus on citrus fruits to prolong the life of the fruits after harvesting. The formulation is based on a combination of safe organic enzymes and catalysts by utilizing natural microbal action to break down carbohydrate forming cell walls by consuming and digesting the offending fungus spores, mycotoxins, bacteria and other biological pathogens on contact. The formulation may be either atomized in vivo or on the fruit or by a drenching method.

Abstract: An enzyme formulation is provided for preventing fungi and their proteins from forming on fruits and vegetables, and for extending the shelf life of the fruits and vegetables from field (pre-harvest) to various post-harvest points, such as packing houses, processing operations, distribution points, shippers, retailers and consumers. The enzyme formula is comprised of a combination of safe, plant and vegetable based non-toxic organic enzymes and catalysts, and works by degrading and neutralizing the offending fungi, mycelium, spores and proteins on contact. The enzyme formulation is applied by identified methods to include standard spray applications, atomization/fumigation, dipping, or soaking and drenching.

Abstract: The device is formed on a silicon-on-insulator chip (which comprises a layer of silicon (1) separated from a substrate (3) by an insulator layer (2)) and comprises an integrated waveguide (4) formed in the silicon layer (1) and a reflective facet (6) formed in a recess in the silicon layer (1). The facet (6) is positioned to redirect light in a desired direction. The waveguide (4) and facet (6) are both formed in the silicon layer (1) so their positions can be defined by the same lithographic steps so they are automatically aligned with each other.
