  • Publication number: 20150343100
    Abstract: Described herein is a non-invasive quantitative positron emission tomography (PET) nanoreporter technology that allows personalized therapeutic outcome prediction. In a breast cancer mouse model, it was demonstrated that co-injecting Doxil and a Zirconium-89 nanoreporter (89Zr-NRep) enabled highly precise doxorubicin (DOX) quantification. Imaging 89Zr-NRep via PET revealed remarkable Doxil accumulation heterogeneity independent of tumor size.

  • Publication number: 20150176778
    Abstract: A lighting device may include: a laser light source arrangement; at least two pivotable mirrors; and at least one light wavelength conversion element. The lighting device is embodied in such a way that light generated by the laser light source arrangement is directed onto at least one light wavelength conversion element by the pivotable mirrors. The at least two pivotable mirrors are embodied in such a way that light reflected at a first pivotable mirror is directable onto a first surface section of at least one light wavelength conversion element in order to form a first illuminatable region of the at least one light wavelength conversion element, and light reflected at a second pivotable mirror is directable onto a second surface section of the at least one light wavelength conversion element in order to form a second illuminatable region of the at least one light wavelength conversion element. The first and second illuminatable regions partly overlap.

  • Patent number: 8104939
    Abstract: A solid-state light source (10) comprising a plurality of LED units (12) arrayed to emit light generally about an axis (14). Each of the LED units (12) can comprise a number of LEDs, for example, up to five. They may all emit in a single color or multiple colors can be combined for a specific effect. A light transmissive light guide (16) is associated with the LED units (12) and has a plurality of input widows (18). Each LED unit (12) faces a respective input window (18) and each window (18) transversely intercepts the axis (14) and receives light from the LED units (12). The input windows (18) lead to a common output window (20) that is axially aligned with the input windows (18). The light guide (16) has smooth sidewalls (22) that extend between the input windows (18) and the output window (20).
