  • Publication number: 20070243431
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel hydrogen-generating, solid fuel cartridge which may be used to provide hydrogen to a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. The cartridge contains a mixture of the hydrogen-generating solid fuel and a catalyst. The solid fuel/catalyst mixture has a packing fraction greater than about 55 percent. Throughout the fuel/catalyst mixture is means for distributing the liquid reactant; there is also a network of hydrogen-collecting, gas permeable membranes for removing the hydrogen product from the cartridge. The hydrogen-generating solid fuel cartridge may further include a liquid reactant distribution plate for distributing the liquid reactant to the solid fuel/catalyst mixture in a substantially uniform manner. The distribution plate has distribution channels arranged in a fractal pattern.

  • Publication number: 20070235711
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods of reducing the bandgap of a metal oxide by alloying a binary oxide with a Group VI element that is isovalent with oxygen. The Group VI element substitutes for at least a portion of the oxygen in the binary oxide to form the alloyed, ternary oxide. Such ternary oxide electrodes are useful as photoelectrodes in photoelectrochemical cells that spontaneously, as a result of solar power, cleave (split) water molecules to produce hydrogen gas. Exemplary ternary metal oxide alloys useful in the present embodiments include W[(VI)xO1?x]3 and Ti[(VI)xO1?x]2, and the Group VI element may be S, Se, and Te, and combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20070238132
    Abstract: The combinatorial approach to materials synthesis can create vast libraries of materials. Some luminescent materials can be activated by the application of electrical current. Additionally, these materials can be activated by the application of an electron gun or some other electron source, such as a ?-emitter. In its simplest form, a library of materials can be screened for luminescence by placing the library in a position to collect beta particles emitted from radioactive ?-emitters.

  • Patent number: 7271574
    Abstract: Novel systems of an evanescent microwave probe (EWP) are disclosed, which enable measurements of physical properties of a sample with enhanced sensitivity and resolution, simultaneously. In one embodiment, new shielding features are added to the probe (which may be of either a sharpened tip or loop configuration) to reduce the effects of residual far field radiation, while maintaining the probe section that extends beyond the shielding aperture of the resonator. To further increase the sensitivity of the instrument, an automatic gain-controlled active feedback loop system may be added to the probe resonator to form a self-oscillator. This new active circuit feature significantly increases the effective Q of the resonator probe, enhancing the sensitivity of both the frequency and Q measurement.

  • Publication number: 20070196860
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for detecting and/or measuring the activity of a specific kinase, with the methods comprising contacting one or more kinases with a binding agent to isolate a specific kinase of interest. The isolated kinase is then contacted with a kinase activity sensor, where the kinase activity sensor is comprised of a kinase recognition motif that is capable of being recognized by the isolated kinase, and at least one phosphorylation site. The isolated kinase phosphorylates the amino acid target of the kinase activity sensor and levels of the phosphorylated target amino acid can then be quantified.

    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for examining the subsurface microstructure of a sample are provided. Radiation from a plurality of optical radiation sources travels along a first optical path. In the first optical path, a device focuses the optical radiati n from each of the optical sources into a plurality of respective focal points along the first optical path to provide substantially continuous coverage of a selected portion of the first optical path. Then, a sample on the first optical path within the selected length extending into the sample is scanned along said selected portion of the first optical path.

  • Patent number: 7213923
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, viewable images can be created in glass. Viewable images may be created in glass by using a projector which projects ultraviolet light to excite light emitting material. Clear images may be created in glass because the size the light emitting particles in the glass is less than 400 nanometers. In embodiments, the visible illumination of a transparent substrate to display an image is possible, while the transparent substrate remains transparent. Accordingly, for example, drivers of automobiles may view images (e.g. map images) on their windshield while they are driving. As another example, window shoppers may view enhanced advertisements in the windows of stores that they are approaching.

  • Publication number: 20070048305
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, we have discovered that the molecule CD147 as expressed on certain cells, such as T-cells, B-cells, and/or monocytes, can be utilized for the treatment of a variety of diseases. In particular, we have demonstrated that antibodies that bind to CD147 and that result in the killing of such cells, for example, through the binding of complement, is efficacious in the treatment of diseases. Diseases in which such treatment appears efficacious include, without limitation: graft versus host disease (GVHD), organ transplant rejection diseases (including, without limitation, renal transplant, ocular transplant, and others), cancers (including, without limitation, cancers of the blood (i.e., leukemias and lymphomas), pancreatic, and others), autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, and others.
