Abstract: Protein-polymer composite materials are provided according to embodiments of the present invention that include an admixture of a polymer resin, a surfactant and a non-aqueous organic solvent. An aqueous solution containing bioactive proteins is mixed with the admixture. The emulsion is mixed with a crosslinker to produce a curable composition. The curable composition is cured, thereby producing the protein-polymer composite material that is useful for facilitating removal of bioorganic stains.

Abstract: A two-terminal memory cell includes a first P-type semiconductor layer, a first N-type semiconductor layer, a second P-type semiconductor layer, and a second N-type semiconductor layer arranged in sequence. A first data state may be stored in the memory cell by applying a forward bias, which is larger than a punch-through voltage VBO, between the first P-type semiconductor layer and the second N-type semiconductor layer. A second data state may be stored in the memory cell by applying a reverse bias, which is approaching to the reverse breakdown region of the memory cell, between the first P-type semiconductor layer and the second N-type semiconductor layer. In this way, the memory cell may be effectively used for data storage.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided separating a first group of cells from a mixture of at least first and second groups of cells in a suspending fluid. The system includes an annular flow channel and at least one magnetic element positioned around the exterior of the annular flow channel as to provide a radially symmetric magnetic field around at least a portion of the annular flow channel. The at least one magnetic element is configured to provide a gradually increasing magnetic field along the axis of flow as to limit the maximum magnetic gradient within the annular flow channel. A pump is operatively connected to a terminal end of the annular flow channel to force the suspending fluid through the annular channel.
