  • Publication number: 20160274282
    Abstract: An incident angle insensitive color filter is disclosed, comprising a substrate, wherein several cylindrical gratings, made of silicon, are arranged in a regular hexagon shape on the substrate which is made up of fused quartz. A manufacturing method of the aforesaid filters is also disclosed. Different from the traditional chemical filters and traditional interference filters, incident angle insensitive color filters in the present invention are based on two-dimensional grating structure and make use of the huge refractive index contrast in the grating layer, by which the resonance is excited the resonance via the coupling between the regions with high/low refractive index, so as to achieve the incident angle insensitive filtering effects. The manufacturing method of incident angle insensitive color filters in the present invention is simple and of low cost, which is suitable for large scale mass manufacture.

  • Publication number: 20160216234
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to devices and methods for containing molecules. In some embodiments, the device comprises a nanopore, a pore, and a cavity capable of entropically containing (e.g., trapping) a molecule (e.g., a biomolecule), e.g., for minutes, hours, or days. In certain embodiments, the method comprises urging a molecule into a cavity of a device by application of an electric field, and/or by deposition of fluids having different ionic strengths. The molecule may comprise, in some cases, nucleic acids (e.g., DNA). The molecule, when present in the cavity and/or the nanopore, may be capable of being analyzed, determined, or chemically modified. In some instances, a second molecule (e.g., a second molecule which interacts the first molecule) may also be urged into the cavity. In some embodiments, the interaction of the second molecule with the first molecule (e.g.

  • Patent number: 9209526
    Abstract: A broadband dual-polarized omni-directional antenna and a feeding method using the same are provided. By setting a vertically polarized antenna and a horizontally polarized antenna each in co-axial, the horizontally polarized antenna is attached to an upper surface and a lower surface of the attaching plate respectively by two arms of a folded dipole and the two arms connect to an inner conductor and an outer conductor of a feed line so that the dual-polarized antenna may have a comparatively broad bandwidth. At the same time, since the dual-polarized ceiling antenna has a good isolation effect and coverage balance, it may work as the MIMO antenna in the LTE and WLAN systems effectively and may be used in the 2G and 3G networks to improve the data transmission rate.

  • Patent number: 9165231
    Abstract: Passive RFID devices are disclosed that perform image recognition. The device includes an antenna, circuitry, and a camera. The antenna receives a radio frequency (RF) signal from a RFID reader. The circuitry stores image data for objects that is used for image recognition. To operate, the circuitry derives power from the RF signal. With the power derived from the RF signal, the camera captures an image. The circuitry then identifies an object in the captured image based on the image data for the objects, and outputs information for the identified object, such as to the RFID reader.
