Abstract: A method and apparatus of multi-dye analysis of particles using flow cytometer. The method includes dying particles to be detected using two or more dyes; urging the particles through a capillary in a non-uniform flow; exciting a first of the particles within the capillary using a multiphoton excitation laser beam causing the two or more dyes each to fluoresce thereby producing a first output signal and a second output signal respectively; and detecting the first output signal and the second output signal. A second of the particles within the capillary being excited using the multiphoton excitation laser beam causing the two or more dyes each to fluoresce thereby producing a third output signal and a forth output signal respectively. The method finally includes comparing a ratio of the first output signal and the second output signal to a ratio of the third output signal and the forth output signal to detect a desired change in the particles.

Abstract: An endscopic imaging device is described that achieves longitudinal axis (z-axis) scanning into a tissue or sample, using a piezoelectric microactuator. In some configurations, additional lateral (xy-plane) scanning is also achieved, to allow for the creation of full three-dimensional imaging, ex vivo or in vivo. The techniques may be used to image and diagnosis allergic rhinitis and eosinophilic esophagitis in tissue.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a dielectric body, a plurality of terminals molded in the dielectric body and an insulating housing. The dielectric body has a base portion, and a tongue portion. A rear end of the tongue portion defines a ring-shaped cavity for receiving a ring-shaped waterproof ring therein. The insulating housing has a top wall, two side walls and a bottom wall interconnected with one another to form an accommodating space thereamong. A ring-shaped blocking wall with an insertion groove formed therein is connected with inner sides of the top wall, the two side walls and the bottom wall. The tongue portion is inserted into a front of the accommodating space through the insertion groove with an outer periphery of the waterproof ring resisting against an inner sidewall of the insertion groove, and a front of the base portion abutting against a rear of the blocking wall.

Abstract: A watertight connector has a shell, an insulating housing wrapped in the shell, a plurality of terminals mounted into the shell, a fixing element fixed on the shell. A rear of the insulating housing is recess to form a receiving cavity for receiving a fixing block molded with a plurality of terminals, so there is no hole between the terminals and the insulating housing. A fixing element is fixed on the shell to seal openings of the shell for providing excellent waterproof property. So, all the openings of the watertight connector are sealed tightly. Also, the structure of the watertight connector is simple for reducing the production cost.

Abstract: A waterproof connector includes an insulating housing, a plurality of terminals mounted into the insulating housing, a shell wrapping the insulating housing. The insulating housing has a top wall recessed to form a first through recess having a lower portion with an outer periphery protruded inward for supporting a first sealing plate. The first sealing plate has an outer periphery portion of an upper portion exceeding that of a lower portion thereof. The engagement between the first through recess and the first sealing plate prevent water from going into the insulating housing. A lateral wall is recessed to form a receiving recess. A fixing element fixed in the receiving recess has a damping plate punched outward beyond the lateral wall. The damping plate rests against the lateral slice for stopping the water from permeating into the shell and further spreading into the insulating housing.

Abstract: A shell for an electronic device is provided. The shell includes a shell body and a pattern layer disposed on an outer surface of the shell body and formed by a curable material. The shell also includes a transparent protective layer disposed on an outer surface of the pattern layer.

Abstract: A terminal assembly includes a contact terminal having a base board, a driven terminal having a retention portion and an insulating block. Two opposite ends of the base board form a pair of contact portions located at one side of the base board for contacting a corresponding external terminal group. A portion of an edge of the retention portion extends to form an elastic arm. The insulating block is integrated with the contact terminal and the driven terminal by means of a substantial middle portion of the base board and a free end of the elastic arm being integrated in the insulating block. The base board of the contact terminal and the elastic arm of the driven terminal are intersected with and non-contacting with each other.

Abstract: An audio jack connector has an insulating housing having a passageway. A contacting terminal disposed on a side of the passageway has a holding portion and two contacting pieces slanted toward the same side separatively from two opposite ends of the holding portion. A first fixing terminal arranged on a side of the passageway, adjacent to the contacting terminal, has a first fixing slice. The first fixing slice has a side extended obliquely to form a first contacting piece connecting with one contacting piece. A second fixing terminal placed on an opposite side of the passageway has a second fixing slice, a second contacting piece obliquely connected with the second fixing slice for connecting with the other contacting piece. The contacting pieces are forced to slide on and depart from the first contacting piece and the second contacting piece when the contacting terminal is elastically pushed by the inserted plug.

Abstract: An additive, preferably in the form of metal nanoparticles or nanodomains, greatly improves a laser-based method and system for inducing optical breakdown. The use of ultrashort laser pulses to induce laser-induced breakdown (LIB) in metal nanoparticles or nanocomposites makes it possible to reduce significantly the threshold laser energy required for LIB. Such nanoscale (submicron) metallic particles allows one to control the LIB process. The nanoparticles can be synthesized so as to target specific biological structures or tissues (dendrimer nanoparticles are one system for which this has been demonstrated). This opens up the possibility of performing LIB for targeted cancer treatment or microsurgery.
