  • Modulating Photosensitive Proteins with Mechanoluminescent Particles
    Publication number: 20220330832
    Abstract: Provided are methods of contacting a tissue inside a subject with light by applying an ultrasound signal to a photoexcited mechanoluminescent particle while the mechanoluminescent particle is inside the subject and in proximity to the tissue, thereby causing the mechanoluminescent particle to emit light that contacts the tissue. Provided are systems and kits for performing such methods.

  • Rolled-up electromagnetic component for on-chip applications and method of making a rolled-up electromagnetic component
    Patent number: 11031456
    Abstract: A rolled-up electromagnetic component for on-chip applications comprises: a multilayer sheet in a rolled configuration comprising at least one turn about a longitudinal axis; a core defined by a first turn of the rolled configuration; and a soft magnetic material disposed within the core, where the multilayer sheet comprises a conductive pattern layer on a strain-relieved layer. A method of making a rolled-up electromagnetic component for on-chip applications includes forming a rolled-up device comprising: a multilayer sheet in a rolled configuration having at least one turn about a longitudinal axis, where the multilayer sheet comprises a conductive pattern layer on a strain-relieved layer; and a core defined by a first turn of the rolled configuration. The method further includes introducing a soft magnetic material into the core.
