20100055042Enhancing Clot Busting Medication in Stroke with Directed Drug Convection using Magnetic Nano-Particles - An important step towards successful drug targeting with nanoparticles is developing a method to coat the nanoparticles with a useful drug. BSA was used by us to mimic the actual drug for its cost effectiveness during initial trials. We have successfully immobilized BSA onto three (PEG, PEMA and glutamic acid) out of four different surfactant capped nanocomposites. We found that the BSA immobilized particles showed excellent colloidal stability in water and stayed well suspended without any sign of agglomeration or settling. The suspended particles were easily accumulated using a magnet and could be re-dispersed readily. These properties indicate that the BSA immobilized iron oxide nanocomposites are excellent candidates for directed drug convection (DDC).03-04-2010

20090116522Enhanced efficiency laterally-coupled distributed feedback laser - The invention describes the method and apparatus for enhanced efficiency in a laterally-coupled distributed feedback (LC-DFB) laser. In a device featuring the effective ridge design, lateral confinement of the guided optical modes is provided by a surface etched grating, which also serves as a DFB element of the laser. Coupling and quantum efficiency of such a LC-DFB laser both improve with an increase of the lateral mode order. In accordance with this invention, a dramatic enhancement of the laser efficiency is achievable by designing it to operate in one of the higher order modes, notably the first order mode, while all the other lateral modes, including the zero order mode, are suppressed through gain-loss discrimination. In the exemplary embodiment of the invention, this enhanced efficiency technique is applied to the design of a single-mode LC-DFB laser suitable for a monolithic integration with other active and passive functional elements of photonic integrated circuits fabricated by using one-step epitaxial growth.05-07-2009
