20130231878 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATION AND CONTROL OF MEHANICAL VIBRATION - A vibration generation system and method independently controls both frequency spectrum and amplitude distribution. Sensed vibration is used in feedback as a control to generate a controlled drive signal applied to a mechanical actuator. The amplitude distribution has a specified statistical characteristic adjusted to match a target characteristic, such as kurtosis, by adjusting a relative proportion of a coherent component in a randomized phase, which is then combined on a frequency-by-frequency basis with the separately adjusted frequency spectrum while in the frequency domain. | 09-05-2013 |
20140129030 | MECHANICAL VIBRATION SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD WITH LIMITED DISPLACEMENT - A control method for a mechanical vibration system independently modifies the higher and lower frequency components of the drive signal satisfying a target profile in a manner that limits displacement in the driven vibration. In particular, phases of the lower frequency components in a preliminary drive spectrum are independently adjusted so that peaks of the respective components are non-simultaneous and distributed in time to avoid contributing constructively. For example, the lower frequency components may be applied as a filter to a narrow-band time waveform, such as one with a swept frequency, to obtain the lower-frequency time waveform. The higher frequency components are randomized in their phase, transformed into the time domain, and recombined with the lower frequency part to obtain the drive signal. | 05-08-2014 |

20080241919 | Defined media for pluripotent stem cell culture - Stem cells, including mammalian, and particularly primate primordial stem cells (pPSCs) such as human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), hold great promise for restoring cell, tissue, and organ function. However, cultivation of stem cells, particularly undifferentiated hESCs, in serum-free, feeder-free, and conditioned-medium-free conditions remains crucial for large-scale, uniform production of pluripotent cells for cell-based therapies, as well as for controlling conditions for efficiently directing their lineage-specific differentiation. This instant invention is based on the discovery of the formulation of minimal essential components necessary for maintaining the long-term growth of pPSCs, particularly undifferentiated hESCs. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), insulin, ascorbic acid, and laminin were identified to be both sufficient and necessary for maintaining hESCs in a healthy self-renewing undifferentiated state capable of both prolonged propagation and then directed differentiation. Having discerned these minimal molecular requirements, conditions that would permit the substitution of poorly-characterized and unspecified biological additives and substrates were derived and optimized with entirely defined constituents, providing a “biologics”-free (i.e., animal-, feeder-, serum-, and conditioned-medium-free) system for the efficient long-term cultivation of pPSCs, particularly pluripotent hESCs. Such culture systems allow the derivation and large-scale production of stem cells such as pPSCs, particularly pluripotent hESCs, in optimal yet well-defined biologics-free culture conditions from which they can be efficiently directed towards a lineage-specific differentiated fate in vitro, and thus are important, for instance, in connection with clinical applications based on stem cell therapy and in drug discovery processes. | 10-02-2008 |

20100148151 | LIGHT EMITTING DEVICES WITH IMPROVED LIGHT EXTRACTION EFFICIENCY - A device includes a light emitting structure and a wavelength conversion member comprising a semiconductor. The light emitting structure is bonded to the wavelength conversion member. In some embodiments, the light emitting structure is bonded to the wavelength conversion member with an inorganic bonding material. In some embodiments, the light emitting structure is bonded to the wavelength conversion member with a bonding material having an index of refraction greater than 1.5. | 06-17-2010 |
20120021543 | LIGHT EMITTING DEVICES WITH IMPROVED LIGHT EXTRACTION EFFICIENCY - Light emitting devices with improved light extraction efficiency are provided. The light emitting devices have a stack of layers including semiconductor layers comprising an active region. The stack is bonded to a transparent lens having a refractive index for light emitted by the active region preferably greater than about 1.5, more preferably greater than about 1.8. A method of bonding a transparent lens to a light emitting device having a stack of layers including semiconductor layers comprising an active region includes elevating a temperature of the lens and the stack and applying a pressure to press the lens and the stack together. Bonding a high refractive index lens to a light emitting device improves the light extraction efficiency of the light emitting device by reducing loss due to total internal reflection. Advantageously, this improvement can be achieved without the use of an encapsulant. | 01-26-2012 |
