Silicon Carbide (SiC) has long been recognized as the choice for high voltage, high temperature, and high power applications. To achieve optimum design in SiC power devices, a varying charge in the lateral direction should be introduced. To f orm a junction termination extension (JTE) in SiC, different implant doses into multiple spaced zones can be used to create a non-…
This invention is directed to a method and apparatus for growing a multi-component single crystal boules that provides high quality and growth rate by growing the crystal from a multi-component melt, such as a ternary, quaternary or higher order melt. In the past, only binary compounds such as GaAs) could be commercially produced by directional solidification from melts, while…
The crystalline lenses of the eyes undergo mechanical, physiological, morphological and refractive changes to adjust the total refractive power of the eyes to maintain sharp visual acuity whenever an object of regard is moved toward and away from the distance at which humans typically view reading material. The aggregate changes experienced by the crystalline lenses of the…
This invention is directed to a method to improve the performance of stepper motor driven systems.Stepper motors are ubiquitous in modern office equipment and other machinery, yet little is published regarding their optimal use in open loop systems.Accurate control of a stepper motor is limited by the ability of the control system to approximate the actual motor and…
While there have been rapid advances in microscale device fabrication, microfluidics, and lab-on-a-chip technology, there is still a need to immobilize biomolecules (especially proteins) on a microfluidics apparatus, while maintaining high biological activity and electroosmotic flow (EOF) capability. This invention relates to the discovery that certain polymers containing both…
Conventional technologies used for the generation of solar power include building-integrated flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) systems, and stand-alone concentrating PV systems that are removed from the location of power application. Although these technologies work, widespread adoption of them for general use has been hampered by a number of impediments, such as the large amount…
Gaze determines a subjects current line of sight or fixation point. The direction of the eye gaze can express the interests of the subject and is a potential porthole into the current cognitive processes. Existing techniques for eye gaze tracking can be divided into video-based techniques and non-video-based techniques. However, non-video-based techniques are intrusive and…
This invention is directed to a highly accurate and efficient method and algorithm, namely the Dual-Bootstrap Iterative Closest Point algorithm, for performing image registration generally and retinal image registration in particular. Retinal image registration is challenging. The images are projections of a curved surface taken from a wide range of viewpoints using an un-…
Chemicals affect living organisms in both positive and negative ways, depending on the chemical. Chemicals can have different effects on different organisms, for example, potential drugs that work in animals studies but fail in human trials. A major reason to these differences is that species, individuals, and organs all have different kinds and amounts of enzymes. There is a…
Semiconductor nanoparticles (also called quantum dots or nanocrystals) are generally used a lasing medium in a laser, as fluorescent tags in biological testing methods, and as electronics devices. However, these nanoparticles traditionally have high production costs and the methods used for synthesis are extremely toxic at high temperatures, posing safety risks during mass…
