    Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for non-invasive determination of bone mass, said apparatus having a platform for supporting a bone to be measured, a spring having a selected stiffness which connects the platform to a sensor capable of measuring vibration velocity and force, and a vibrating means connected to the sensor, wherein the vibrating means exposes the sensor, the spring and the platform to vibration so that vibration velocity and force can be measured by the sensor and the mass of the bone determined. A second apparatus for non-invasive determination of bone mass having a gripping means, a spring having a selected stiffness which connects the gripping means to a platform for positioning of a bone, a sensor capable of measuring vibration velocity and force which connects the platform to a vibrating means, and a vibrating means which vibrates the sensor, the platform, the spring, and the gripping means so the vibration velocity and force can be measured by the sensor is also provided. In addition, a method of non-invasively determining mass of a bone with these apparatuses is provided.

    Abstract: A method for creating oil-filled porous anodic oxide coatings for metallic surfaces is disclosed. The coating has anti-corrosion and omniphobic properties to resist both underwater and atmospheric conditions. To realize oil-impregnated three-dimensional bottle-shaped pores in the oxide layer in anodizing aluminum, the following steps may be taken. First, the target surface may be cleaned and electropolished. Then, a first anodizing step at a lower voltage is applied to create relatively small-diameter pores in the entrance (i.e., top) region of the oxide layer, followed by a second anodizing step at a higher voltage to subsequently create larger- diameter pores in the base (i.e., bottom) region of the oxide layer. Pore widening follows to enlarge the overall pore diameters. To fill the porous coating with an oil, a solvent exchange method may be utilized.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for secure computation and/or communication. Entangled photons (118) are generated such that each participating party receives a series of optical pulses. Each party has private information (110, 112) which are never transmitted through public or private communication channels. Instead, each party converts their respective private information (110, 112) into measurement bases via an encryption process (114, 116) which are then applied to the entangled photons (118). After the measurement process, e.g., quantum frequency conversion (122, 124), reference indices are announced (124, 126) so that computation can be performed (128) without revealing the private information directly or indirectly.
