    Abstract: We disclose here a new type of solar generator using an optical concentrator in which sunlight is concentrated successively in each of two dimensions. Sunlight is first reflected toward a linear focus by a large, deeply-curved, cylindrical trough reflector of parabolic shape. Before the reflected light comes to the focus, it passes through smaller, regularly spaced toroidal arc lenses which further concentrate it in the orthogonal direction. The lenses have the two-dimensional cross section of a convex lens, extended into a toroid by rotation about an axis parallel to the line focus. The toroidal arc lenses operate to efficiently focus at very high-concentration converging rays that are incident from a wide range of directions, from the deeply curved primary reflector. The foci formed by the toroidal arc lenses are formed at regular intervals, spaced along a line parallel to and close to the primary linear trough focus. The concentrated sunlight at these foci is converted into electricity preferably by multi junction photovoltaic cells of very high efficiency, configured in short, parallel-connected linear arrays. In one embodiment, tolerance to off-axis pointing and uniformity of illumination is improved with an additional refractive element in the form of a rod lens, introduced close to and parallel to each cell array, so as to image the outline of the toroidal arc lenses onto the cells.

    Abstract: Described herein are methods for the alteration and/or transfer of fungal functional traits, e.g., phenotypic activity, via the controlled transfer of endohyphal symbionts, e.g., bacteria, among fungal species. Also described are methods for the identification of endohyphal bacterial symbionts as determinants of cellulase and ligninase activity in fungi, and the use of endohyphal bacterial symbionts to alter the activity, including cellulase and ligninase activities, of the fungi. In particular, the fungi described herein are endophytic fungi, that is, fungi which colonize living, and subsequently senescent, plant tissue.

    Abstract: A MC1R peptide ligand-elastic vesicle complex for preventing skin maladies. The MC1R peptide ligand is modified by coupling the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) ligand to a functionality or linker, such as a click functionality, for conjugation to a surface or agent. The modified MC1R peptide ligand can be coupled, e.g., via a click reaction with a complementary click functionality attached, to a moiety to form an MC1R-targeted agent. Drugs, contrast agents, polymers, particles, micelles, elastic vesicles, surfaces of larger structures, or other moieties can be targeted to the MC1R. The MC1R peptide ligand-elastic vesicle complex is prepared as a patch or viscous emulsion that can be applied to human skin.

    Abstract: Devices are disclosed for obtaining data of a sample, particularly data capable of being processed to produce an image of a region of the sample. An exemplary device includes a light-beam source, an acoustic-wave source, an optical element, and an acoustic detector. The optical element is transmissive to a light beam produced by the light-beam source and reflective to acoustic waves produced by the acoustic-wave source. The optical element is situated to direct the transmitted light beam and reflected acoustic wave simultaneously along an optical axis to be incident at a situs in or on a sample to cause the sample to produce acoustic echoes from the incident acoustic waves while also producing photoacoustic waves from the incident light beam photoacoustically interacting with the situs. The acoustic detector is placed to receive and detect the acoustic echoes and the photoacoustic waves from the situs. The acoustic detector can comprise one or more hydrophones exploiting the acousto-electric effect.

    Abstract: Described are methods for forming thin, pinhole-free conformal metal layers on both conducting and non-conducting surfaces. The formed metal films are useful as seed layers for further deposition of metal using conventional techniques like electroplating, and provide specific advantages for non-conducting surfaces, which are otherwise unsuitable for electroplating without the presence of the formed metal films. Unlike electroplating, the disclosed methods, however, do not require the presence of a voltage or external electric field at the surface, but form the metal films through an electroless technique using electrostatic interactions between negatively charged nanoparticles and a positively charged surface. In addition, the disclosed methods are compatible with solution phase processing and, thus, eliminate the need to transfer the surfaces into a vacuum chamber for a chemical or physical vapor deposition to form a metal layer.
