    Abstract: An approach for controlling ultraviolet intensity over a surface of a light sensitive object is described. Aspects involve using ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength range that includes ultraviolet-A and ultraviolet-B radiation to irradiate the surface. Light sensors measure light intensity at the surface, wherein each sensor measures light intensity in a wavelength range that corresponds to a wavelength range emitted from at least one of the sources. A controller controls the light intensity over the surface by adjusting the power of the sources as a function of the light intensity measurements. The controller uses the light intensity measurements to determine whether each source is illuminating the surface with an intensity that is within an acceptable variation with a predetermined intensity value targeted for the surface. The controller adjusts the power of the sources as a function of the variation to ensure an optimal distribution of light intensity over the surface.

    Abstract: Approaches for evaluating fluid flow based on fluorescent sensing is disclosed. In one approach, a nanoparticle injector is configured to inject nanoparticles into fluid flowing through a conduit. A detector is configured to determine a presence of the nanoparticles in the flow of the fluid. The detector can include a radiation source configured to irradiate the fluid with a target radiation and a fluorescent meter configured to measure an amount of fluorescence emitted from the fluid irradiated with the radiation. A control unit is configured to determine the flow of the fluid in the conduit as a function of the measured amount of fluorescence.

    Abstract: A diffusive layer including a laminate of a plurality of transparent films is provided. At least one of the plurality of transparent films includes a plurality of diffusive elements with a concentration that is less than a percolation threshold. The plurality of diffusive elements are optical elements that diffuse light that is impinging on such element. The plurality of diffusive elements can be diffusively reflective, diffusively transmitting or combination of both. The plurality of diffusive elements can include fibers, grains, domains, and/or the like. The at least one film can also include a powder material for improving the diffusive emission of radiation and a plurality of particles that are fluorescent when exposed to radiation.

    Abstract: A diffusive ultraviolet illuminator is provided. The illuminator can include a reflective mirror and a set of ultraviolet radiation sources located within a proximity of the focus point of the reflective mirror. The ultraviolet radiation from the set of ultraviolet radiation sources is directed towards a reflective surface located adjacent to the illuminator. The reflective surface can diffusively reflect at least 30% the ultraviolet radiation and the diffusive ultraviolet radiation can be within at least 40% of Lambertian distribution. A set of optical elements can be located between the illuminator and the reflective surface in order to direct the ultraviolet radiation towards at least 50% of the reflective surface.

    Abstract: A lateral/vertical device is provided. The device includes a device structure including a device channel having a lateral portion and a vertical portion. The lateral portion of the device channel can be located adjacent to a first surface of the device structure, and one or more contacts and/or a gate can be formed on the first surface. The device structure also includes a set of insulating layers located in the device structure between the lateral portion of the device channel and a second surface of the device structure opposite the first surface. An opening in the set of insulating layers defines a transition region between the lateral portion of the device channel and a vertical portion of the device channel. A contact to the vertical portion of the device channel can be located on the second surface.
