    Abstract: A large-area, waveguide-based, high-speed ultraviolet and visible light photodetector system for optical wireless communication includes a substrate; plural, parallel, waveguides formed directly on the substrate and including a high quantum-yield wavelength-converting material of semiconductor nature; an optical coupling system optically connected to each one of the plural, parallel, waveguides; and a photodetector optically connected to the optical coupling system and configured to detect an outgoing light. The wavelength-converting material converts a first wavelength of an incoming light at high-speed, received by the plural, parallel, waveguides, into a second wavelength of the outgoing light. The first wavelength is different from the second wavelength, and the first and second wavelengths are between 200 and 800 nm.

    Abstract: Described are affinity purification system that includes a carrier/surface that is non-cellular, and sliding clamp (SC) protein, and methods for purifying proteins that bind to the SC. The SC is associated with the carrier/surface via covalent/non-covalent interactions. To attain control of coupling site, the SC can be mutated via site-directed mutagenesis to introduce an exogenous residue and, the exogenous internal residue is conjugated to the non-cellular surface through the linker. The SC can also be coupled to the carrier via non-covalent interactions such as the affinity interactions involved in ligand/binding partner complex formation.
    The SC-based affinity purification system are used in a purification column as bait proteins, to isolate SC binding partners or non SC-binding proteins engineered to contain a SC binding site prior to its purification.

    Abstract: An electromechanical pressure sensor includes an electromechanical resonator having a driving electrode, a sensing electrode, and a beam resonator arranged between the driving and sensing electrodes. The beam resonator includes a resonator beam coupled on a first end to a first fixed anchor and coupled on a second end to a fixed second fixed anchor. The electromechanical resonator also includes a first voltage source coupled to the driving electrode and configured to provide an alternating current to the driving electrode and a second voltage source coupled to the first fixed anchor. The second voltage source provides a DC bias to the resonator beam. The electromechanical resonator further includes a third voltage source coupled to the resonator beam via the first and second fixed anchors. The third voltage source is configured to supply a voltage to the resonator beam that results in a temperature differential between the resonator beam and the first and second fixed anchors. The electromechanical resonator also includes a processor coupled to the sensing electrode and configured to correlate a voltage on the sensing electrode with a pressure value.

    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor device involves selecting a substrate on which a wurtzite III-nitride alloy layer will be formed, and a piezoelectric polarization and an effective piezoelectric coefficient for the wurtzite III-nitride alloy layer. It is determined whether there is a wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition satisfying the selected effective piezoelectric coefficient. It is also determined whether there is a thickness for a layer formed from the wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition satisfying the selected piezoelectric polarization based on the selected substrate and the selected effective piezoelectric coefficient. Responsive to the determination that there is a wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition having a lattice constant satisfying the selected effective piezoelectric coefficient and a thickness for the layer formed from the wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition satisfying the selected piezoelectric polarization, the wurtzite III-nitride alloy layer is formed on the substrate having the wurtzite III-nitride alloy composition satisfying the selected effective piezoelectric coefficient and having the thickness satisfying the selected piezoelectric polarization.

    Abstract: Embodiments include degradable polyethers comprising ester units from a cyclic ester or carbonate units from carbon dioxide incorporated into a poly(ethylene oxide) backbone or a multifunctional core of a degradable polyether star. Embodiments include methods of forming a degradable polyether comprising contacting an ethylene oxide monomer with a lactide monomer or carbon dioxide in the presence of an alkyl borane and an initiator. Embodiments include methods of forming degradable polyether stars comprising contacting a diepoxide monomer with carbon dioxide and/or a cyclic ester in the presence of an initiator and a first amount of an alkyl borane to form a multifunctional core comprising degradable carbonate linkages and/or degradable ester linkages, and contacting the multifunctional core with an ethylene oxide monomer in the presence of a second amount of an alkyl borane to form arms of a polyether attached to the degradable multifunctional core.
