    Abstract: A method of depositing a lateral pattern of a deposition material onto a substrate. The method comprises fabricating a laterally patterned deposition surface on the substrate having one or more deposition regions and one or more non-deposition regions. The method comprises depositing deposition material onto the deposition regions of the deposition surface to form a deposition structure comprising deposited regions and non-deposited regions. Depositing deposition material comprises dissolving the deposition material in a solvent to form a solution, introducing the deposition surface into fluid contact with the solution, varying a temperature of the solution, varying a pressure of the solution; and selectively heating the deposition regions to temperatures greater than the temperature of the solution to cause the deposition material to precipitate from the solution and deposit onto the deposition regions.

    Abstract: A bicycle with a suspension system for a wheel of the bicycle, the suspension system including a smart fluid damper for dampening a movement of the wheel relative to the frame. The smart fluid damper includes a flow control element disposed within a cavity of the damper and configured to apply a field to a smart fluid within a fluid passage extending through the flow control element. The flow control element includes field barriers proximate the fluid passage to locally block and/or divert the field such that the field cannot pass therethrough. The field barriers are arranged to cause the field to criss-cross the fluid passage at multiple axial intervals along the fluid passage, thereby focusing the field within the fluid passage.

    Abstract: A magnetic structure is provided. The magnetic structure may have a first magnetic layer with a first magnetization direction, a second magnetic layer with a second magnetization direction and a coupling layer interposed between the first and second magnetic layers. The coupling layer may include at least one non-magnetic element and at least one magnetic element. The atomic ratio of the at least one non-magnetic element to the at least one magnetic element is (100-x):x, where x is an atomic concentration parameter. Atomic concentration parameter, x, may cause the first magnetic layer to be non-collinearly coupled to the second magnetic layer such that, in the absence of external magnetic field, the first magnetization direction is oriented at a non-collinear angle relative to the second magnetization direction.

    Abstract: A diffuse-optical-spectroscopy system and method for scanning human tissue. The system includes: (a) a handheld probe operable to emit electromagnetic radiation at one or more wavelengths corresponding to absorption associated with one or more human-tissue constituents, respectively, the handheld probe being operable to detect received electromagnetic radiation at each of the wavelengths; and (b) a processor operable to produce, in response to the received electromagnetic radiation, one or more cross-sectional images of the human tissue respectively associated with the wavelengths. The handheld probe includes first and second sources for emitting the electromagnetic radiation and one or more sensors for detecting the received electromagnetic radiation. The sensors are aligned along a first axis and face in an outward direction. The first and second sources are aligned along the first axis, face in the outward direction, and are disposed on either side of the sensors.

    Abstract: A smart fluid damper includes a damper body defining a cavity with smart fluid. A piston head is disposed within the cavity and is slidingly displaceable. A flow control element is disposed within the cavity. The flow control element includes a main body having a central core, and an outer housing that surrounds the main body and is spaced apart therefrom to define a fluid passage between the main body and the outer housing. The fluid passage extends axially through the main body to permit fluid flow therethrough. The central core includes an energizable coil operable to apply a field. A plurality of field barriers are provided, each operable to locally block the field generated by the energizable coil such that the field cannot pass directly therethrough. The field barriers are configured to focus the field within the fluid passage.
