Abstract: A process for determining a nonlinear response of a photovoltaic cell that includes: producing a first set of first light pulses including a first light that includes a first photon flux; and different first magnitudes of first photon flux; producing a second set of second light pulses that include: a second light including a second photon flux; and different second magnitudes of second photon flux; repeating the first light pulses in a selected combination with the second light pulses to produce a combinatorial set of combinatorial light pulses including: a combinatorial light comprising a combinatorial photon flux and different combinatorial magnitudes; irradiating a photovoltaic cell separately with the first set, second set, and the combinatorial set; separately producing, a first, second, and combinatorial photovoltaic output; and solving a system of linear equations to determine the nonlinear relationship between the photovoltaic output and the magnitude of flux.

Abstract: A disciplined clock provides a disciplined time and a disciplined frequency synchronous with a reference clock. The disciplined clock includes: a time receiver to: receive a common view signal from the common view clock; and produce a receiver timing signal; a local clock to: receive a frequency correction; and produce a local timing signal; a time interval counter to: receive the receiver timing signal from the time receiver; receive the local timing signal from the lock clock; and determine a time difference between the receiver timing signal and the local timing signal; and a controller to: receive the time difference from the time interval counter; and communicate the frequency correction, based on the time difference, to the local clock.

Abstract: A process for optically sorting a plurality of particles includes: providing a particle receiver; producing particles; receiving the particles by the particle receiver; receiving a light by the particle receiver; producing a standing wave optical interference pattern in an optical interference site of the particle receiver from the light; subjecting the particles to an optical gradient force from the standing wave optical interference pattern; deflecting the particles into a plurality of deflected paths to form the sorted particles from the particles; and propagating the sorted particles from the optical interference site through the deflected paths to optically sort the particles

Abstract: A differential compensator reduces uncertainty in determination of movement of a structural member and includes: a first probe line to attach to the structural member and to provide a first combination of displacement of the structural member and a first expansion of the first probe line in response to movement of the structural member and expansion of the first probe line; and a second probe line having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is different than that of the first probe line, the second probe line to attach to the structural member at a position on the structural member proximate to a point of attachment of the first probe line to the structural member and to provide a second combination of displacement of the structural member and second expansion of the second probe line in response to movement of the structural member and expansion of the second probe line.

Abstract: A method, kit and primers for determining alleles present in a DNA sample that is sourced from either a mouse or a cell line derived from a mouse. A set of STR marker loci are selected that can be amplified together in a multiplex amplification reaction. The set of STR marker loci are selected from the group consisting of: 18-3, 4-2, 6-7, 15-3, 6-4, 12-1, 5-5, X-1, Mo11-1, Mo19-2, Mo1-2, Mo7-1, Mo1-1, Mo3-2, Mo8-1, Mo2-1, Mo11-2, Mo17-2, Mo13-1, D8S1106 and D4S2408. A set of oligonucleotide primer pairs are provided. Each oligonucleotide primer pair flanks a single locus in the set of STR marker loci, which are co-amplified in a multiplex amplification reaction, with the product(s) comprising a mixture of amplified alleles from each of the co-amplified loci in the set of STR marker loci. The products are evaluated to determine the alleles present at each of the loci analyzed.

Abstract: An acousto-microwave system to determine a mass M of gas disposed in a vessel includes: a microwave transmitter disposed on the vessel to transmit microwave radiation inside the vessel, a portion of the microwave radiation occurring at a microwave resonance of the vessel; a microwave receiver disposed on the vessel to receive microwave radiation communicated through an interior of the vessel from the microwave transmitter; an acoustic transmitter disposed on the vessel to transmit acoustic radiation inside the vessel, a portion of the acoustic radiation occurring at an acoustic resonance of the gas in the vessel; and an acoustic receiver disposed on the vessel to receive acoustic radiation communicated through the gas from the acoustic transmitter. The mass M of the gas is determined by analyzing the microwave radiation received by the microwave receiver and the acoustic radiation received by the acoustic receiver.
