Embodiments of the present invention can estimate an image using an encodement provided by an optical component, an encodement provided by a detector array, or both an encodement provided by an optical component and an encodement provided by a detector array. The original image can be encoded with a dispersed point spread function created by the optical component. The detector array can be encoded with a pixel sampling function. The encoded image is measured using the detector array. An estimated image can be calculated from the pixel sampling function and the measured image, the dispersed point spread function and the measured image, or the dispersed point spread function, the pixel sampling function, and the measured image. The number of ...

A method for producing methanol and dimethyl ether using the air as the sole source of materials. This method separates water and carbon dioxide from atmospheric air for use in the subsequent production of methanol and dimethyl ether. These compounds can be used as fuel or fuel additives or further converted to synthetic hydrocarbons and their products. Carbon dioxide is captured on a suitable absorbent, preferentially polyethyleneimine supported on nano-structured fumed silica. The process can also involve hydrogenation with hydrogen produced by electrolysis of the water obtained from the air.

A system and method for identifying explosive or other target materials includes the steps of irradiating a first location and a second location spaced apart from the first location from a sample suspected of including explosives with ultraviolet, visible or infrared light, measuring reflected light emanated from the first sample location (R1) and reflected light emanated from the second sample location (R2), and calculating a normalized difference in reflectivity (ΔR/ R ), wherein R = (R1+R2)/2 is an average reflectivity. A differential reflection spectrum (DRS) is then generated for the sample where ΔR=R2-R1 is the difference of the reflectivities of the first and the second sample location. One or more explosives or other target materi...

High breakdown enhancement mode gallium nitride (GaN) based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with integrated slant field plates. These HEMTs have an epilayer structure comprised of AlGaN/GaN buffer. Before the formation of the gate electrode, a passivation layer is deposited, and then the opening for the gate is patterned. The passivation layer below the gate is etched using an etch condition that creates a slanted sidewalls. Then, the charge below the channel is removed either by Fluorine-based plasma treatment and/or by a recess etch. The gate metal is deposited with an angled rotation to form a gate structure with an inherent field plate with rounded edges.

In one embodiment, the grass is bahiagrass. Grass can be transformed with a nucleic acid that encodes a leucine zipper class I protein, for example an Arabidopsis ATHB16 protein, or a fragment, variant, or homolog thereof that has substantially the same activity as the ATHB16 protein. The nucleic acid can be provided in a construct that results in overexpression or constitutive expression of the protein.
