20140342954 | MODIFICATION OF SURFACES FOR FLUID AND SOLID REPELLENCY - Articles, methods of making, and uses for modifying surfaces for liquid repellency are disclosed. The liquid repellant surfaces comprise a surface comprising an anchoring layer. The anchoring layer, which forms an immobilized molecular anchoring layer on the surface, has a head group that is covalently linked to, or adsorbed onto, the surface and a functional group. The functional group of the treated surface has an affinity for a lubricating layer, which is applied to the treated surface. The anchoring layer and replenishable lubricating layer are held together by non-covalent attractive forces. Together, these layers form an ultra-repellant slippery surface that repels certain immiscible liquids and prevents adsorption, coagulation, and surface fouling by components contained within. | 11-20-2014 |
20150173883 | MODIFICATION OF SURFACES FOR SIMULTANEOUS REPELLENCY AND TARGETED BINDING OF DESIRED MOIETIES - Articles, methods of making, and uses for modifying surfaces for simultaneously providing repellency and selective binding of desired moieties are disclosed. The repellant surfaces comprise a substrate and a lubricating layer immobilized over the substrate surface having a lubricating liquid having an affinity with the substrate. The substrate and the lubricating liquid are attracted to each other together by non-covalent attractive forces. The repellent surface further includes a binding group extending over the surface of the lubricating layer and the binding group has an affinity with a target moiety. The lubricating layer and the substrate form a slippery or repellent surface configured and arranged for contact with a material that is immiscible with the lubricating liquid and the immiscible material contains the target moiety. | 06-25-2015 |

20100189439 | OPTICAL FIBER DISTRIBUTED WIRELESS PERSONAL AREA NETWORK - A Wireless Personal Area Network that provides multiple users with multi-gigabit-per-second data rate wireless connectivity and is integrated with an optical fiber distribution network is disclosed. Embodiments relate generally to an integrated fiber optic WPAN architecture that comprises multiple 57-66 GHz remotely located wireless access points interconnected with a centrally located distribution point using optical fiber links. The integrated network provides an efficient, flexible and scalable 57-66 GHz WPAN architecture since the fiber optic links accommodate the delivery of bandwidth intensive services to large numbers of users while seamlessly supporting the diversity of multi-gigabit-per-second data applications. Two approaches for the transport of the WPAN signals over the optical fiber signal distribution network are described. One technique for interconnecting the remote radio access points in the fiber distributed 57-66 GHz WPAN is via an optical fiber network which can transport the wireless signals over the fiber as ‘analog over fiber’. An alternative ‘digital over fiber’ signal transport scheme for the fiber distributed 57-66 GHz WPAN is also described which supports the transport of the multi-gigabit-per-second WPAN digital data streams over fiber. | 07-29-2010 |
