International Classification:

A61N001/00

US Classification:

607/002000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to methods and systems for functionally stimulating or coupling neurons and neuron target cells to electronic circuits, which use a stimulating electrode and an ion selective zone adjacent the cell membrane of the cell to be stimulated which selectively absorbs and expels one or more stimulating ion species under control of the stimulating electrode. This changes the concentration of signal or response-controlling structures in the cell wall.

US Classification:

427446000

Abstract:

Methods for applying an amorphous metal alloy to a substrate, comprising the steps of vaporizing an amorphous metal alloy composition, in a plasma spray gun to form a metal alloy vapor plasma plume, directing the metal alloy vapor plume onto a cooled substrate, maintained and condensing and rapidly solidifying the amorphous metal alloy composition vapor on the substrate, to form an amorphous metal layer deposit of high density and strength.

US Classification:

257 77

Abstract:

An optical circuit device has a carbon optical waveguide structure which has a substrate. A first carbon layer is atop the substrate and has a first refractive index. A carbon optical waveguide core is positioned atop the first layer and has a second refractive index different than the first refractive index. A cladding layer of carbon is positioned atop the first layer and the waveguide core and has a third refractive index different than the refractive index of the waveguide core.

Abstract:

An enzymatic transesterification method for preparing a margarine oil having both low trans- acid and low intermediate chain fatty acid content is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a transesterification reaction mixture containing a stearic acid source material and an edible liquid vegetable oil, transesterifying the stearic acid source material and the vegetable oil using a 1-, 3-positionally specific lipase, and then finally hydrogenating the fatty acid mixture to provide a recycle stearic acid source material for a recyclic reaction with the vegetable oil. Also described is a counter-current method for preparing a transesterified oil. The method includes the steps of providing a transesterification reaction zone containing a 1-, 3-positionally specific lipase, introducing a vegetable oil into the transesterification zone, introducing a stearic acid source material, conducting a supercritical gas or subcritical liquified gas counter-current fluid, carrying out a transesterification reaction of the triglyceride stream with the stearic acid or stearic acid monoester stream in the reaction zone, withdrawing a transesterified triglyceride margarine oil stream, withdrawing a counter-current fluid phase, hydrogenating the transesterified stearic acid or stearic acid monoester to provide a hydrogenated recycle stearic acid source material, and introducing the hydrogenated recycle stearic acid source material into the reaction zone.
