A signal processor/compressor dedicated to implantable neural recording microsystems is presented. Signal compression is performed based on Haar wavelet. It is shown in this paper that, compared to other mathematical transforms already used for this purpose, compression of neural signals using this type of wavelet transform can be of almost the same quality, while demanding less circuit complexity and smaller silicon area. Designed in a 0.13-μm standard CMOS process, the 64-channel 8-bit signal processor reported in this paper occupies 113μm×110μm of silicon area. It operates under a 1.8-V supply voltage at a master clock frequency of 3.2MHz.

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a food allergy-associated disease characterized by esophageal eosinophilia and associated inflammation. EoE has become increasingly common in industrialized countries. However, current management strategies, such as treatment with swallowed steroids and dietary restrictions, are nonspecific or negatively impact the quality of life of EoE patients. In addition, use of more specific therapies that target immunoglobulin E (IgE) and interleukin (IL)-5 have been largely unsuccessful in ameliorating EoE. Thus, there is an urgent need to identify novel, specific immunological pathways that underlie the pathogenesis of EoE that could be targeted to treat this disease. Recently, a genome-wide association study identified that EoE is associated with a gain-of-function polymorphism in the gene that encodes thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). TSLP is an IL-7 family member cytokine that promotes allergic inflammation by eliciting T helper type 2 cytokine responses, IgE production, and the expansion of a distinct population of basophils . However, whether TSLP directly promotes allergic inflammation in the esophagus and the mechanisms by which TSLP might contribute to the pathogenesis of EoE remain unknown. Here, we describe a new murine model of experimental EoE-like disease that was used to investigate the role of TSLP in allergic inflammation of the esophagus. Murine experimental EoE-like disease developed independently of IgE but was dependent on TSLP-elicited basophils. Critically, therapeutic antibody-mediated neutralization of TSLP or depletion of basophil populations ameliorated established EoE-like disease in mice. Finally, elevated TSLP levels and exaggerated basophil responses were observed in esophageal biopsies from EoE patients, and a gain-of-function polymorphism in TSLP correlated with increased basophil responses in patients with EoE. Together, these data indicate that TSLP-elicited basophil responses may play a key role in medi

In this paper employing double layer printed spiral coils (PSCs) is proposed for wireless power transmission in implantable biomedical applications. Detailed modeling of this type of PSCs is presented. Both calculations and measurements of fabricated double layer PSCs indicate that this structure can decrease the size of typical single layer PSCs without any change in the most important parameters of the coils, such as quality factor. Also, it is shown that with equal PSC dimensions and design parameters, double layer PSCs achieve significantly higher inductances and quality factors. Ultimately, a pair of double layer PSCs with a distance of 5 mm in air is used in an inductive link. The power transfer efficiency of this link is about 79.8% with a carrier frequency of 5 MHz and coupling coefficient of 0.189.
We propose a scheme that uses a two-color pulsed radially-polarized laser beam to achieve electron acceleration exceeding 90% of the theoretical energy gain limit, over twice of what is possible with a one-color beam....

Femtosecond time domain measurements can provide a powerful approach for characterizing both the nonlinear as well as linear optical properties of waveguide devices. We describe a new time division interferometry technique to perform direct measurements of the nonresonant nonlinear index of refraction in AIGaAs waveguides. In addition, femtosecond time of flight measurements permit linear properties such as absorption and dispersion to be characterized using time domain techniques. These techniques permit a comprehensive characterization of linear and nonlinear waveguide properties.
