We propose a three-dimensional waveguide structure for the realization of mode-selective switches, where the high-order spatial modes of a few-mode waveguide can be switched to various single-mode waveguides with thermo-optically controlled vertical asymmetrical directional couplers.To demonstrate the idea, we design and fabricate two specific devi
Transient neonatal pustular melanosis is mostly found in full-term black infants.It is a benign and self-limited disease, and the etiology is still unknown.We present a full-term female neonate with multiple vesiculopustular and pigmented macular lesions found immediately after her birth.A skin biopsy showed vesicles consisting of intracorneal Eye
The online estimation of the state-of-charge (SOC) of Li-ion battery using the adaptive Lyapunov-based observer is an attractive proposition due to the ensured stability, adaptability and reduced computing requirement.However, the observer requires the presence of the persistent excitation (PE) to guarantee the convergence of the battery model para
Substitutional changes to imidazolecarboxamidine that preserved intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the solid state were used to study the relationship between packing and the hydrogen bond motif.Various motifs competed, but the most common imidazolecarboxamidine crystalline phase was a Ci symmetric dimer USB that established inversion centers by as
