The Double-Focus Generalized Luneburg Lens Design and Synthesis Using Metasurfaces

Abstract The design of the cylindrical Luneburg lens manufactured by using 3D printing facilities was presented, fabricated and experimentally verified. The two different approaches to lens parameter discretization were applied to lens design and compared. The effective dielectric permittivity of Polylactic Acid (PLA) plastic samples with different infilling percentage were estimated by a resonant method.

New Chemotherapeutic Agents

During the design and synthesis of new chemotherapeutic agents for prostatic carcinoma based on phosphorylated agents which might be enzyme-activated to cytotoxicity, phosphorylcholine, [(CH3)3+NCH2CH2OPO3Ca]Cl-, has been indicated to be a very specific substrate for prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP). This phenomenon has led to the development of specific histochemical and ultracytochemical methods for PAP using modifications of the Gomori lead method for acid phosphatase. Comparative histochemical results in prostate and kidney of the rat have been published earlier with phosphorylcholine (PC) and β-glycerophosphate (βGP). We now report the ultracytochemical results.Minced tissues were fixed in 3% glutaraldehyde-0.1 M phosphate buffered (pH 7.4) for 1.5 hr and rinsed overnight in several changes of 0.05 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 7.5% sucrose. Tissues were incubated 30 min to 2 hr in Gomori acid phosphatase medium (2) containing 0.1 M substrate, either PC or βGP.

Synthesis Of Materials

Biomimetics involves investigation of structure, function, and methods of synthesis of biological composite materials. The goal is to apply this information to the design and synthesis of materials for engineering applications.Properties of engineering materials are structure sensitive through the whole spectrum of dimensions from nanometer to macro scale. The goal in designing and processing of technological materials, therefore, is to control microstructural evolution at each of these dimensions so as to achieve predictable physical and chemical properties. Control at each successive level of dimension, however, is a major challenge as is the retention of integrity between successive levels. Engineering materials are rarely fabricated to achieve more than a few of the desired properties and the synthesis techniques usually involve high temperature or low pressure conditions that are energy inefficient and environmentally damaging.In contrast to human-made materials, organisms synthesize composites whose intricate structures are more controlled at each scale and hierarchical order.

Recent progress in computer technology enables the calculation of lens fields and focal properties on commonly available computers such as IBM ATs. If we add to this the use of graphics, we greatly increase the applicability of design programs for electron lenses. Most programs for field computation are based on the finite element method (FEM). They are written in Fortran 77, so that they are easily transferred from PCs to larger machines.The design process has recently been made significantly more user friendly by adding input programs written in Turbo Pascal, which allows a flexible implementation of computer graphics. The input programs have not only menu driven input and modification of numerical data, but also graphics editing of the data. The input programs create files which are subsequently read by the Fortran programs. From the main menu of our magnetic lens design program, further options are chosen by using function keys or numbers. Some options (lens initialization and setting, fine mesh, current densities, etc.) open other menus where computation parameters can be set or numerical data can be entered with the help of a simple line editor. The "draw lens" option enables graphical editing of the mesh - see fig. I. The geometry of the electron lens is specified in terms of coordinates and indices of a coarse quadrilateral mesh. In this mesh, the fine mesh with smoothly changing step size is calculated by an automeshing procedure. The options shown in fig. 1 allow modification of the number of coarse mesh lines, change of coordinates of mesh points or lines, and specification of lens parts. Interactive and graphical modification of the fine mesh can be called from the fine mesh menu. Finally, the lens computation can be called. Our FEM program allows up to 8000 mesh points on an AT computer. Another menu allows the display of computed results stored in output files and graphical display of axial flux density, flux density in magnetic parts, and the flux lines in magnetic lenses - see fig. 2. A series of several lens excitations with user specified or default magnetization curves can be calculated and displayed in one session.
