Built upon a strong foundation, Lenovo's laptops offer the latest technologies with models including solid state drive storage for reliability, switchable graphics for longer battery life and the latest Intel® Centrino 2 processor technology for fast processing.
Built-in selftests, switchable voltages for signal-path tests and multiple safety voltage comparators are implemented for safety-critical applications.
The proposed methodology may allow further investigation of switchable surfaces for biological and medical applications.
The actuator is also durable, demonstrating both reversible actuation phenomenon and repeatable switchable transparency for 100 cycles.
One is a fixed interface for receive operation only on a dedicated channel, while the other is a switchable interface for transmit operation by changing its operating channel to that of an intended destination node.
These inherent properties, along with the diversity of bioactive molecular entities which can be chemically attached to the oligopeptide, make these oligopeptide SAMs excellent candidates to realize high performance electrically switchable surfaces for complex biological conditions.
Especially in the DMSO solvent, for example, we propose that soft S and hard O donor atoms (at opposing ends of molecule) facilitate switchable connections for weak bond making-breaking process; this mechanism could accommodate supramolecular association dissociation processes, thus triggering sol gel conversion of G⊃DMSO.
In our recent work, we have demonstrated that oligopeptides, which bear at one extremity a functional group able to anchor to a substrate and a bioactive molecular moiety at the other extremity, can act as functional components on switchable surfaces for controlling specific biomolecular interactions.
These two behaviours are combined in the proposed photonic structures and can be useful for switchable filters and cavities for light emission.
This effect was used for the development of an electrochemically switchable ion-exchanger for water purification, especially for softening drinking water.
