    Abstract: Technologies for microwave annealing include a chamber, a heating device configured to heat a substrate borne within the chamber during system operation, a microwave source configured to direct microwave energy at a predetermined frequency to a location within the chamber at which the substrate is disposed, and an elongated waveguide disposed within the chamber and extending between the microwave source and the location within the chamber at which the substrate is disposed. The substrate may be a semiconductor doped by ion implantation or epitaxial growth. During operation, the microwave energy activates a dopant and/or breaks up a defect cluster within the substrate.

    Abstract: A verifier device in one embodiment is configured to communicate over one or more networks with a client device and a server device. The verifier device participates in a three-party handshake protocol with the client device and the server device in which the verifier device and the client device obtain respective shares of a session key of a secure session with the server device. The verifier device receives from the client device a commitment relating to the secure session with the server device, and responsive to receipt of the commitment, releases to the client device additional information relating to the secure session that was not previously accessible to the client device. The verifier device verifies correctness of at least one characterization of data obtained by the client device from the server device as part of the secure session, based at least in part on the commitment and the additional information.

    Abstract: A composition having the following structure: wherein: R1 is OH, ester group, ether group, amine, thiol, thioether, halide, or a group containing an alkynyl or azido functionality; R2 is H, OH, ester group, ether group, amine, thiol, thioether, halide, or a group containing an alkynyl or azido functionality; R3 is a group containing a reactive functionality capable of covalent binding to a thiol or amine; and R4 is H, OH, ester group, ether group, amine, thiol, thioether, halide, or a group containing an alkynyl or azido functionality; wherein one of R1, R2 and R4 is a group containing an alkynyl or azido functionality. Also disclosed is a method for profiling changes in BSH enzyme activity by attaching active BSH enzymes in a sample to the probe shown above, attaching a tag to the probe, and detecting the active BSH enzymes to obtain an activity profile.

    Abstract: Silica nanorings, methods of making silica nanorings, and uses of silica nanorings. The silica nanorings may be PEGylated. The silica nanorings may be surface functionalized, which may be surface selective functionalization, with one or more polyethylene glycol (PEG) group(s), one or more display group(s), one or more functional group(s), or a combination thereof. The silica nanorings may have a size of 5 to 20 nm. The silica nanorings may be made using micelles. The absence or presence of the micelles during PEGylation and/or functionalization allows for surface selective functionalization. The silica nanorings may be used in various diagnostic and/or treatment methods.
