The present invention comprises the formation of photonic polymer-blend structures having tunable optical and mechanical properties. The photonic polymer-blend structures comprise monomer units of spherical microparticles of a polymer-blend material wherein the spherical microparticles have surfaces partially merged with one another in a robust inter-particle bond having a tunable inter-particle separation or bond length sequentially attached in a desired and programmable architecture. The photonic polymer-blend structures of the present invention can be linked by several hundred individual particles sequentially linked to form complex three-dimensional structures or highly ordered two-dimensional arrays of 3D columns with 2D spacing.

The invention relates to a stator of an electric motor, comprising a laminated stator core (1) which is provided with electrical insulation (8) composed of plastic, and a stator bushing (3) which can be pressed into a central axial opening (2) in the laminated stator core (1), forms a bearing seat for a rotor shaft (10) and is composed of metal. In order to reduce the manufacturing complexity, with the aim at the same time to reduce the amount of noise developed and to improve the electrical insulation of the bearing seat, the invention proposes that the laminated stator core (1) and the metallic stator bushing (3) which is pressed into the laminated stator core (1) are at least partially surrounded by a extrusion coating (8), which is composed of plastic and forms the insulation (8).

A method of fabricating an integrated circuit (IC) including at least one drain extended MOS (DEMOS) transistor and ICs therefrom includes providing a substrate having a semiconductor surface, the semiconductor surface including at least a first surface region that provides a first dopant type. A patterned masking layer is formed on the first surface region, wherein at least one aperture in the masking layer is defined. The first surface region is etched to form at least one trench region corresponding to a position of the aperture. A dopant of a first dopant type is implanted to raise a concentration of the first dopant type in a first dopant type drift region located below the trench region. After the implanting, the trench region is filled with a dielectric fill material. A body region is then formed having a second dopant type in a portion of the first surface region. A gate dielectric is then formed over a surface of the body region and the first surface region. A patterned gate electrode layer is formed over the gate dielectric, a source region in the body region and a drain region in the first surface region on a side of the trench region opposite to the source are formed, and fabrication of the IC is completed.

Vessel perfusion and myocardial blush are determined by analyzing fluorescence signals obtained in a static region-of-interest (ROI) in a collection of fluorescence images of myocardial tissue. The blush value is determined from the total intensity of the intensity values of image elements located within the smallest contiguous range of image intensity values containing a predefined fraction of a total measured image intensity of all image elements within the ROI. Vessel (arterial) peak intensity is determined from image elements located within the ROI that have the smallest contiguous range of highest measured image intensity values and contain a predefined fraction of a total measured image intensity of all image elements within the ROI. Cardiac function can be established by comparing the time differential between the time of peak intensity in a blood vessel and that in a region of neighboring myocardial tissue both pre and post procedure.
