NOVEL COLOR 3D PRINTER BASED ON ENERGY-CURABLE COLOR COATING ON TRANSPARENT OR TRANSLUCENT BASE MATERIAL

The invention relates generally to a color 3D printer based on ultraviolet (UV) energy-curable high quality color coating on transparent or translucent base material. More particularly, the invention deals with the use of a Light Emitting Diode (LED) UV-curable ink-jet printing technique with high spatial and color selectivity for coating the base material deposited using additive manufacturing technology in a repeated process for building color 3D object. Each layer of the deposited base material is selectively colored with 2D pattern based on the required 3D color representation of the 3D object, either effectively inside the build volume or on the build surface, or both effectively inside the build volume and on the build surface of the 3D object. The colored 3D object formed using the method described in the present invention is capable of achieving high quality color rendering at relatively high spatial and color resolutions. 1. A color 3D printing apparatus based on high quality energy-curable color coating on build material , comprising:(a) a material extruder head for dispensing a build material;(b) an ink-jet print head for applying color coating on the said build material;(c) a holder for holding the 3D object;(d) a material and print head positioning stage for mounting and positioning the said material extruder head and UV-curable ink-jet print head at a minimum distance between them of at least equal to the diameter of the desired maximum diameter of the 3D object and designed to move in vertical up-down direction;(e) a build object positioning stage for mounting and positioning the said holder and designed to move in a direction that is perpendicular to the material and print head positioning stage below the material extruder and UV-curable ink-jet print head;wherein said ink-jet print head is UV curable.2. The system in claim 1 , wherein said build material is transparent.3. The system in claim 1 , wherein said build material is translucent.4. The ...

Ceramide-Rubusoside Nanomicelles and Their Use in Cancer Therapy

Water-soluble, cell-permeable nanomicelles containing ceramides and a steviol glycoside, such as rubusoside, are disclosed. The ceramide-steviol glycoside complex has high water solubility, and can be used for treating cancers with p53 mutations. Preliminary results have shown that the Cer nanomicelles are effective in restoring p53 protein expression, and that they are functionally dominant over p53 mutants. The novel nanomicelles restore a wild-type phenotype, and have very low toxicity to noncancerous cells. The novel Cer nanomicelles may be used in treating p53-associated cancers.

Rotational stage for high speed, large area scanning in focused beam systems

A mechanical scanning stage for high speed image acquisition in a focused beam system. The mechanical scanning stage preferably is a combination of four stages. A first stage provides linear motion. A second stage, above the first stage, provides rotational positioning. A third stage above the rotational stage is moveable in a first linear direction, and the fourth stage above the third stage is positionable in a second linear direction orthogonal to the first direction. The four stages are responsive to input from a controller programmed with a polar coordinate pixel addressing method, for positioning a specimen mounted on the mechanical stage to allow an applied static focus beam to irradiate selected areas of interest, thereby imaged by collecting signals from the specimen using a polar coordinate pixel addressing method.
