Enhanced electroluminescent sign

An enhanced electroluminescent sign containing a volumetric, anisotropic scattering element to control the angular spread of light from the sign and the spatial luminance uniformity of the sign. The anisotropic scattering element contains one or more regions of asymmetrically-shaped light scattering particles. The angular spread of light leaving a sign from a light emitting source can be efficiently controlled by using a thin, low cost, volumetric, anisotropic scattering elements to angularly and spatially distribute light, permitting the reduction in number of light sources, a reduction in power requirements, or a more tailored viewing angle.

The present invention provides methods and compositions that enable tagging and amplification of targeted RNA molecules. A targeted RNA molecule is any non-polyadenylated RNA molecule including, for example, miRNA, siRNA, rRNA, tRNA, synthetic RNA, or non-polyadenylated mRNA such as mRNA from bacteria. In certain aspects, the invention provides methods and compositions for the genome-wide expression analysis of bacterial genes. Significantly, the methods enable genome-wide expression analysis in circumstances where bacterial numbers were previously too low to purify adequate amounts of RNA for DNA microarray analysis or other applications. Such methods are particularly useful for the study of bacterial gene expression during host-cell infection. The invention also provides kits for tagging and amplifying targeted RNA molecules.

Laser irradiation apparatus and method of manufacturing semiconductor device

The present invention provides the laser irradiation apparatus that has a galvanometer mirror and an f-θ lens optical system, can offset the change of the energy due to the transmittance change of the f-θ lens, and can scan a laser beam while the change of the energy on a substrate is suppressed. Further, the laser beam energy that is incident on the lens is controlled in advance by combining the optical system changing the branching ratio of polarization of the laser beam and the optical system having dependence on direction of polarization of the laser beam and changed continuously according to the transmittance of the lens on which the laser beam is incident. The laser energy is controlled to offset the transmittance of the lens, and thereby energy fluctuation of the laser beam irradiation of a substrate can be prevented.
