A protective cover for an electronic device includes a protective shell and a cushioning member configured for cushioning the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell. The protective cover includes a first opening configured to align with and expose at least a portion of a touch screen display of the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell. The protective cover also includes a second opening configured to align with a camera of the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell. The protective cover further includes an access port positioned to be proximate an electrical interface of the electronic device when the electronic device is disposed in the protective shell.

Defined nanoparticle cluster arrays (NCAs) with dimensions up to 25.4 m square are fabricated on a 10 nm gold film using template guided self-assembly. Structural parameters are precisely controlled, allowing systematic variation of the number of nanoparticles in the clusters (n) and edge to edge separation () between 1<n<20 and 50 nm1000 nm, respectively. Rayleigh scattering spectra and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal intensities as functions of n and reveal direct near-field coupling between the particles within individual clusters, whose strength increases with cluster size (n) until it saturates at around n=4. Strong near-field interactions between clusters significantly affects the SERS signal enhancement for edge-to-edge separations <200 nm. The NCAs support multiscale signal enhancement from simultaneous inter- and intra-cluster coupling and |E|-field enhancement. Applications include SERS-based spectral identification of bacteria.

One or more implementations of a multi-layer film include a first substantially un-pigmented layer non-continuously bonded to a second pigmented layer. The multi-layer film includes an unexpected appearance differing from the appearance of the pigmented layer. In one or more embodiments, the multi-layer film includes a metallic appearance despite the pigmented layer being devoid of metallic pigment. The multi-layer film also includes areas that are visually distinct from areas of the film with the unexpected appearance. The visually-distinct areas comprise areas in which the first substantially un-pigmented layer non-continuously bonded is in intimate contact with the second pigmented layer. The visually-distinct areas have the appearance of the pigmented layer. One or more implementations also include methods of making multi-layer films and bags with an unexpected appearance and visually-distinct areas.
