| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8124032 | Microfluidic device and method of using same The invention relates to a microfluidic device comprising one or more fluid channels, one or more fluid ports, and a V-shaped particle retention structure. The fluid channel is generally opposite the particle retention structure, fluid ports are located between the ... | 02/28/2012 |
| 8009209 | Methods and apparatus for detecting defects in imaging arrays by image analysis Methods for detecting defective pixels in imaging arrays involve establishing probabilities that individual pixels are defective and updating those probabilities by analysing images acquired by the imaging arrays. Probabilities may be evaluated for each of two or mo... | 08/30/2011 |
| 7962318 | Methods for optimizing system models and the like using least absolute value estimations Methods are provided for fitting a curve to a set of data values using a least absolute value (LAV) cost function. The set of data values may comprise m sets of data values. The method takes advantage of contraction mapping to determine a number n | 06/14/2011 |
| 7943301 | DNA conformational switches as sensitive electronic sensors of analytes The electrical conductivity of DNA and other oligonucleotide constructs is dependent on its conformational state. Such a dependence may be harnessed for the electronic sensing of external analytes, for instance, adenosine. Such a DNA sensor incorporates an analyte r... | 05/17/2011 |
| 7936240 | Lithographically controlled curvature for MEMS devices and antennas Lithographically fabricated apparatus are provided. The apparatus are capable of self-assembly to extend at least in part in an out-of-plane direction. A cantilever arm is anchored to a substrate at one of its ends and fabricated to provide a cantilever portion that... | 05/03/2011 |
| 7824920 | Method of mass spectrometric analysis from closely packed microspots by their simultaneous laser irradiation This application relates to a process for controllably placing two or more microspots on a target substrate in close proximity to one another. The microspots may then be simultaneously irradiated and the resulting ions detected by mass spectrometry, such as time of ... | 11/02/2010 |
| 7427529 | Deposition of permanent polymer structures for OLED fabrication A light emitting display comprising a first electrode layer on a substrate. The electrode layer is patterned to form a plurality of laterally spaced apart strips in a first direction. A plurality of spacedly disposed light emitting organic elements with a second ele... | 09/23/2008 |
| 7353593 | Method for assembling micro structures A method for making three-dimensional structures comprises providing a plurality of components, each of which is moveably coupled to a substrate. The components may be pivotally coupled to the substrate by one or more micromachined hinges. The components are moved u... | 04/08/2008 |
