Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif microfabriqué utile pour la détection rapide d'ADN, de protéines ou d'autres molécules associées à une maladie particulière. Les dispositifs et procédés de l'invention peuvent servir au diagnostic simultané de multiples maladies par la détection de molécules (p. ex. quantités de molécules) telles que des polynucléotides (p. ex. ADN) ou des protéines (p. ex. anticorps), par la mesure du signal d'un rapporteur détectable associé à des polynucléotides hybridés ou à un complexe antigène/anticorps. Dans le dispositif microfabriqué de l'invention, la détection de la présence de molécules (c.-à-d. polynucléotides, protéines ou complexes antigène/anticorps) est corrélée à un signal d'hybridation provenant d'un rapporteur pouvant être détecté par des moyens optiques (p. ex. fluorescent), associé aux molécules liées. Ces signaux d'hybridation peuvent être détectés par n'importe quels moyens appropriés, par exemple optiques, et peuvent stockés par exemple dans un ordinateur comme représentation de la présence d'un gène particulier. Des sondes d'hybridation peuvent être immobilisées sur un substrat, qui soit fait partie intégrante d'un canal ou de plusieurs canaux du dispositif formant un circuit fermé, soit est exposé à celui/ceux-ci ; ce circuit servant à faire circuler l'échantillon pour le mettre activement en contact avec des sondes complémentaires. Des puces universelles de l'invention peuvent être fabriquées non seulement avec de l'ADN, mais aussi avec d'autres molécules telles que l'ARN, des protéines, PNA (acide nucléique de type peptidique) et des molécules de polyamide.

Title: Proximity sensor cable compensation using multiple frequencies
Inventor: DEMMA NICK A
IPC: G01V3/10
Filed: 2001-10-01
Abstract: A system and method for determining characteristics of a proximity sensor. According to a preferred embodiment, the admittance of a proximity sensor/cable assembly is measured at two frequencies. Assumptions about sensor characteristics and cable characteristic are made, and an admittance corresponding to the assumed characteristics is derived. The assumptions are adjusted to obtain a correspondence between the measured admittance and the derived admittance. When the assumptions have been updated a specified number of times or when a desired accuracy threshold has been met, the adjusted assumptions may be used to determine one or more sensor characteristics, such as the separation between the proximity sensor and the target object.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus is provided as a system to deliver a composition, preferably a medical or pharmaceutical composition or active, through the stratum corneum of skin, without introducing bleeding or damage to tissue, and absent pain or other trauma. The dimensions and shapes of the microelements are controlled so as to control the penetration depth into the skin. The microelements can be “hollow” such that passageways are created therethrough to allow the composition to flow from a chamber, through the microelements, and into the skin. Alternatively, the microelements can be “solid,” and the composition is applied directly to the skin just before or just after the microelements are applied to the skin surface to create the openings in the stratum corneum.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an air gap type Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) is
provided. The FBAR fabrication method includes: (a) depositing and patterning a
sub-electrode on a semiconductor substrate; (b) depositing and patterning a
piezoelectric material layer on the sub-electrode; (c) depositing and patterning an upper

characteristic information indicative of the
relationship between plural levels of the linear velocity and
target values of a parameter representative of a quality of
the recording, deriving velocity-power characteristic
information indicative of the relationship between the levels
of the linear velocity and optimal values of the power based
on both of the reproduction signal representative of the
result of the test recording and the velocity-parameter
characteristic information, and controlling the power of the
laser beam irradiated onto the optical disc in accordance
with the velocity-power characteristic information at the
