Patent CA-2367341-A1 (CA)
Title: Devices and methods for producing microarrays of biological samples
Inventor: WINEGARDEN NEIL A
IPC: B01L99/00
Filed: 2000-08-16
Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for producing microarrays of biological samples using an improved slide platform, vacuum manifold, and variable pin contact velocity. Slides onto which spotting pins produce the microarray of biological samples are secured on a flat slide platform using magnetic unit bars. The vacuum manifold effects optimal cleaning of the spotting pins by inducing increased air flow and turbulence. By reducing the velocity of the spotting pins before or after contact with the blot pad or the microarray slide, the morphology of biological samples deposited may be kept uniform. Similarly, low impact and separating velocities while acquiring biological materials prevent the pins from being overloaded with solution on the outside of the pin and causing sample wastage and non-uniform spotting.

Patent CA-2376060-A1 (CA)
Title: Heater wire for device such as impulse heat sealer
Inventor: SAKAMOTO ATSUNOBU
IPC: H05B3/54
Filed: 2000-01-07
Abstract: A heater wire which is applied to an impulse heat sealer, a bookbinding machine, a laminator, an image-creating device, and so on. A thin sheet of resistant material such as an iron-chromium alloy is further thinned by rolling, properly strengthened by quenching, and processed by photoetching so that the width of a heat-generating part is small and those of the electrodes are larger than that, thus integrally producing a heater wire. The heat-generating part of the heater wire is zigzag at such small intervals that the zigzag pattern disappears on a sealing line or plane because of heat diffusion, and the width of the zigzag is uniformly narrow and almost equal to that of the required shape. Therefore, the drawback on connection between the heat-generating part and electrodes is solved and the resistant wire is matched with the power supply voltage because of its relatively fine and long structure.

Title: Hybrid integration of active and passive optical components on an si-board
Inventor: POULSEN MOGENS RYSHOLT
IPC: G02B6/13
Filed: 2000-07-17
Abstract: The present invention relates to an assembly structure and a method for assembling active and passive photonic and/or optoelectronic devices on a silicon board. The invention relates in particular to an assembly structure and a method for aligning the photonic devices during the assembling procedure. According to the present invention, the assembly structure comprises one or more alignment features comprising tapered side surface parts in directions at least substantially parallel to an optical axis. By providing a tapering in a direction at least substantially parallel to the first optical axis, any inaccuracies primarily affects the non-critical positioning in the direction along the optical axis, whereas the critical positioning transverse to the optical axis merely depends on the symmetry of alignment features. The errors from the inherent inaccuracy of the position and shape of alignment features are thereby minimised. Also, the devices to be aligned are preferably arranged on top of the alignment features which forms part of the basic structure on the silicon board. All alignment features can thereby be defined in a single mask step together with the structures with which the alignment is to be carried out, resulting in an improved accuracy of the assembly structure. The resulting components will be used especially for broadband telecommunication components.
