Abstract: An apparatus and method for sensing chemical and/or biological analytes includes a deflectable arm of a microcantilever at least partially embedded within a sensing element. A gaseous or liquid medium which may include the analyte being detected is introduced to the sensing element. The sensing element undergoes volumetric expansion or contraction in the presence of the analyte sought to be detected, typically by adsorbing the analyte. The volumetric change of the sensing element causes the deflectable arm to deflect. The deflectable arm includes at least one measurable physical property which changes when the arm deflects. Detecting means are provided to measure the change in the physical property to determine the presence and amount of analyte present. An array of microcantilevers in which each microcantilever is dedicated to detecting a particular analyte which may be included in the medium, is also provided.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a plasma display panel (PDP) and in a PDP manufactured by that method, electrodes are formed on a panel substrate using an offset printing technique. Furthermore, in the method, a gravure groove having a predetermined pattern is filled with a nonconductive opaque-colored paste. The nonconductive opaque-colored paste is transcribed from the gravure groove onto a first substrate via a printing blanket such that the paste is targeted at a non-discharge region between adjacent transparent electrodes. Similarly, a bus electrode paste is transcribed onto the transparent electrodes. The paste patterns are dried and fired. A dielectric layer is formed on the patterns, thereby completing a front substrate. A rear substrate is aligned with the front substrate, and a discharge gas is injected between the substrates, followed by sealing of the substrates to each other. <IMAGE>
