Abstract: A new, low temperature method for directly writing conductive metal traces with micron and sub-micron sized features. In this method, a flat beam is used, such as an AFM cantilever, with or without a tip, to draw traces of metal precursor ink onto a substrate. The dimensions of the metal traces can be directly controlled by the geometry of the cantilever, so that one can controllably deposit traces from 1 micron to over 100 microns wide with microfabricated cantilevers. Cantilevers with sharp tips can be used to further shrink the minimum features sizes to sub-micron scale. The height of the features can be increased by building layers of similar or different material. To obtain highly conductive and robust patterns with this deposition method, two general ink formulation strategies were designed. The key component of both ink systems is nanoparticles with diameters less than 100 nm. Because nanoparticles typically have significantly lower melting points than the bulk material, one can fuse, sinter, or coalesce collections of discrete particles into continuous (poly)crystalline films at very low temperatures (less than about 300 ~C, and as low as about 120 ~C). In the first strategy, one can disperse hydrocarbon-capped nanoparticles in a suitable solvent, deposit them on a surface in the form of a pattern, and then anneal the film by heating to form continuous metallic patterns. In the second strategy, one can deliver metal compounds to the surface in the presence of a reducing matrix and then form nanoparticles in situ by heating that subsequently coalesce to form continuous metallic patterns. In studies with platinum and gold inks, both nanoparticle-based methods yield micron sized traces on glass and oxidized silicon that have low resistivity (4 microohm.cm), and excellent adhesion properties.

Abstract: A method for pumping remote optically-pumped fiber amplifiers (ROPAs) in fiber~optic telecommunication systems is disclosed which uses cascaded Raman amplification to increase the maximum amount of pump power that can be delivered to the ROPA. According to the prior art, high power at the ROPA pump wavelength, .lambda.p, is launched directly into the fiber and the maximum launch power is limited by the onset of pump depletion by Raman noise and oscillations due to the high Raman gain at ~(.lambda.p +100) nm. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, a 'primary' pump source of wavelength shorter than .lambda.p is launched into the delivery fiber along with two or more significantly lower-power 'seed' sources, among which is included one at .lambda.p. The wavelength and power of the seed source(s) are chosen such that, when combined with the high-power primary source, a series, n, where n >= 2, of Raman conversions within the fiber ultimately leads to the development of high power at .lambda.p. In another embodiment, one or more of the seed sources at wavelengths shorter than .lambda.p are replaced by reflecting means to return, into the fiber, backward-travelling amplified spontaneous Raman scattered light resulting from high power in the fiber at a wavelength one Raman shift below the particular seed wavelength. In either case, the high power at .lambda.p is developed over a distributed length of the fiber, reaching its maximum some distance into the fiber and exceeding the maximum power possible at that point with the prior art.

Title: Method and apparatus for measuring cancerous changes from reflectance spectral measurements obtained during endoscopic imaging
Inventor: FAWZY YASSER SHERIF
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 2006-01-20
Granted: 2014-10-28
Abstract: The present invention provides a new method and device for disease detection, more particularly cancer detection, from the analysis of diffuse reflectance spectra measured in vivo during endoscopic imaging. The measured diffuse reflectance spectra are analyzed using a specially developed light-transport model and numerical method to derive quantitative parameters related to tissue physiology and morphology. The method also corrects the effects of the specular reflection and the varying distance between endoscope tip and tissue surface on the clinical reflectance measurements. The model allows us to obtain the absorption coefficient (µa) and further to derive the tissue micro-vascular blood volume fraction and the tissue blood oxygen saturation parameters. It also allows us to obtain the scattering coefficients (µs and g) and further to derive the tissue micro-particles volume fraction and size distribution parameters.

Abstract: A bed assembly (10) includes a frame (22) which supports four curved mattress support panels (50-56) which are able to move with pivoting of the various parts of the frame (22). The curved panels (50-56) better conform to a patient's body shape and provide an effective lengthening of the mattress support (50-56), particularly when the back rest (30, 50) is raised to a sitting position. The support panels (50-56) are located below the pivot points of the frame (22), which further enhances the lengthening effect. The assembly also includes first and second patient retention panels (80, 82) with complementary edges (92, 94) which can slide over one another. A key pad unit (100) protrudes from the retention panel (80) at a convenient patient position and can be gripped by a patient's hand.

Abstract: A method of transmitting data in a packet radio network to a mobile station (MS) performing a routing area update and wherein the network comprises at least a first support node (SGSN1) and a second support node (SGSN2). The first support node relays data from the packet radio network to the mobile station. In response to receiving from the second support node a request for the context data of the mobile station, which indicates a routing area update in respect of the mobile station, the first support node sends, from its memory, data addressed to the mobile station to the second support node. When the routing area is being updated, the first support node delays data transmission until a condition is fulfilled, wherein the condition is defined such that upon the fulfilment of the condition it is at least probable that the second support node has at its disposal the context data of the mobile station. The support node and the program carrier performing the routing area update are also described.

Abstract: A flash driver can be used by file systems and other applications to determine more detailed attributes and properties, such as region geometry, that describe the underlying flash component. This allows a file system, for example, to be made aware of each flash region and its properties. The file system may then be optimized to more efficiently utilize the flash component. These optimizations may lead to increased component longevity and better read/write performance.
