Abstract: A method for conducting a broad range of biochemical analyses or manipulatio ns on a series of nano- to subnanoliter reaction volumes and an apparatus for carrying out the same are disclosed. The method and apparatus are implemente d on a fluidic microchip to provide high serial throughput. The method and device of the invention also lend themselves to multiple parallel analyses a nd manipulation to provide greater throughput for the generation of biochemical information. In particular, the disclosed device is a microfabricated channe l device that can manipulate nanoliter or subnanoliter biochemical reaction volumes in a controlled manner to produce results at rates of 1 to 10 Hz per channel. The individual reaction volumes are manipulated in serial fashion analogous to a digital shift register. The method and apparatus according to this invention have application to such problems as screening molecular or cellular targets using single beads from split-synthesis combinatorial libraries, screening single cells for RNA or protein expression, genetic diagnostic screening at the single cell level, or performing single cell signal transduction studies.

Abstract: Systems and methods for locating and defining a target_(M) location within a human body. The system can include at least one marker_(30,_1100), a probe (1200), and a detector (34) for use in locating the markers (30, 1100) by providing information to a surgeon that is representative of changes in proximity between the probe (1200) and the marker (30, 1100). The marker (30,1100) can have various detection characteristics, e.g., gamma radiation, that are detectable by an associated probe (1200) and detector (34). The tissue volume (T) is removed by manipulating a cutting tool based on the proximity information provided by the detector (34), which can be used by the surgeon to define the boundary of the tissue volume (T). The systems and methods of the invention and particularly useful in locating and then removing a tissue volume (T) or other target location from amorphous, pliable tissue (e.g., breast tissue) or other body parts.

Inventor: FLATSCHER GEORG
IPC: G01B11/02
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: A supportive substrate (11) carries areas of first and second types (12, 13). The first type (12) comprises layers (15, 16) of differing refractive index (n1, n2) acting as an interference filter. The second type (13) comprise an absorption layer (14) of low reflectivity, on the substrate. An Independent claim is included for the method of manufacture of the device. A first, low refractive index layer is applied to the substrate and structured to differentiate the areas. Over the entire area, a second layer is applied. This has a markedly greater refractive index than the first layer. Preferred features: The reflective substrate is polished steel. The absorbing layer and the uppermost layer (16) of the highly reflective region (12) are comprised of identical materials. Material of the absorbing and reflective layers, has an absorption coefficient k of 0.1-0.5. Layers (15, 16) of the highly-reflective regions have considerably differing refractive index, the first layer (15) being directly on the reflective substrate, and having the smaller refractive index (n1). The second of these layers has a refractive index n2, no less than 2.2. Thickness d2 of the second layer (16) is 30 - 50 nm. Refractive index of the first layer is between 1.3 and 1.7. Thickness of the first layer is 100-150 nm. The highly-reflective region has a dielectric reflection-interference filter construction. PVD (plasma vapor deposition) is employed for overall coating, photolithography being employed for structuring. The second layer is produced by PVD. In a first stage, the substrate is completely coated with a photo-lacquer. This is structured, leaving regions with and without this coating. To structure the first layer after lacquering, regions are removed where photo-lacquer and the first layer coexist.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for measuring
the thickness of a copper oxide layer (S 2 ) formed on an
underlying copper layer (S 1 ). The method either measures a
bulk characteristic of the copper layer, through the copper
oxide layer (as in the case of sheet resistance) or
determines the thickness of the copper oxide by measuring
the attenuation caused by the copper oxide, which is a
monotonic function of the thickness of the copper oxide
layer (as in the case of reflectivity). A processor (15)
stores correlated data (e.g., reflectivity measurements
obtained for various copper oxide thicknesses) or a
relationship (e.g., a formula) which correlates a given
measurement to a given copper oxide thickness. The method
may be used in situ or ex situ and
during either vacuum or non-vacuum processes.

Abstract: A virtual filesystem 10 for allowing a large number of data files 18 to be created,
deleted, and rearranged by a peripheral device 50 incorporating the filesystem 10 without
requiring the host computer system to delete and rebuild its cache and other file system
tables. Since the directory hierarchy 20 of the virtual filesystem 10 is predefined, data
blocks 2 in the directory and file allocation table regions  32,36  of the filesystem's
filespace do not need to be prestored in memory, but rather are calculable at the time a
data block read request is processed by the virtual filesystem 10. Since the specific
location in the filesystem 10 of a file 26 is determined only at the time that one of a set of
lowest-level directories 25 which contains the file 26 is accessed, host caching problems
can be avoided by predefining a large number of files in the filesystem 10 and avoiding
reuse of any previously-used file. The data blocks 2 of a file can be dynamically
generated upon request, or can be aliased to corresponding data blocks of an auxiliary file
system 70.
