Title: Molecularly imprinted materials, method for their preparation and devices employing such materials
Inventor: YAN MINGDI
IPC: C08F8/34
Filed: 1996-06-07
Abstract: A molecularly imprinted substrate and sensors employing the imprinted substrate for detecting the presence or absence of analytes are described. One embodiment of the invention comprises first forming a solution comprising a solvent and (a) a polymeric material capable of undergoing an addition reaction with a nitrene, (b) a cross-linking agent, (c) a functionalizing monomer and (d) an imprinting molecule. A silicon wafer is spincoated with the solution. The solvent is evaporated to form a film on the silicon wafer. The film is exposed to an energy source to cross-link the substrate, and the imprinting molecule in then extracted from the film. The invention can be used to detect an analyte by forming films which are then exposed to a reaction energy to form a cross-linked substrate. The imprinting molecules are extracted from the cross-linked substrate. The film is exposed to one or more of the imprinting molecules for a period of time sufficient to couple the imprinting molecules to the film. The presence of the molecules is then detected. The invention also provides a molecularly imprinted polymeric material and sensors employing the molecularly imprinted polymeric material.

Abstract: A flash steam generator to be used as an integral component of a steam sterilizer. The generator is constructed of a metal block having a first bore drilled lengthwise through the metal block. Surrounding the first bore are a plurality of additional heater bores in which heating elements are inserted. The generator is integral to the sterilizer piping and control systems. Water is supplied to the first bore by the sterilizer piping system, and electricity is supplied to the heating elements by the sterilizer power supply. The heating elements convert the electricity to heat, which transfers via the metal block to the first bore where the heat rapidly boils the water contained therein in what is essentially a flash vaporization process.

Abstract: Polymère électroconducteur constitué d'un produit de réaction d'un dendrimère et d'un composé électrophorétique qui présente un empilage en pi lors d'une réduction. Le produit de réaction qui est un dendrimère modifié en périphérie est formé puis réduit, soit chimiquement soit électrochimiquement, dans un solvant polaire. Les fractions électrophorétique réduites s'aggrègent (formes des piles en  pi ) pour donner des cheminements électriquement conducteurs. Les dendrimères modifiés en périphérie et réduits visés de cette invention peuvent être moulés sous la forme de films et sous d'autres formes solides pour produire des conducteurs électriques et des semi-conducteurs souples. Les polymères conducteurs de cette invention présentent des conductivités électriques comparables à celle d'un polyacétylène dopé, mais sont résistants à l'oxygène et à l'humidité.

Abstract: A miniature atomic frequency standard utilizes a tubular vapor cell extending transversely through a TE210 microwave cavity. In one embodiment of the invention, the vapor cell is heated directly by electric heaters secured to ends of the tubular vapor cell which extend outside the microwave cavity. The vapor cell is insulated by thermal insulation inside the microwave cavity and between the microwave cavity and a magnetic shield. In another embodiment of the invention, the entire microwave cavity is heated which eliminates the need for thermal insulation inside the cavity and thus it can be made smaller, but additional thermal insulation is provided between the microwave cavity and the magnetic shield. Preferably, the C-field coil is wound on the thermal insulation just inside the magnetic shield to reduce heat loss by conduction. A laser diode outside the magnetic shield transmits light to the vapor cell through optic fiber without need for a collimating lens and a photodiode with an integral lens is used as the detector.

Abstract: Thin film transistor-liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) are driven to compensate for voltage drops on a common electrode, and to thereby reduce or eliminate crose-talk. The TFT-LCD includes a plurality of liquid crystal cells and a plurality of thin film transistors, a respective pair of which is serially connected between a common electrode and a plurality of drivers. A sensor senses a voltage drop on the common electrode. A compensator is responsive to the sensor, to provide at least one driver signal level to the plurality of drivers, which are a function of the sensed voltage drop on the common electrode. Distortions in the liquid crystal cells which are caused by the voltage drop on the common electrode may thereby be reduced or eliminated. Improved TFT-LCDs and driving circuits and methods are thereby provided.

Abstract: A slave device (9), connected directly to a
system bus (2), which system bus requests the execution
of a complex communication protocol, is controlled by
another device (18), connected to the system bus, which
identifies the slave device as the target of a
transaction on the system bus, executes the communication
protocol and sends to the slave device through an
auxiliary interface (19) a first identification signal
(DEV_DEC), a second signal (DEV_ACK) for instructing
execution of the transaction, and receives from the slave
device, through the auxiliary interface, a transaction
executed signal DEV_EDT. 
     In this way the interface logic of the slave
device is reduced to the minimum since the slave device
is not required to execute the communication protocol.
