Abstract: Fluidic nanotube devices are described in which a hydrophilic, non-carbon nanotube, has its ends fluidly coupled to reservoirs. Source and drain contacts are connected too opposing ends of the nanotube, or within each reservoir near the opening of the nanotube. The passage of molecular species can be sensed by measuring current flow (source-drain, ionic, or combination).  The tube interior can be functionalized by joining binding molecules so that different molecular species can be sensed by detecting current changes. The nanotube may be a semiconductor, wherein a tubular transistor is formed. A  gate electrode can be attached between source and drain to control current flow and ionic flow. By way of example an electrophoretic array embodiment is described, integrating MEMs switches. A variety of applications are described, such as: nanopores, nanocapillary devices, nanoelectrophoretic, DNA sequence detectors, immunosensors, thermoelectric devices, photonic devices, nanoscale fluidic bioseparators, imaging devices, and so forth.

Patent CA-2526171-A1 (CA)
Title: Shear assisted solid state weld and method of forming
Inventor: SHUTE DANIEL MARK
IPC: B23K20/02
Filed: 2004-06-07
Abstract: A shear-assisted solid state welding method for joining of metal parts (1,2), involves a first step of heating opposing surfaces (7,8) of the metal parts (1,2) in a non-passivating environment to a temperature in the hot working temperature range of the metal. A second step involves bringing the opposing surfaces (7,8) into contact while still in the hot working temperature range, and applying compressive stress sufficient to substantially prevent sliding in response to shear displacement, causing plastic flow in the hot layers. A  third step involves imposing relative shear displacement of the metal work pieces (1,2) without disengaging the opposing surfaces (7,8). The shear displacement induces plastic shear strain within the hot layers to progressively induce bonding.

IPC: B07C5/342
Filed: 2004-07-30
Abstract: A method to reduce lost postal revenue by identifying and sorting a mail piece by determining whether algorithmically-resolved image data corresponding to the mail piece indicates that the mail piece is business reply mail. The method is facilitated in part by maintaining data related to each business reply customer account. The business reply customer data is consulted and compared to a predetermined set of criteria to ascertain if the possibly incomplete, incorrect, or ambiguous data discernable from the captured image of the mail piece is indicative of, at a minimum, that the mail piece is business reply for the purpose of sortation to an appropriate business reply collection point, and in addition, that a high-confidence match to a customer account can be obtained for the purpose of automated charge assessment.  Machine-readable sortation signals are generated in accordance with the most refined level of sortation indicated by the consultation.
