Abstract: The present invention pertains to an apparatus for imaging an object, comprising a probe via which an assay component may be delivered; a sensor to detect ion current; and means for controlling the position of the probe relative to the object in response to the ion current. Such apparatus can be used to image live cells, without affecting them, in solution, e.g., using light, wherein the distance between probe and cell is less than the wavelength of light.

Abstract: Techniques for etching a wafer layer using multiple layers of the same photoresistant material and structures formed using such techniques are provided. In a method, first, multiple layers of the same photoresist material are formed over the wafer layer to form a composite photoresist layer. The composite photoresist layer is patterned and developed to form a patterned photoresist layer. Exposed portions of the wafer layer are then removed using the patterned photoresist layer. Each of the multiple layers of photoresist may, for example, be formed to a maximum rated thickness for the photoresist material. Structures formed using this process may have relatively small dimensions (e.g., widths of 5 microns or less or a spacing or pitch of 5 microns or less). In addition, structures may also have sidewalls which are relatively long, smooth, and/or vertical.

Abstract: The upconverter mixer circuit comprises a Gilbert cell with
an LC-resonator (L1, C1) tuned to the output frequency of
the upconverter mixer circuit, and an output buffer. In a
preferred embodiment the output buffer comprises a
differential amplifier being emitter degenerated with
inductances (L2, L3) for a low-pass characteristic. The LC-resonator
of the Gilbert cell as well as the inductances of
the output amplifier are integrated in an integrated circuit
together with the other parts of the upconverter mixer
circuit and provide a first selection within the integrated
circuit for the subsequent stages, for example an
intermediate frequency filter of a double conversion TV
tuner. When the upconverter mixer circuit is operated with a
strong DC-current and hard switching, which is necessary for
achieving low noise, strong high frequency parasitic
currents are also generated. These are mainly harmonics of
the local oscillator frequency, which can be observed on the
supply lines and input and output lines of the integrated
circuit. The two stages of the upconverter mixer, the
Gilbert cell followed by the output buffer, provide
therefore a first intermediate filter to suppress parasitic
currents within the upconverter mixer circuit. This enables
to design a receiver with a large dynamic range and a high
linearity, and having a low noise, by using a strong DC
current and a hard mixer switching.

Abstract: In a messaging system, message traffic is transmitted on one or more
traffic channels (T1, T2 ) and the allocation of groups (S1, S2 ) of receivers to
the traffic channels (T1, T2 ) is controlled by information transmitted on a
bulletin board channel (BB). A predetermined number of frames before a
change in the traffic channel allocation, a countdown value is transmitted in the
relevant traffic channel (T1) and the countdown value is decremented in each
subsequent frame. Before the countdown value reaches zero, the groups of
receivers (S1, S2) retune to the bulletin board channel, receive their new
channel allocations and retune to the traffic channel indicated for their group. 
     The frame timings of the different traffic channels (T1, T2 ) are
staggered to reduce the peak power required to transmit message bursts in these
channels.

Abstract: A package having a re-sealable seal is formed from a flexible sheet having
its opposite longitudinal edge portions sealed together to form a tubular structure
with a permanent longitudinal seal. Two permanent end seals are formed
transversely across the tubular structure to seal the product inside the package. A
re-sealable seal is formed adjacent one of the permanent seals. The re-sealable seal
is formed by a pressure-sensitive adhesive applied to a first region of the inner
surface of the sheet proximate the one permanent seal and a heat seal coating
applied over the pressure-sensitive adhesive so as to cover the pressure-sensitive
adhesive, and a heat seal coating applied over a second region of the inner surface
of the sheet. The first and second regions of the inner surface are placed in contact
with each other and the heat seal coatings thereon are sealed together to initially
form the re-sealable seal. When the first and second regions of the sheet are pulled
apart upon opening of the package, the pressure-sensitive adhesive separates from
the first region and remains with the second region. The second region is pressed
against the first region to reclose the package.

Abstract: A World Wide Web (Web) user is enabled to readily distinguish
received hypertext documents of special in-terest from other received
hypertext documents when he is backtracking through a sequence of documents
received at a receiving display station during a particular browsing
session. The user is enabled to designate a received hypertext document to
be of special interest in an imple-mentation for tracking all hypertext
documents received at said receiving display station. The user may
inter-actively display a session history list of all tracked hypertext
documents received at said receiving display station during a Web access
session together with indica-tions on the displayed history list of the
documents designated to be of special interest. The indicating
implementation may highlight the documents of special interest, e.g. by
using a different color for the documents of interest. 
     The procedure is particularly effective in systems, which in the
interest of simplicity and brevity, identify the listed Web documents in
the session history list by only the higher level domains in the listed Web
documents' addresses. In such history lists, one or more domain levels are
left out of each listed received docu-ment's address to thereby render the
listed documents in-distinguishable from each other. With the present
inven-tion, the user has the benefit of highlighting to distin-guish the
Web documents of interest which might otherwise be indistinguishable from
the session history list alone.
