| 20110050214 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING MAGNETIC FIELD STRENGTH USING A MECHANICAL RESONATOR - Methods and apparatus for measuring magnetic field are provided. A resonator having a resonant frequency is that varies as a function of magnetic field is driven with a drive signal, and produces an output that is converted to electrical form. This output is then processed to isolate interference components due to the drive signal and to produce a sense signal. The sense signal is the processed to produce the drive signal. The sense signal is also processed to produce an output representative of the magnetic field. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20090027611 | Metal Nanoparticle and Use Thereof for Inducing Chirality in Liquid Crystal Phases - The invention provides a metal nanoparticle comprising a metal and a chiral and/or thiolate group bonded to the metal. The monolayer-protected metal nanoparticle may be used as a chiral dopant in a liquid crystal. Accordingly, the invention also provides a colloidal suspension or dispersion comprising a metal nanoparticle comprising a metal and a chiral and/or thiolate group bonded to the metal, and a liquid crystal. | 01-29-2009 |
