Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090084952Apparatus and method for scanning capacitance microscopy and spectroscopy - An apparatus and technique for measuring the electrical capacitance between a conducting tip of a scanning probe microscope and a sample surface is described. A high frequency digital vector network analyzer is connected to the probe tip of the cantilever of an atomic force microscope, and data collection is coordinated by a digital computer using digital trigger signals between the AFM controller and the vector network analyzer. Methods for imaging tip-sample capacitance and spectroscopic measurements at a single point on the sample are described. A method for system calibration is described.04-02-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110108723System and Method for Generating Sprays Using Electrical Fields - A device for generating sprays of charged droplets, and resulting nanoparticles, the device comprising a first needle connected to an electrical potential line to generate a first spray of charged particles from the first needle, and a second needle spaced apart from and facing the first needle, and connected to an electrical line configured to ground the second needle or to apply a voltage to the second needle that is the same polarity as the voltage applied to the first needle. The device also comprising an electric field modifier connected to the first needle, and configured to modify an electrical field to generate a second spray of charged particles from the second needle.05-12-2011
20110112469DEVICE AND PROCESS FOR DISPENSING MULTIPLE-PHASE MIXTURES - A device and method for delivering a multi-phase mixture of a composition dispersed in a gas, the device comprising an outer needle having an inlet opening configured to receive a supply of the composition, and an inner needle disposed within the outer needle, the inner needle comprising an inlet opening configured to receive a pressurized supply of the gas, where a tip of the inner needle is offset inward from a tip of the outer needle along a longitudinal axis by an offset distance.05-12-2011

Amir A. Sepehri, Mons BE

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110021939Method and Device for the Determination of Murmur Frequency Band - The present invention is related to a method for the determination of frequency band characteristic of a heart disease comprising the steps of: recording a first set of phonocardiograms from a first set of reference healthy patients, and a second set of phonocardiograms from a second set of patients suffering of said heart disease; calculating spectral energies of all possible frequency bands; comparing said spectral energies of all possible frequency bands for determining an optimized frequency band giving rise to the maximal distinction between spectral energies of the phonocardiograms from first and second set of phonocardiograms.01-27-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110189858METHOD FOR REDUCING PATTERN COLLAPSE IN HIGH ASPECT RATIO NANOSTRUCTURES - A method is provided for treating the surface of high aspect ratio nanostructures to help protect the delicate nanostructures during some of the rigorous processing involved in fabrication of semiconductor devices. A wafer containing high aspect ratio nanostructures is treated to make the surfaces of the nanostructures more hydrophobic. The treatment may include the application of a primer that chemically alters the surfaces of the nanostructures preventing them from getting damaged during subsequent wet clean processes. The wafer may then be further processed, for example a wet cleaning process followed by a drying process. The increased hydrophobicity of the nanostructures helps to reduce or prevent collapse of the nanostructures.08-04-2011
