20100065756 | Nano-particle/quantum dot based optical diode - A particle based optical diode having at least two cavities or at least two regions of a single cavity, wherein the regions contain different types of particles. | 03-18-2010 |
20120314214 | Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy Having Enhanced Signal-to-Noise Ratio - A material can be analyzed using short pulses by applying a first pulse and a second pulse to the material in which the second pulse is delayed relative to the first pulse. The first and second pulses are directed toward a material along collinear paths, and the material is ablated using the first pulse to cause particles to be emitted from the surface of the material. The emitted particles are atomized and/or ionized using the second pulse, and the radiation from the atomized and/or ionized particles is analyzed. | 12-13-2012 |

20080286161 | Methods and Devices for Performing Chemical Reactions on a Solid Support - Apparatus and methods for carrying out biochemical processes directly on a substrate are provided. A substrate assembly includes a cartridge that removably supports a substrate in a fixed position, and a reaction containment member that is removably located on top of the substrate. The reaction containment member includes one or more cavities that form chambers directly above one or more target locations on the surface of the substrate. The chambers can be used to conduct biochemical processes directly over the substrate, as well as to perform thermal cycling of material contained inside the chamber using a heating element disposed directly on the substrate. The substrate assembly is preferably used in combination with a processing machine that dispenses materials into the chambers and that conducts biochemical reactions of materials contained within the chambers, without requiring the substrate assembly to be moved from one location to another location during the processes. | 11-20-2008 |
