Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090219508SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING LOCAL MECHANICAL STRESS IN INTEGREATED DEVICES - A method of detecting local mechanical stress in integrated devices is provided, the method comprising: enabling the detection of a photovoltage difference between a scan probe device and a surface portion of an integrated device, the scan probe device being configured to deflect in response to the photovoltage difference; measuring the deflection of the scan probe device in response to the photovoltage difference between the scan probe device and the surface portion of the integrated device; and calculating a local stress level within the integrated device by determining a local work function of the surface portion of the integrated device based upon the deflection of the scan probe device.09-03-2009

20100149529METHODS OF FABRICATING SURFACE ENHANCED RAMAN SCATTERING SUBSTRATES - A method of fabricating a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. In one embodiment, the method has the steps of simultaneously evaporating a metal at a first evaporation rate and a polymer at a second evaporation rate different from the first evaporation rate, to form a nanocomposite of the metal and the polymer, depositing the nanocomposite onto a substrate, and applying an etching process to the deposited nanocomposite on the substrate to remove the polymer material, thereby forming an SERS substrate.06-17-2010

20100310563METHODS FOR TREATING INDUCED CELLULAR PROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS - Methods are provided for treating a subject with a cellular proliferative disorder that include administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a JAK2 inhibitor and a therapeutically effective amount of a TNF-alpha inhibitor. In addition, methods are provided herein for determining if a subject with a cellular proliferative disorder would benefit from treatment with an agent that inhibits tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. Methods are also provided for identifying an agent of use in treating a subject with a cellular proliferative disorder or with a predisposition for cellular proliferative disorder. The methods include contacting an isolated cell expressing an activating mutation in the JAK2 protein with a test agent, and detecting the amount of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha produced by the cell.12-09-2010
