| 20090107216 | DUAL-BAND MICRO-PLANAR INVERTED F ANTENNA USED FOR BIOMOLECULAR FINGER PRINT AND ITS IDENTIFICATION METHOD - The present invention relates to a dual-band micro-planar inverted F antenna (MPIFA), which is made based on a new type of printed circuit board (PCB), and its identification method to all different biomolecular concentration. This device works under 3 GHz and 7 GHz microwave frequency bands, and can predict the relationship for different absorbed biomolecular concentrations versus frequencies with the impedance value, dB(S(1,1)) parameter, and the variance of phase versus the frequency obtained from the measurement. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090161110 | METHOD FOR IMPROVING SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE BY USING CONDUCTING METAL OXIDE AS ADHESIVE LAYER - Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing technique which provides high specificity and accuracy has been an important method for molecular sensing technology. In the past, in order to affix 45 nm gold film onto glass or silicon substrate, several nanometers of chromium (Cr) or titanium (Ti) has been used as adhesive layer for the attachment of Au film. However, the existence of Cr or Ti thin film deteriorates the performance of SPR sensor due to their characteristic optical absorption. Our experimental results have confirmed the uses of conducting metal oxide, specifically, ITO and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) can be used to replace Cr or Ti for better performance in terms of SPR resonant properties (resonant angle and HMBW) and sensitivity enhancement for 3 to 15 times than traditional ones. It would contribute significantly to the SPR applications in both biosensors and gas sensors. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20100053625 | SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE METER - A surface plasmon resonance meter is provided, including a backlight module, a line-slot plate, a parabolic mirror, a linear polarizer, a sensing chip, a prism and a photo detector array. The line-slot plate includes a light outlet. A light beam travels in the backlight module, and leaves the backlight module through the light outlet. The position of the line-slot plate is matched on a predetermined focal point of the parabolic mirror. The light beam is reflected by the parabolic mirror to be a parallel light beam, and travels trough the linear polarizer to the prism. The prism includes a light entering surface, a detection surface and a light exiting surface. The light beam enters the prism through the light entering surface, contacts the sensing chip with total internal reflection, and finally leaves the prism through the light exiting surface to be received by the photo detector array. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100148633 | Ultrasound transducer with a dumbbell-shaped chamber - An ultrasound transducer has a cup-shaped casing. The cup-shaped casing has a sidewall. A cross section of an inner surface of the sidewall being perpendicular to a central axis of the ultrasound transducer substantially shows a dumbbell-shaped contour. The dumbbell-shaped contour has a pair of opposite straight-line sections being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the dumbbell-shaped contour and a pair of opposite arc sections being located respectively at two ends of the longitudinal axis of the dumbbell-shaped contour and respectively forming two enlarged portions of the dumbbell-shaped contour. Two ends of each arc section of the dumbbell-shaped contour respectively joint the straight-line sections through two curve sections and each curve section is connected to one end of the arc section and one straight-line section. At least one enlarged area of a dumbbell-shaped surface of an inside bottom surface has a recessed portion. | 06-17-2010 |
