| 20120295068 | Synthetic Dry Adhesives - A method of forming synthetic dry adhesives is provided that includes using a wedge-shaped tool to form mold cavities in a mold, filling the mold cavities with an elastomeric adhesive, removing the elastomeric adhesive from the mold, where a tapered lamellar ridge extends from a surface of the elastomeric adhesive, treating a tip of the extending ridge with a film of uncured elastomeric material, and curing the film of uncured material while the extending ridge is pressed against a substrate surface having a smoothness or texture. The synthetic dry adhesive comprises a close-packed array of tapered lamellar ridges, where the centerline of a ridge is angled relative to a direction normal to the synthetic dry adhesive and the cross section includes an internal taper. The tapered ridge bends when it contacts a surface, whereupon the radius of curvature of the ridge increases monotonically with increasing shear load. | 11-22-2012 |

| 20100333240 | Fully Digitally Controller for Cantilever-Based Instruments - A controller for cantilever-based instruments, including atomic force microscopes, molecular force probe instruments, high-resolution profilometers and chemical or biological sensing probes. The controller samples the output of the photo-detector commonly used to detect cantilever deflection in these instruments with a very fast analog/digital converter (ADC). The resulting digitized representation of the output signal is then processed with field programmable gate arrays and digital signal processors without making use of analog electronics. Analog signal processing is inherently noisy while digital calculations are inherently “perfect” in that they do not add any random noise to the measured signal. Processing by field programmable gate arrays and digital signal processors maximizes the flexibility of the controller because it can be varied through programming means, without modification of the controller hardware. | 12-30-2010 |
