A heating arrangement for generating heat includes a heating element that is both disposed between the reaction vessels and the detection arrangement and coupled thermally to the covers. The heating element includes an optically transparent substrate provided with one or more opaque heating lines, the heating lines being disposed in the emission beam path in a manner to obtain a predetermined minimum optical transmission of the heating element. A controller, set up to control cycling of the samples, is provided.06-09-2011

20080233830Diaphragm-type noise maker/whistling device - The present invention is a novelty item in the form of a noise maker/whistling device designed for the purpose of whistling in a great variety of sounds. It is taken fully into the mouth where it curves smoothly against the roof of the user's mouth. The noise maker is completely concealed from others which adds tremendous surprise. The invention consists of three components that preferably conform to FDA regulations: one or more diaphragm(s), a structural support and a triangular thin round-cornered paper carrier. The diaphragm(s) vibrates when impinged by pulmonary air exhausted by the user. The structural support comprises organic or non-organic material and surrounds the diaphragm(s). The structural support and diaphragm(s) are embodied inside the thin paper carrier. The item also preferably conforms to CPSC and International toy safety laws.09-25-2008

20090012204FUNCTIONALIZATION OF POLYMERS WITH REACTIVE SPECIES HAVING BOND-STABILIZED DECONTAMINATION ACTIVITY - Functionalized polymers and methods of functionalizing polymers with reactive species having decontaminating activity, such as polyoxometalates and metal oxides. Covalent bonding of the reactive species to the polymer securely immobilizes the reactive species and stabilizes the decontaminating activity of the reactive species. Specifically, the covalent bonding of the reactive species greatly reduces moisture deactivation during prolonged exposure to atmospheric moisture. Polyoxometalates are catalytically reactive through oxidative pathways and metal oxides are reactive through hydrolytic pathways. Both polyoxometalates and metal oxides having oxygen atoms available for covalent bonding with an appropriate bifunctional linking agent.01-08-2009

20080278708NANOCOMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR DIRECT SPECTROSCOPIC DETECTION OF CHEMICAL VAPORS - Method and material for spectroscopic detection of organic chemicals. The material is a substantially optically transparent solid, such as ZnS, having a high surface area for adsorption of an analyte, such as organic chemical vapors. The solid material preferably has metal nanoparticles, such as gold, silver or copper nanoparticles, deposited on the surface for signal enhancement. A template compound, such as cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and alkoxylate block polymers, may be used during the material synthesis, such as reacting zinc chloride and sodium sulfide in the presence of the template compound, and later removed through calcination and washing to achieve the high surface area. The method of use includes collecting an analyte on the material and detecting the spectroscopic response of the analyte while it is collected on the surface. The mechanism of collection may include adsorbing, absorbing, and preconcentrating. Preferably, the spectroscopic response is selected from infrared spectra or ultraviolet-visible spectra.11-13-2008

20080220612PROTECTION OF POLYMER SURFACES DURING MICRO-FABRICATION - A method of protecting a polymeric layer from contamination by a photoresist layer. The method includes: (a) forming a polymeric layer over a substrate; (b) forming a non-photoactive protection layer over the polymeric layer; (c) forming a photoresist layer over the protection layer; (d) exposing the photoresist layer to actinic radiation and developing the photoresist layer to form a patterned photoresist layer, thereby exposing regions of the protection layer; (e) etching through the protection layer and the polymeric layer where the protection layer is not protected by the patterned photoresist layer; (f) removing the patterned photoresist layer in a first removal process; and (g) removing the protection layer in a second removal process different from the first removal process.09-11-2008

20090155727METHOD OF FORMING A FLAT MEDIA TABLE FOR PROBE STORAGE DEVICE - A method of forming a flat media table for a probe-based storage device includes applying a first-photo-resistive coating to one side of a silicon wafer and a second photo-resistive coating to an opposite side of the silicon wafer. The silicon wafer includes a table layer, a suspension layer and a spacer layer sandwiched therebetween. The first photoresistive coating is applied to the table layer and the second photoresistive coating is applied to the suspension layer. A first pattern is formed through photolithography in the second photoresistive coating and etched into the suspension layer. A second pattern is formed through photolithography in the first photoresistive coating and etched into the table layer. A portion of the table layer is released from the suspension layer though selective etching of the spacer layer so as to form a plurality of stand-offs defined by remaining portions of the spacer layer.06-18-2009
