20090116007QUANTUM DOT CONJUGATES IN A SUB-MICROMETER FLUIDIC CHANNEL - A nanofluidic channel fabricated in fused silica with an approximately 500 nm square cross section was used to isolate, detect and identify individual quantum dot conjugates. The channel enables the rapid detection of every fluorescent entity in solution. A laser of selected wavelength was used to excite multiple species of quantum dots and organic molecules, and the emission spectra were resolved without significant signal rejection. Quantum dots were then conjugated with organic molecules and detected to demonstrate efficient multicolor detection. PCH was used to analyze coincident detection and to characterize the degree of binding. The use of a small fluidic channel to detect quantum dots as fluorescent labels was shown to be an efficient technique for multiplexed single molecule studies. Detection of single molecule binding events has a variety of applications including high throughput immunoassays.05-07-2009

20100110616Disconnect switch with overcurrent device and enclosure for reduced hazard - A disconnect switch and an overcurrent protection device are combined in a single enclosure which has two isolated compartments, with independent access to each compartment. The enclosure is adapted for mounting on a vertical surface (suitable for mounting on a wall). The disconnect switch is contained within a first compartment, and the overcurrent protection device is contained within a second compartment. Interconnecting conductors connect the disconnect switch to the overcurrent protection device through an enclosure wall which separates the two compartments. After installation in an electric power system, when the disconnect switch is in the OFF position, shock hazards and arc-flash hazards are present only within the compartment containing the disconnect switch. The compartment containing the overcurrent protection device is completely de-energized, and can therefore be safely accessed for maintenance, inspection, and testing.05-06-2010
