20080309688	Nanolithography with use of viewports - Two dimensional arrays of cantilevers for use in transferring inks from the cantilever tip to substrates are improved with use of viewports to view the cantilevers from a far side. This improves the leveling behavior when large numbers of cantilevers are present. It also provides for better laser access. Bioarrays and combinatorial applications are particularly important. Massively parallel direct write printing with more than 55,000 cantilever tips can be achieved.	12-18-2008
20090205091	Array and cantilever array leveling - Faster and better methods for leveling arrays including software and user interface for instruments. A method comprising: (i) providing at least one array of cantilevers supported by at least one support structure, (ii) providing at least one substrate, (iii) providing at least one instrument to control the position of the array with respect to the substrate, (iv) leveling the array with respect to the substrate, wherein the leveling is performed via a user interface on the instrument which is adapted to have the user input positional information from the motors and piezoelectric extender when at least one cantilever deflects from the substrate. Uniform z-displacements can be achieved.	08-13-2009

20100288543	CONDUCTING LINES, NANOPARTICLES, INKS, AND PATTERNING - Patterning and direct writing of nanoparticle inks formulated to provide conductive lines upon annealing. Patterning methods include stamp and tip based methods including microcontact printing and DPN printing. Ink viscosity, metal content, and density can be controlled to provide good results. Low temperature of annealing can be used to generate volume resistivities comparable to bulk resistivity. Long lines can be drawn. Addressable patterning can be achieved.	11-18-2010
20110014378	LEVELING DEVICES AND METHODS - Devices for leveling an object for patterning a substrate surface, including an array of scanning probe tips, are provided. A device may include a support structure adapted to mount an object, the object having a plurality of protrusions adapted to form a pattern on a surface of a substrate upon contact of the object to the surface; and at least one flexible joint assembly mounted to the support structure and adapted to allow the object to achieve a parallel orientation with respect to the surface upon contact of the object to the surface. Also provided are apparatuses and kits incorporating the devices and methods of making and using the devices and apparatuses.	01-20-2011

20080206790	Assay for determining the presence or amount of newly synthesized antibodies - The present invention provides a method of determining the presence or amount of newly synthesised antibody in a sample in response to an immunogen by detecting the released antibodies or parts thereof in a sample containing lymphocytes which have been disrupted whereby to release the synthesised antibodies or parts thereof associated with said lymphocytes whereby to determine the presence or amount of newly synthesised antibody in said sample, methods of diagnosis using said method and kits for performing the method. The method may also be modified to allow detection of non-specific infection indicators.	08-28-2008
