20090269558METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING SMALL STRUCTURES - The present invention relates to a method for producing small structures includes: depositing a mask on a surface of a substrate; and evaporating a source material under such evaporation condition performed at such pressure to form a layer onto both a shadowed surface area and a non-shadowed surface area of the mask and the substrate.10-29-2009
20090302235FLUORESCENT NON-METALLIC PARTICLES ENCAPSULATED IN A METALLIC COATING - The present invention relates to a particle comprising a non-metallic core having a fluorescent material and a metallic shell encapsulating the non-metallic core wherein the metallic shell has transparency for an electromagnetic radiation having a first wavelength to excite the said fluorescent material and reflectance for an electromagnetic radiation having a second wavelength emitted by the said fluorescent material to confine the electromagnetic radiation having the second wavelength in the metallic shell. This system allows for the excitation of optical cavity modes inside the particle even at sub-micron particle size. The cavity modes are extremely sensitive to any change of the dielectric environment of the particle. This sensitivity can be used for the construction of optical nano-biosensors. Another application of the system is that of a microscopic source for spherical light waves, which may find applications in digital inline holography and display technology.12-10-2009
20100086992BIOSENSOR, BIOSENSOR CHIP AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE BIOSENSOR CHIP FOR SENSING A TARGET MOLECULE - A biosensor chip for sensing a target molecule, includes: a substrate having a surface with a sensing area; and adhesive material for immobilizing a mollicute having a cell membrane on the sensing area. The chip may includes cell-resistant material for preventing the mollicute from being immobilized on those parts of the surface of the substrate that do not belong to the sensing area. Further, the adhesive material may comprise a first adhesive material for immobilizing a body of the mollicute on the sensing area and a second adhesive material for immobilizing a tip of the mollicute on the surface of the substrate.04-08-2010
