Chemical Micromachined Microsensors
US Patent:
7305883, Dec 11, 2007
Filed:
Oct 4, 2006

Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G01N 29/036
US Classification:
73579, 73597, 7386241
Abstract:
The present invention provides sensors based on micromachined ultrasonic transducer technology. The sensors preferably include a plurality of sensor elements, but may include only one sensor element. Arrays of sensors are also provided. Sensor elements include a functionalized membrane supported over a substrate by a support frame. The functionalized membrane, support frame and substrate together form a vacuum gap. The sensor element is connected to an electrical circuit, which is configured to operate the sensor element at or near an open circuit resonance condition. The mechanical resonance frequency of the functionalized membrane is responsive to binding of an agent to the membrane. Thus, the sensor element also includes a detector, where the detector provides a sensor output responsive to the mechanical resonance frequency of the sensor element.

US Classification:
422 50, 422 681, 422 83, 73 101, 73 102, 436 43, 436 63
Abstract:
Sensor system () for detecting a target substance in a reference liquid, comprising a measurement cantilever () being functionalized by application of a first coating to one of the measurement cantilever's surfaces, whereby this first coating is sensitive to the target substance. In addition, the system () comprises a reference cantilever () with a reference coating on one of the reference cantilever's surfaces, whereby this reference coating is less sensitive to the target substance than the first coating. Both cantilevers are arranged such that they can be exposed in a reference step to the reference liquid and in a detection step to the reference liquid with the target substance. A detector unit () is employed for determining the difference in the deflection of the measurement cantilever () and the reference cantilever () during the reference step and the detection step.

International Classification:
H01J 27/00
US Classification:
250424, 250423 R, 2504923, 2503412, 435 6, 435183, 435 911, 313 11, 313 15, 313 37
Abstract:
Ferroelectric, pyroelectric and piezoelectric crystals are used to generate spatially localized high energy (up to and exceeding 100 keV) electron and ion beams, which may be used in a wide variety of applications including pulsed neutron generation, therapeutic X-ray/electron devices, elemental analysis, local scanning chemical analysis, high energy scanning microscopy, point source compact transmission electron microscopy, compact ion beam sources, positron sources, micro-thrusters for ion engines, and improved fusion efficiency especially of the Farnsworth type. The high-energy emission can be created by simply heating the material or by application of external coercive electromagnetic and acoustic fields.
Method And Apparatus For Generating Nuclear Fusion Using Crystalline Materials
US Patent:
8396181, Mar 12, 2013
Filed:
May 8, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/745556
Inventors:
Brian Naranjo - Fullerton CA, US
James Gimzewski - Santa Monica CA, US

Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
G21G 4/02
US Classification:
376114, 376100
Abstract:
Gently heating a pyroelectric crystal in a deuterated atmosphere can generate fusion under desktop conditions. The electrostatic field of the crystal is used to generate and accelerate a deuteron beam (>100 keV and >4 nA), which, upon striking a deuterated target, produces a neutron flux over 400 times the background level. The presence of neutrons within the target is confirmed by pulse shape analysis and proton recoil spectroscopy. Several elements of the system may be modified, including the configuration of the crystal or crystals, the composition of the surrounding environment and the target, the use of multiple probe tips, and the composition of the probe tip.
