  • Publication number: 20060263612
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrophilic surface structure of the non-hydrophilic substrate and the manufacturing method for using the same. The hydrophilic substrate surface structure is fabricated by forming an amphiphilic polymer layer, a cross-linked stacking layer, and a hydrophilic layer in sequence on the surface of a non-hydrophilic substrate. For example, the hydrophobic surface of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) can be made from hydrophobic to hydrophilic and the hydrophilicity can be retained for a long period of time and resist protein adsorption. The hydrophilic thin films give long term stability to the PDMS surface by resisting hydrophobicity recovery, which is the major problem with PDMS. The disclosed method can further be used in the immobilization of protein and other molecules. This method can also be used for modifying other substrates which suffer problems of surface instability.

  • Patent number: 6942777
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sample analysis system with chip-based electrophoresis device, particularly, the chip electrophoresis is connected to the dynamic flow-based auto-sampling device to introduce the sample into the chip-based electrophoresis device. By utilizing the derivatization biochemistry method to have a surface modification on the sample loading channel, it prevents the sample from being adhered to the wall of the sample loading channel, and hence increases the sample loading rate, reduces cross-contamination of samples and performs specific bio-reaction by using the immobilization of matter including antigen, antibody, protein, or enzyme. This invention makes use of the continuous split flow and electric voltage control to work with the detecting unit, signal collecting unit, and signal processing unit so that the sample undergoes a timely, fast, continuous analysis without having interference from the sample of other time.

  • Patent number: 6877102
    Abstract: A chipset to support multiple CPU's and a layout method thereof. Those independent signal lines for delivering high frequency clock signals of the chipset are isolated from using by other signals without being multiplexed. Trace length of the independent signal line is shorter than that of the others. The spaces between the independent signal line and others are also larger than that between other signal lines. Signal transmission quality is significantly upgraded because the high frequency clock signal is not multiplexed and isolated from others.

  • Publication number: 20050015612
    Abstract: A parent-children interactive intelligent management system for managing computer use authorization, time and operating system functions of users includes a computer device, a reading device and a memory device. When the memory device is inserted into the reading device, the computer device can process data management for data in the memory device and settings. When a child inserts the memory card into the reading device, the child can only use the operating system according to the set conditions in the memory card. Thus computer use time of the child may be restricted to prevent the child from accessing undesirable Web sites. The parent can leave messages and inquire the child about computer use status to enhance the interactive relationship between the parent and the child.

  • Patent number: 6696763
    Abstract: A solder ball allocation on a chip, and a method of the same are provided. The chip has a substrate, first solder balls and second solder balls. The first solder balls are located on a periphery of the substrate and arranged outwardly. The second solder balls are located in a central part of the substrate and arranged with several first geometric patterns that construct a second geometric pattern. The first geometric patterns are also arranged to divide the chip into several power source blocks. The conflict between the second solder balls and the power source blocks are analyzed to remove the second solder balls with conflicts. The power line can go through the middle directly to avoid the power source bypass, or other reasons that cause the chip unable to work stable. The invention divides the chip into several power source blocks without increase the chip volume and cost.

  • Patent number: 4957781
    Abstract: A processing apparatus includes a processing chamber and an insertion jig for inserting an object to be processed into the processing chamber. The processing chamber and the insertion jig are adapted to be individually movable relative to a heating section, so that the operation of loading and unloading the object into and from the processing chamber effected by the insertion jig is conducted outside the heating section, thereby preventing the outside air from being induced to enter the heated processing chamber, together with the object of the processing, and thus avoiding the occurrence of various problems, for example, the object of processing being disorderly oxidized by the oxygen contained in the outside air, and the foreign matter contained in the outside air being undesirably attached to the surface of the object, so as to obtain excellent processing results.
