  • Publication number: 20090161110
    Abstract: Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing technique which provides high specificity and accuracy has been an important method for molecular sensing technology. In the past, in order to affix 45 nm gold film onto glass or silicon substrate, several nanometers of chromium (Cr) or titanium (Ti) has been used as adhesive layer for the attachment of Au film. However, the existence of Cr or Ti thin film deteriorates the performance of SPR sensor due to their characteristic optical absorption. Our experimental results have confirmed the uses of conducting metal oxide, specifically, ITO and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) can be used to replace Cr or Ti for better performance in terms of SPR resonant properties (resonant angle and HMBW) and sensitivity enhancement for 3 to 15 times than traditional ones. It would contribute significantly to the SPR applications in both biosensors and gas sensors.

  • Patent number: 7291026
    Abstract: A memory card connector includes an insulative housing having a terminal-mounting section which mounts a plurality of conductive terminals having contact portions for engaging appropriate contacts on a memory card. The housing at least in part defines a card-receiving cavity for receiving the memory card. A card eject mechanism includes a slider movably mounted on the housing. The slider is engageable with the memory card for movement therewith into and out of the cavity. The card eject mechanism includes an ejection spring to bias the slider and memory card in an ejection direction. The slider has an elongated guide slot between a pair of opposite parallel side walls extending longitudinally in the direction of movement of the slider. A shielding metal shell is mounted on the housing and includes an elongated guide tab projecting into the guide slot. The guide tab has opposite longitudinal planar surfaces opposing the side walls of the slot.

  • Patent number: 7101206
    Abstract: A memory card connector includes an insulative housing having a rear terminal-mounting section and at least one side wall section extending forwardly from one end of the rear section defining a card-receiving space therebetween. A first conductive terminal is mounted on the housing and has a first contact portion with a first protrusion thereon. A second conductive terminal is mounted on the housing and has a second contact portion with a second protrusion thereon. The contact portions of the terminals are normally spaced from each other but are juxtaposed so that the contact portions and the protrusions are mutually engaged in response to a memory card inserted into the card-receiving space. The protrusions are offset from each other, whereby the first protrusion of the first terminal engages the second contact portion of the second terminal, and the second protrusion of the second terminal engages the first contact portion of the first terminal.
