Abstract: An air-floating thin film bonding apparatus and its air-floating roller is provided. The apparatus is composed of an air-floating rollers, which can blow out airflow at a specific angle to be applied to the base film with three-dimensional obstacles. The positive pressure provided by the airflow can be utilized to fill the gap space caused by the three-dimensional obstacles. Therefore, the base film can bond to the bonding film tightly to overcome the wrinkles and defects caused by the three-dimensional obstacle and the problem of unflatness of the film-bonding can be solved.

Abstract: An optical waveguide SPR sensor is adapted for differential measurement. The optical waveguide SPR sensor includes a base, a bottom layer, and at least one set of optical waveguide layers. The set of the optical waveguide layers includes a measuring optical waveguide channel and a reference optical waveguide channel. The measuring optical waveguide channel includes an SPR sensing film layer. The measuring optical waveguide channel and the reference optical waveguide channel are independently configured and substantially parallel one to another. The bottom layer has a refractive index higher than a refractive index of the optical waveguide layer.

Abstract: A simultaneous detection, differentiation and typing system of Newcastle disease and avian influenza viruses is provided. The present invention provides a system, including an oligonucleotide microarray, avian virus specific probes is disposed on the oligonucleotide microarray and the avian viruses include Newcastle disease and avian influenza viruses, and avian virus nucleic acid products, hybridized with the avian virus specific probes on the oligonucleotide microarray. The present invention describes a fast, simultaneous and inexpensive approach to the detection of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and avian influenza virus (AIV) and possesses good sensitivity and specificity among divergent viruses. The hybridization results on microarrays were clearly identified with the naked eyes, with no further imaging equipment needed. The present invention provides potential for rapid surveillance and differential diagnosis of these two important zoonoses in both wild and domestic birds.

Abstract: A method for preventing clouding of a lens employed in a high-temperature oxidizing environment, an example of which is a lens of a pyrometer used to sense exhaust gas temperature (EGT) of a gas turbine engine. Clouding is prevented by inhibiting the generation of volatile oxide species that react with high-temperature lens materials, forming deposits including oxides of chromium, molybdenum and other elements having volatile oxide species. The method is particularly directed to a pyrometer whose lens is formed of sapphire (alumina) or silica, and is mounted within a structure formed of a material containing chromium and/or molybdenum, such as a superalloy or stainless steel. The method entails forming an alumina scale-forming barrier coating such as a diffusion aluminide on surfaces of the structure that are subject to oxidation and high temperatures.
