Patent number: 9704101Abstract: A quantum device is provided that includes controllably quantum mechanically coupled dangling bonds extending from a surface of a semiconductor material. Each of the controllably quantum mechanically coupled dangling bonds has a separation of at least one atom of the semiconductor material. At least one electrode is provided for selectively modifying an electronic state of the controllably quantum mechanically coupled dangling bonds. By providing at least one additional electron within the controllably quantum mechanically coupled dangling bonds with the proviso that there exists at least one unoccupied dangling bond for each one additional electron present, the inventive device is operable at least to 293 degrees Kelvin and is largely immune to stray electrostatic perturbations. Room temperature operable quantum cellular automata and qubits are constructed therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2016Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignees: National Research Council of Canada, The Governors of the University of AlbertaInventors: Gino A.

Publication number: 20100041683Abstract: Compounds, preferably 5-pyrimidinol and 3-pyridinol derivatives, that act as effective chain breaking antioxidants of both the lipid and water-soluble variety (analogous to the natural Vitamins E and C), many of which are more reactive toward peroxyl radicals than the most potent form of Vitamin E. These compounds may exhibit many chemopreventive effects associated with conditions in which free radical-mediated cellular damage or disruption is implicated and Vitamins E and C are shown to have protective effects. Additionally, these compounds should be excellent oxidation inhibitors as additives to fuels, lubricants, rubber, polymers, chemicals, solvents and foodstuffs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2009Publication date: February 18, 2010Inventors: Derek A.

Electronics are provided to measure the conductivity via the sensing species. A temporally controlled atomic scale transistor is provided by biasing a substrate to a substrate voltage with respect to ground. A dangling bond extending from a substrate atom has a charge state from among a charge state group. The charge state varies in units of single electron addition or withdrawal. A grounded electrical contact is provided within a localized electronic charge in proximity to the dangling bond. A sensing species having an electronic conductivity is also placed in proximity to the dangling bond.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 8, 2006Publication date: August 14, 2008Inventors: Robert A.
