Abstract: A biomedical pressure sensing system comprising a contact lens; a flexible resonator embedded in the contact lens; and a measuring means for transmitting and receiving signals and measuring differences between the transmitted signal and the received signal.

Abstract: The invention relates a split-ring resonator-based strain sensor on flexible substrates for glaucoma detection. The purpose of this invention is to provide a sensor which is electrically passive, wireless and low cost to measure intraocular pressure. It measures intraocular pressure by placing a microwave resonator on top of contact lenses. The sensor that is a metallic ring can be placed on a contact lens using standard methods of metal deposition (sputtering, evaporation, etc.) using a shadow mask. The sensor on the lens does not require any electrical signal to operate and are interrogated by external antennas that can be located away from the contact lens. This is very advantageous to define flexible strain sensors that are required for applications as glaucoma detection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomolecular measurement system (1), which enables to measure the intermolecular forces arising from the interaction between two biomolecules or the intramolecular forces within a single biomolecule by using an atomic force microscope (AFM). In the present invention, the cantilever (2) is moved only when the actuator (4) moves the magnetic nanowire (3) and thus moves the molecule attached to the end of the magnetic nanowire (3). Since the cantilever (2) is not moved, fluctuation and disturbance is not created in the liquid containing the biomolecules. Thus, the measurements are made more accurately and with higher resolution. Additionally, by means of the actuator (4), the biomolecules are enabled to be moved upon exertion of magnetic force at any coordinate on x, y and z axes on the nanowire (3), or exertion of torque on two axes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to thermal detectors and the application of such to devices and methods of detecting the infrared images using thermal detectors. For example, by using optical measuring systems in combination with at least one light source to measure changes position of a movable anchored surface coupled to an absorption surface such that the movable anchored surface changes position due to absorption of infrared radiation by the absorption surface. In another example, by combining a detector pixel (infrared radiation sensitive) with an optical measuring device such as an interferometer.

Abstract: An atomic force microscopy system includes an imaging probe having a first thermal displacement constant and a sample placement surface. At least a portion of the sample placement surface has a second thermal displacement constant. The sample placement surface is spaced apart from the imaging probe at a predetermined displacement. The sample placement surface is configured so that the second thermal displacement constant matches the first thermal displacement constant so that when the imaging probe and the sample placement surface are subject to a predetermined temperature, both the portion of the sample placement surface and the imaging prove are displaced by a same distance.
