  • Publication number: 20090033692
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for dispensing liquid are disclosed. The method includes the steps of storing one or more liquids in a thermal inkjet print head and providing a well plate having at least one well. At least one of the liquids is dispensed from the thermal inkjet print head into at least one well. The volume of the dispensed liquid is a fraction of the total required volume of the liquid in the at least one well, and the dispensing step is performed multiple times to dispense the required volume of the at least one liquid in at least one well.

  • Patent number: 7388200
    Abstract: A sensing method includes exposing a nano-transducer having a controlled surface to a sample including at least one species. Adsorption of the species on the nano-transducer is transduced to a measurable signal as a function of time. Desorption of the species from the nano-transducer is also transduced to a measurable signal as a function of time. A residence time of the at least one species adsorbed on the nano-transducer is extracted from the measurable signals. The adsorption and desorption each define an individual measurable event.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7374968
    Abstract: A method of using a contact printing stamp, including forming a transfer material on a plurality of stamping surfaces. The plurality of stamping surfaces are disposed on a plurality of stamp protrusions adapted from the forming of a stamp material in a plurality of recessed regions formed in an exposed end-region of a multilayer thin film structure.

  • Patent number: 7335579
    Abstract: A memory device including a substrate, and multiple self-aligned nano-rectifying elements disposed over the substrate. Each nano-rectifying element has multiple first electrode lines, and multiple device structures disposed on the multiple first electrode lines forming the multiple self-aligned nano-rectifying elements. Each device structure has at least one lateral dimension less than about 75 nanometers. The memory device also includes multiple switching elements disposed over the device structures and self-aligned in at least one direction with the device structures. In addition, the memory device includes multiple second electrode lines disposed over, electrically coupled to, and self-aligned to the switching elements, whereby a memory device is formed.
