  • Patent number: 10751986
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards systems for transferring graphene from the surface of one substrate to another. In one particular embodiment, the graphene layer is grown on a surface of a first substrate, where the bottom of the first substrate is then affixed to the surface of a second substrate. The second substrate may include material made of a rigid or semi-rigid composition to provide structural support and backing to the first substrate. The graphene layer may then be delaminated from the first substrate and transferred to a target surface, such as the surface of an electronic device or biosensor.

  • Patent number: 10666273
    Abstract: A system includes a very low frequency (VLF) antenna connected to a circuit that has a high pass filter and a low pass filter. The circuit is configured for noise reduction and frequency localization of detected VLF signals. A receiver is configured to receive filtered VLF signals output by the circuit and to separate desired signals for processing. A display is configured to provide a user with visual feedback based at least in part on an even signature extracted by a digital signal processor (DSP).

  • Patent number: 10494670
    Abstract: Provided herein are devices, systems, and methods of employing the same for the performance of bioinformatics analysis. The apparatuses and methods of the disclosure are directed in part to large scale graphene FET sensors, arrays, and integrated circuits employing the same for analyte measurements. The present GFET sensors, arrays, and integrated circuits may be fabricated using conventional CMOS processing techniques based on improved GFET pixel and array designs that increase measurement sensitivity and accuracy, and at the same time facilitate significantly small pixel sizes and dense GFET sensor based arrays. Improved fabrication techniques employing graphene as a reaction layer provide for rapid data acquisition from small sensors to large and dense arrays of sensors. Such arrays may be employed to detect a presence and/or concentration changes of various analyte types in a wide variety of chemical and/or biological processes, including DNA hybridization and/or sequencing reactions.

  • Patent number: 10429342
    Abstract: A chemically-sensitive field effect transistor is disclosed herein. The chemically-sensitive field effect transistor comprises a CMOS structure comprising a conductive source and a conductive drain, a channel and an analyte-sensitive dielectric layer. The channel extends from the conductive source to the conductive drain. The channel is composed of a one-dimensional transistor material or a two-dimensional transistor material. The analyte-sensitive dielectric layer is disposed over the channel. An I-V curve or an I-Vg curve is shifted in response to a chemical reaction occurring on or near the chemically-sensitive field effect transistor.

  • Patent number: 10395928
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosed technology include depositing a passivation layer onto a surface of a wafer that may include a graphene layer. The passivation layer may protect and isolate the graphene layer from electrical and chemical conditions that may damage the graphene layer. As such, the passivation layer may further protect the graphene sensor from being damaged and impaired for its intended use. Additionally, the passivation layer may be patterned to expose select areas of the graphene layer below the passivation layer, thus creating graphene wells and exposing the graphene layer to the appropriate chemicals and solutions.

  • Patent number: 10372587
    Abstract: A method involves using one or more software programs to stress a powered electronic device in a test environment to induce controlled electromagnetic emissions from the powered electronic device, using the controlled electromagnetic emissions to generate an emission profile of the powered electronic device operating under stress, monitoring spurious electromagnetic emissions of the powered electronic device in an operational environment, and comparing the spurious electromagnetic emissions of the powered electronic device in the operational environment with the emission profile of the powered electronic device to determine that the powered electronic device is operating under stress in the operational environment.
