  • Binding acceleration techniques for the detection of analytes
    Publication number: 20050003399
    Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods useful in the acceleration of binding of target analytes to capture ligands on surfaces. Detection proceeds through the use of an electron transfer moiety (ETM) that is associated with the target analyte, either directly or indirectly, to allow electronic detection of the ETM.

  • Heater for temperature control integrated in circuit board and method of manufacture
    Patent number: 6781056
    Abstract: Circuit boards (1100, 1500, 1600, 1700) and methods for fabricating circuit boards that include heaters for maintaining temperature sensitive components at an operating temperature are provided. Resistive traces (602, 702,704) are included in the circuit boards proximate temperature sensitive apparatus (1004, 1304, 1602, 1712). Thermally conductive patches (802, 902, 904) are interposed between the resistive traces and the temperature sensitive components. The thermally conductive patches establish zones of relatively uniform temperatures. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the temperature sensitive apparatus comprises a fluid conduit (1004).
