  • Publication number: 20140087451
    Abstract: In one embodiment according to the invention, there is provided a method of sensing a response of a living cell or virus to a change in conditions. The method comprises applying an essentially constant external electromotive force that causes oscillation of an acoustic wave device at essentially constant amplitude and frequency under steady state conditions. The acoustic wave device has attached at least one living cell or virus. A combined oscillating system including the acoustic wave device and the living cell or virus exhibits a fundamental frequency and at least one harmonic frequency of the combined oscillating system.

  • Patent number: 8465655
    Abstract: A fabrication method for forming polymer nanopillars using an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane and an imprint process. A substrate is cleaned and a water soluble tape is applied to the substrate to define a coating area. The substrate is spin-coated with a polymer solution and an AAO membrane is placed on top of the coated area on the substrate and turned over whereby a silicon wafer is attached onto the AAO membrane forming an AAO membrane assembly, which is pressed in an imprintor. Then, the AAO membrane assembly is removed from the imprintor, it is disassembled, and the AAO membrane is dissolved in a NaOH solution forming a polymer substrate with nanopillars.
