  • Patent number: 11518674
    Abstract: A system and method (referred to as the system) fabricates controllable atomic assemblies in two and three dimensions. The systems identify by a non-invasive imager, a local atomic structure, distribution of vacancies, and dopant atoms and modify, by a microscopic modifier, the local atomic structure, via electron beam irradiation. The systems store, by a knowledge base, cause-and-effect relationships based on a non-invasive imaging and electron scans. The systems detect, by detectors, changes in the local atomic structure induced by the electron irradiation; and fabricate, a modified atomic structure by a beam control software and feedback.

  • Patent number: 11087358
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture for communication with an audience metering device are disclosed. An example method includes identifying a context of a message to be transmitted to a configuration device. In response to identifying the context of the message is a first context, the message is stored in a first characteristic memory of the audience measurement device. In response to identifying that the context of the message is a second context, the message is stored in a second characteristic memory of the audience measurement device. The example method includes advertising, to the configuration device, that the message is stored in at least one of the first characteristic memory or the second characteristic memory.

  • Patent number: 10777381
    Abstract: A system and method (referred to as a method) to fabricate nanorobots. The method generates a pixel map of an atomic object and identifies portions of the atomic object that form a nanorobot. The method stores those identifications in a memory. The method adjusts an electron beam to a noninvasive operating level and images the portions of the atomic object that form the nanorobot. The method executes a plurality of scanning profiles by the electron beam to form the nanorobot and detects nanorobot characteristics and their surroundings via the electron beam in response to executing the plurality of scanning profiles.

  • Patent number: 10400351
    Abstract: A method for sculpting crystalline oxide structures for bulk nanofabrication is provided. The method includes the controlled electron beam induced irradiation of amorphous and liquid phase precursor solutions using a scanning transmission electron microscope. The atomically focused electron beam includes operating parameters (e.g., location, dwell time, raster speed) that are selected to provide a higher electron dose in patterned areas and a lower electron dose in non-patterned areas. Concurrently with the epitaxial growth of crystalline features, the present method includes scanning the substrate to provide information on the size of the crystalline features with atomic resolution. This approach provides for atomic level sculpting of crystalline oxide materials from a metastable amorphous precursor and the liquid phase patterning of nanocrystals.

  • Patent number: 9612257
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy based on acquisition of full probe response. The full probe response contains valuable information about the probe-sample interaction that is lost in traditional scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy methods. The full probe response is analyzed post data acquisition using fast Fourier transform and adaptive filtering, as well as multivariate analysis. The full response data is further compressed to retain only statistically significant components before being permanently stored.

  • Patent number: 9541576
    Abstract: A system and method for electrochemical force microscopy are provided. The system and method are based on a multidimensional detection scheme that is sensitive to forces experienced by a biased electrode in a solution. The multidimensional approach allows separation of fast processes, such as double layer charging, and charge relaxation, and slow processes, such as diffusion and faradaic reactions, as well as capturing the bias dependence of the response. The time-resolved and bias measurements can also allow probing both linear (small bias range) and non-linear (large bias range) electrochemical regimes and potentially the de-convolution of charge dynamics and diffusion processes from steric effects and electrochemical reactivity.

  • Patent number: 9535087
    Abstract: Scanning probe microscopy may include a method for generating a band excitation (BE) signal and simultaneously exciting a probe at a plurality of frequencies within a predetermined frequency band based on the excitation signal. A response of the probe is measured across a subset of frequencies of the predetermined frequency band and the excitation signal is adjusted based on the measured response.
