  • Novel construction of gold nanoparticle-based peptide chip, and assaying enzyme activity and inhibitor effect using secondary ion mass spectrometric analysis thereof
    Publication number: 20080076676
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based peptide chip prepared by forming a monolayer of AuNPs onto a self-assembled monolayer constructed on a solid support, and then immobilizing a peptide on the AuNPs. The AuNPs can effectively amplify the mass signal of the peptide, thus making it possible to measure the mass change of the peptide in a simple and accurate manner. Also, when secondary ion mass spectrometric analysis (spectrum or imaging) is performed on the AuNP-based peptide chip, the activities of enzymes and related inhibitors can be effectively quantified. The disclosed invention enables various enzyme activities to be analyzed rapidly and accurately, and thus can provide an important method for disease diagnosis and new drug development through the elucidation of signaling and interaction mechanisms.

  • Attachment of an Electrical Element to an Electronic Device Using a Conductive Material
    Publication number: 20080074131
    Abstract: An electrical element can be attached and electrically connected to a substrate by a conductive adhesive material. The conductive adhesive material can electrically connect the electrical element to a terminal or other electrical conductor on the substrate. The conductive adhesive material can be cured by directing a flow of heated gas onto the material or by heating the material through a support structure on which the substrate is located. A non-conductive adhesive material can attach the electrical element to the substrate with a greater adhesive strength than the conductive adhesive. The non-conductive adhesive material can also be cured by directing a flow of heated gas onto the material or by heating the material through the support structure on which the substrate is located. The non-conductive adhesive material can cover the conductive adhesive material.

  • Unit pixel of CMOS image sensor
    Patent number: 7348533
    Abstract: In a unit pixel of a CMOS image sensor which compensates for a dark current generated in a photo diode to enhance its driving range, the photo diode generates a charge in accordance with a received light amount. A drive transistor has a gate for receiving the charge in the photo diode to output as an electrical signal, and a drain to which a power voltage is applied. A saturation detector receives a gate voltage of the drive transistor and judges the drive transistor saturated if an output voltage is smaller than a preset reference voltage. A switch connects or disconnects between the power voltage and the gate of the drive transistor in response to the judgment of the saturation detector.
