  • Patent number: 8062751
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for forming a low biofouling filtration membrane. First, an ozone treatment is performed to a fluorine-based porous membrane to introduce peroxides on surface. Afterwards, a first grafting polymerization is initiated from the peroxides, and functional monomers are polymerized to introduce halide groups on surface. Finally, a second grafting polymerization is initiated from the halide groups, and macro-monomers are polymerized to introduce zwitterionic group on surface, so as to form the low biofouling filtration membrane.

  • Publication number: 20110160392
    Abstract: The present invention discloses statistical antibiofouling nonionic-zwitterionic copolymers. The antibiofouling nonionic-zwitterionic copolymers are with the LCST (Lower Critical Solution Temperature) and/or UCST (Upper Critical Solution Temperature), and with increasing content of the nonionic monomers, the LCST and/or UCST of copolymers varies.

  • Publication number: 20100220290
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for recognizing a person's gaze are disclosed, where the apparatus includes a main body, an eye-movement detector, a data generator and a transmitter, where the main body has the specific area. The eye-movement detector can detect whether a gaze is fixed on the specific area. The data generator can generate gaze data when the gaze is fixed on the specific area. The transmitter can transmit the gaze data to terminal equipment, so that the terminal equipment can receive information that the gaze is fixed on the specific area based on the gaze data, so that the terminal equipment can provide a prompt based on the gaze data.

  • Publication number: 20060197952
    Abstract: A high-sensitivity SPR (surface plasmon resonance) sensor includes at least a prism having a first surface on which a metallic layer and a metallic nanoparticle layer are sequentially formed. A light source projects an incident light into the prism through a second surface of the prism. The light is reflected by the metallic layer and the metallic nanoparticle layer and leaves the prism through a third surface of the prism. A light detector detects the reflected light. The SPR sensor has an extensive detection range as compared with the conventional ones and is applicable in the detection of gas, chemical substance, and biomolecule. Moreover, the SPR sensor is advantageous in arranging fabrication process consistently, controlling film thickness, improving product quality, and decreasing fabrication cost.

  • Publication number: 20040132005
    Abstract: A method of forming a biochip in which a micro-carrier having a bar code or a number code thereon is provided. A surface-modifying step is performed for modifying a surface of the micro-carrier to an aminated surface. A solid-phase peptide synthesis step is then conducted to synthesize a peptide having a specific amino acid sequence on the aminated surface of the micro-carrier or immobilizing an antibody or an antigen on the aminated surface of the micro-carrier. The micro-carrier can be applied on a biological activity analysis or an antibody-antigen interaction analysis, and the results can be read out directly from the bar code or the number code on the micro-carrier.
