  • Method of stabilization of functional nanoscale pores for device applications
    Patent number: 8294007
    Abstract: A membrane is disclosed made from a compound having a hydrophilic head group, an aliphatic tail group, and a polymerizable functional group. The membrane spans an aperture and may be polymerized. The membrane may be useful for DNA sequencing when the membrane includes an ion channel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 28, 2005
    Date of Patent: October 23, 2012
    Assignees: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy, The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of Commerce
    Inventors: Devanand K. Shenoy, Alok Singh, William R. Barger, John J. Kasianowicz
  • Mixed semiconductor film device for monitoring gases
    Patent number: 4636767
    Abstract: A method of monitoring gases using electronic conductivity changes in ordd organic semiconductor films comprising an insulated substrate fabricated to an interdigital microelectrode and coated with a vapor sensitive semiconductor film. Variations in current flow caused by vapors interacting with the film are indicative of the vapor type.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 21, 1985
