  • Publication number: 20220387990
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a bioagent capture and identification system including a microfluidic platform for label-free, size-based capture, enrichment, and optical profiling of bioagents using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes coated in gold nanoparticles. Bioagent identification can be automated using machine learning. Captured bioagents remain viable after capture and analysis. In the nanotube fabrication process, catalyst precursor layers are fabricated using patterned stamps. In addition, nanotube diameter and density are increased by increasing the concentration of metal content in the catalyst precursor layer.

  • Patent number: 8724328
    Abstract: An exemplary electronic device includes a shell, a printed circuit board and a solid state disk module provided in the shell. The printed circuit board has a cable. The solid state disk module includes a solid state disk and a fixing structure encapsulating the solid state disk. The solid state disk has ports connected with the cable. The fixing structure includes a bottom panel, a top panel extending from one end of the bottom panel and two lateral panels extending from two lateral sides of the bottom panel. The bottom panel supports the solid state disk. The top panel is bent from the bottom panel and covers the end and a top of the solid state disk. The lateral panels are bent from the bottom panel and cover the solid state disk and connect to the top panel. A handle portion extends beyond the top of the solid state disk.
