  • Patent number: 11972971
    Abstract: A wafer lift pin system is capable of dynamically modulating or adjusting the flow of gas into and out of lift pins of the wafer lift pin system to achieve and maintain a consistent pressure in supply lines that supply the gas to the lift pins. This enables the wafer lift pin system to precisely control the speed, acceleration, and deceleration of the lift pins to achieve consistent and repeatable lift pin rise times and fall times. A controller and various sensors and valves may control the gas pressures in the wafer lift pin system based on various factors, such as historic rise times, historic fall times, and/or the condition of the lift pins. This enables smoother and more controlled automatic operation of the lift pins, which reduces and/or minimizes wafer shifting and wafer instability, which may reduce processing defects and maintain or improve processing yields.

  • Patent number: 9017646
    Abstract: A process of evaluating blood-brain barrier permeability of a stroke rat by using fluorescent substance is disclosed. This process uses an Evans blue dye having spontaneous fluorescence properties, in combination with the use of a new non-invasive in vivo imaging system (IVIS), to obtain fluorescent signals so as to assess the change in the blood-brain barrier permeability of rodents after a cerebral artery stroke model surgery. In operation, an Evans blue dye is injected into a stroke rat of middle cerebral artery occlusion model. A non-invasive in vivo imaging system is used to detect the fluorescence distribution of the whole brain, and obtain images combined by the fluorescence images and optical images for the whole brain tissue. Thereby, the change in the blood-brain barrier permeability of the stroke rat can be completely realized.

  • Patent number: 8048405
    Abstract: A radioactive mixture and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The radioactive mixture (188Re-MN/Lipiodol mixture) is formed by chelating reaction of MN series compounds that are amine-amide-disulfide amine quadric-dentate chelate ligands with TcO4?/or ReO4?, and then dissolved in Lipiodol. Moreover, the 99mTc/or 188Re of the TcO4?/or ReO4? avoids bone marrow injuries caused by free 90Y. By the feature of the Lipiodol that stays in liver tumors for a long period, the radioactive mixture is applied to treat liver cancers by injection so that injuries caused by surgical operations can be prevented. 188Re-MN/Lipiodol is used for liver cancer, breast cancer or other solid tumors treatment. Re-188 MN or Re-188 MN/Lipiodol can be mixed with anticancer drugs, hydrogel, liposome, micelle or other nano-particles to form the multifunctional therapeutic modality.

  • Publication number: 20090324496
    Abstract: A radioactive material for inhibiting cancer and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. The radioactive material for inhibiting cancer is M-SOCTA-Z and M is a radioactive nuclide such as 188Re or 99mT while Z is protein or peptides having amino acid with NH or NH2 group. The preparation method of the radioactive material for inhibiting cancer includes steps of: reacting SOCTA with protein or peptide. Ester (—COOR) in SOCTA reacts with amines (—NH, —NH2) in protein or peptide to form peptide bond. Thus SOCTA-protein or SOCTA-peptide complex is produced. Then these SOCTA-protein complex reacts with radioactive nuclide M so as to generate M-SOCTA-protein or M-SOCTA-peptide. In an embodiment of the present invention, monoclonal antibody Herceptin is applied to bind with SOCTA and in combination with radiation-based therapy, effects of cancer treatment (such as breast cancer) are enhanced.
