Sealable Microvalve That Can Be Repeatedly Opened and Sealed
ink;color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline; } INV-1243 Background The typical structure for a MEMS microvalve includes an orifice and a moveable plate that can be actuated to press against the orifice. When the plate does not press against the orifice, fluid can flow through the orifice and therefore through the valve. When the plate is pressed...

Label-free Fluorescence-based Biopolymer Sequencing using Nanopore Arrays
INV-14062 Background Nanopore sequencing is a third generation approach used in the sequencing of biopolymers, where polynucleotides are in the form of DNA or RNA. Using nanopore sequencing, a single molecule of DNA or RNA can be sequenced without the need for PCR amplification or chemical labeling of the samples. Nanopore sequencing has the...

Chemical Sensing with Fibrous Materials
INV-14037 Background Conventionally, various types of sensor elements have been used for detection of physiological analytes. Some of the most common ones are nanosensors and microworms. In vivo use of nanosensors has been limited by cellular uptake and diffusion into biological systems. Microworm sensors can overcome such limitations of nanosensors;...

Aluminum Nitride Piezoelectric NEMS devices using 2-Dimensional Electrode Material
INV-13074 Background Traditional IR detectors based on semiconductor photon-detectors need cryogenic cooling, making them bulky, costly and inconvenient to use. Uncooled IR thermal detectors based on bolometric principle have been recently developed, which are much smaller, lighter, cheaper and power-efficient, making them good alternatives to semiconductor...

On the move millimeter wave interrogation system with a hallway of multiple transmitters and receivers
INV-14050 Description The use of millimeter-wave imaging techniques/systems is well known in prior art. Current techniques/systems generally use portal configuration and/or monostatic radar technology. The images generated using such systems often have reconstructed artifacts, such as dihedral effects, misrepresenting sudden indentations and protrusions....
