6519221, Feb 11, 2003

Filed:

Oct 6, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/680290

Inventors:

Scott Manalis - Santa Barbara CA
Emily B. Cooper - Cambridge MA
Calvin F. Quate - Stanford CA

Assignee:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
The Board of Trustees of Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G11B 700

US Classification:

369126, 250306

Abstract:

An atomic force microscope (AFM) tipped with a single-wall conductive nanotube is operated to write bits onto a metal substrate by oxidizing the surface. The oxidized microregions project above an otherwise flat surface, and can therefore be detectedâthat is, the written bits can be readâusing the same AFM arrangement.

Emily Cooper - Cambridge MA, US

International Classification:

G01N021/41

US Classification:

436/165000, 436/034000, 436/164000, 422/050000, 422/055000, 422/057000, 422/061000, 422/069000, 422/082050, 422/082090, 422/083000, 422/088000, 422/091000

Abstract:

Chemical reactions are monitored by a cantilever sensing arrangement in which the reaction is transduced into mechanical responses that may be detected with a high degree of sensitivity. Projecting fingers interdigitate and, based on the extent of reaction, bend in a manner that may be detected optically.

Appl. No.:

10/201333

Inventors:

Jurgen Fritz - Cambridge MA, US
Emily Cooper - Cambridge MA, US
Scott Manalis - Santa Barbara CA, US

International Classification:

C12Q001/00
C12M001/34

US Classification:

435/004000, 435/287200, 510/179000

Abstract:

Measurements relating to the activity of various molecules of interest are obtained using a sensing surface with an associated first charge, a charge-regulating layer bound to the sensing surface, various possible probe molecules and a measurement circuit. The sensing surface has a layer bound to it that confers a neutral charge or a second charge on a net basis. In addition, a probe is bound to at least one of the surface and the layer, the probe being complementary to and interacting with a molecule of interest. The interaction between the probe and the molecule of interest is detected electrically.

International Classification:

F25D 23/12

US Classification:

062259300

Abstract:

A body ventilation system for enhanced personal comfort. A gas distributor including a network of gas flow elements is disposed on a permeable substrate. The gas distributor defines at least one channel in fluid communication with the gas flow elements. The gas flow elements are configured to receive gas from a gas supply such that gas flows through the gas flow elements and exits to the channels substantially parallel to the surface of the permeable substrate. The gas from the gas supply may be conditioned. The permeable substrate may be a wicking material and may be a garment substrate. The gas distributor may be substantially incompressible. The gas flow elements may be selectively positioned to target the ventilation needs of a particular class of users.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

Fabrics are used as integral elements of electrical circuitry--to facilitate control over the operation of external components connected thereto, to serve as substrates onto which electrical components are connected, or as the electrical components themselves. In one aspect, selective, anisotropic electrical conductivity is achieved using conductive fibers running along one weave direction and non-conductive fibers running along the opposite direction. The conductive fibers, which may be continuous or arranged in lanes, serve as electrical conduits capable of carrying data signals and/or power, and may be connected, for example, to electrical components soldered directly onto the fabric. In a second aspect, passive electrical components are integrated directly textiles using threads having selected electrical properties.
