International Classification:

B23K026/00
B23K026/06

US Classification:

219/121680, 219/121830

Abstract:

A system for semiconductor wafer marking is provided. The system includes: (a) a first positioning subsystem for positioning a laser marking field relative to a wafer, the positioning along a first direction; (b) an alignment vision subsystem; (c) a laser marker including a laser for marking a location within the marking field with a laser marking beam; (d) a calibration program for calibrating at least one subsystem of the system; and (e) a controller. The marking field is substantially smaller than the wafer, and the laser marker includes a scan lens for optically maintaining a spot formed by the beam on the wafer within an acceptable range about the location within the marking field so as to avoid undesirable mark variations associated with wafer sag or other variations in depth within the field.

Abstract:

Blockchain, or distributed ledger network technology, facilitates and accelerates foreign currency (FX) transactions and makes them reliable and trusted by prequalifying participants in the transactions to participate. Prequalifying participants enables funding of the transaction before parties enter into a trade, reducing the time required to consummate a transaction. In one aspect, the credit aspect of these transactions is disaggregated from the transactions themselves, eliminating credit risk and delivery risk, among others. Immutability of data in the blockchain enhances transaction reliability, and promotes confidence on both sides of a given transaction. In another aspect, fully collateralized fiat coins (FCFC) residing within the blockchain are based on an underlying fiat currency. Within the blockchain, the FCFC are their own currency.

International Classification:

G01N 33/53
B01L 3/00
G01N 33/543
G01N 21/64

Abstract:

The invention relates to compositions and methods for the concentration and/or purification of analytes, such as biomarkers, typically from complex biological samples such as whole blood, serum or plasma. This invention also relates to the use of binding agents, such as antibodies, aptamers, antigens and engineered protein scaffold based binding agents (e.g. commercially available Affibodies), to facilitate the concentration and/or purification of said analytes. This invention further relates to assays used to detect, measure and/or quantify the analyte after its concentration and/or purification, preferably solid-phase immunoassays and more preferably multiplex solid-phase immunoassays.

Abstract:

An implant delivery system can be configured to deliver an inflatable implant into a bladder via a urethra. The delivery system can comprise an elongate tubular body, an inflation tube and an implant decoupler. The tubular body can comprise a central lumen configured to hold an inflatable implant in an initial un-inflated state for delivery of the implant into the bladder. A method of use can include passing a distal tip of the elongate tubular body into the bladder. The implant can be inflated and released into the bladder.
