20090017553 | Immunoassay-based microsensing using optical sensors - A biosensor device, system, and method for detecting biological material. The sensor includes a substrate including sample regions having attachable thereon an immobilized first species associated with the biological material and includes at least one optical sensor associated with the sample regions and configured to detect induced radiation from a second species selectively attached to the first species at the sample regions. The induced radiation provides an indication that the biological material is on the substrate. The system includes a processor in communication with the optical sensor and is configured to monitor the induced radiation from the second species. The method immobilizes a first species of the biological material on the at least one sample region, attaches a second species of the biological material to the first species, induces radiation from the second species, and detects the radiation with at least one optical sensor associated with the at least one sample region. | 01-15-2009 |

20120326050 | Film Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator-Based High Energy Radiation Detectors and Methods Using the Same - The present invention relates generally to the detection of high energy radiation. The present invention relates more particularly to the film bulk acoustic wave resonator-based devices, and their use in the detection of high energy radiation. One aspect of the invention is a method for detecting high energy radiation, the method comprising providing a film bulk acoustic wave resonator having a zinc oxide piezoelectric layer in substantial contact with a dielectric layer; exposing the film bulk acoustic wave resonator to the high energy radiation; determining the resonant frequency of the film bulk acoustic wave resonator; and determining the dose of high energy radiation using the resonant frequency of the film bulk acoustic wave resonator. | 12-27-2012 |
20140165017 | PHYSICS-BASED RELIABILITY MODEL FOR LARGE-SCALE CMOS CIRCUIT DESIGN - This disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for simulating physical active semiconductor components using in silico active semiconductor components. To simulate charge degradation effect(s) in a circuit simulation, a simulated defect signal level is produced. More specifically, the simulated defect signal level simulates at least one charge degradation effect in the in silico active semiconductor component as a function of simulation time and a simulated input signal level of a simulated input signal. As such, the charge degradation effect(s) are simulated externally with respect to the in silico active semiconductor component. In this manner, the in silico active semiconductor component does not need to be reprogrammed in order to simulate charge degradation effects. | 06-12-2014 |

20090040749 | RETRACTABLE LIGHT APPARATUS - A retractable light is provided with a light to extend and retract in a housing. A motor for driving a sprocket is mounted in the housing or light assembly and a gear rack is mounted in the other. The gear rack has a series of apertures so that debris is conveyed into the apertures. Another embodiment provides a housing with a first guide member, connected to a light assembly by a second guide member. A motor and a gear are mounted in one of the housing and light assembly. A gear rack is mounted in the other of the housing and the light assembly. In another embodiment, a rechargeable battery is powered by a solar cell with a first circuit for powering the motor with a first voltage and a second circuit for powering the light source with a second voltage that is less than the first voltage. | 02-12-2009 |

20140021962 | Subsea Deployed Apparatus and Method - An apparatus includes a voltage source, voltage measurement means and a processing means, and connects to a line to apply and monitor a voltage between the line and earth. The processing means controls the voltage source to transmit and receive communications from the line, via the voltage measurement means. The apparatus also has a first and second current measurement means. The voltage source is connectable to a wire under test to inject a predetermined test voltage on the wire. The wire extends in a first and second direction from the test location. The first current measurement means measures the leakage current from the voltage source flowing along the wire in a first direction, and the second current measurement means determines the leakage current along the wire in a second direction, and the processing means uses the current flows measured by both current measurement means to determine wire insulation properties. | 01-23-2014 |
