20110091972 | Fabricating Scaffolds and Other Cell-Growth Structures Using Microfluidics to Culture Biological Samples - Methods and apparatuses for using microfluidics to generate bubbles and using the generated bubbles to construct scaffolds and cell-holding structures for culturing biological samples or analytes. In one implementation, a scaffold for growing cells is provided to include a matrix of interconnected cavities formed from mixing a gas and a liquid containing a cross linkable material to produce a matrix of gas bubbles of substantially the same size and cross linking the cross linkable material to form a structure in which cells are grown. In another implementation, a scaffold apparatus for growing cells includes a ball of a cross linked material forming an exterior shell that encloses to form a hollow interior inside the ball and biological samples embedded in the external shell. | 04-21-2011 |
20110285047 | METHOD AND DEVICE OF FABRICATING THREE DIMENSIONAL SCAFFOLDS - A method of fabricating three-dimensional scaffolds includes the steps of forming a plurality of bubbles by providing a gelatin solution and a gas stream passing through a bubble production device, gathering the bubbles, cooling the bubbles, crosslinking the bubbles by adding the agent with aldehyde group, and breaking at least some of the bubbles to be interconnected to form a three-dimensional porous materials. | 11-24-2011 |
20120040164 | LARGE-AREA PARTICLE-MONOLAYER AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE SAME - The present invention provides a particle monolayer and a method for fabricating the same. The method comprises the following steps: providing a container; adding a solvent into said container; adding a mixture of a particle-suspension and a spreading agent into said solvent; and adding a solvent-soluble polymer to said mixture to form a particle-monolayer. By using a solvent-soluble polymer, the particle monolayer fabricated by the method is a large-area particle monolayer with ordered structure, and the method can be used for any kind of substrates. | 02-16-2012 |

20090109408 | LIGHT-FILTERING MODULE AND PROJECTING SYSTEM APPLIED THEREWITH - A light-filtering module includes a light-source module, a dichroic mirror and a first image unit. The light-source module outputs a light beam. The dichroic mirror divides the light beam into a first colored light and a dual colored light. The first image unit provides the first colored light with image information. The light-filtering module includes a light-filtering unit and a driving unit. The light-filtering unit located between the dichroic mirror and the first image unit is located at a light path of the first colored light. The driving unit includes a coupling element coupled to the light-filtering unit and a driving element utilized to drive the coupling element. The driving element drives the light-filtering unit, switching between a first status and a second status by the coupling element, and a wide-wavelength spectrum and a narrow-wavelength spectrum are provided when the light-filtering unit is in the first and second statuses, respectively. | 04-30-2009 |

20090110020 | LIGHT EMITTING SYSTEM - A light emitting system is disclosed, including a light generator, a complex lens and an activating unit. The light generator provides a light beam emitted in a first direction in parallel to an optic axis. The complex lens, disposed on a path of the light beam, includes a plurality of micro structures for refracting the light beam. The activating unit includes an activating member coupled to the complex lens. The activating member activates the complex lens with an activation frequency to reciprocally move in a second direction alternate to the first direction. By the disposition of the complex lens, the energy of the light beam is uniformly distributed. Additionally, speckle produced by the light beam is reciprocally moved within an area by the activating unit, creating a photogene reaction, to successfully eliminate existence of the speckle. | 04-30-2009 |
