20090114024 | SCANNING NEAR FIELD ULTRASOUND HOLOGRAPHY - A high spatial resolution phase-sensitive technique employs a scanning near field ultrasound holography (SNFUH) methodology for imaging elastic as well as viscoelastic variations across a sample surface. SNFUH uses a near-field approach to measure time-resolved variations in ultrasonic oscillations at a sample surface. As such, it overcomes the spatial resolution limitations of conventional phase-resolved acoustic microscopy (i.e. holography) by eliminating the need for far-field acoustic lenses. | 05-07-2009 |
20090269284 | CONTRAST AGENTS - The present invention relates generally to multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents. In particular, the present invention provides a MRI contrast agent configured to manipulate both the longitudinal (T | 10-29-2009 |
20100077840 | Light induced gas sensing at room temprature - A light-assisted sensor and method of light-assisted sensing of gaseous species involves contacting a gaseous medium with a material selected to adsorb on its surface one or more gaseous species of interest and illuminating the surface of the material from a source to induce a change of an electrical property, such as conductivity, of the material in the presence of the one or more gaseous species. The change in the electrical property of the material is measured and can be used to identify and quantify the gaseous species of interest in the gaseous medium. | 04-01-2010 |
20110081526 | PATTERNING OF SOLID STATE FEATURES BY DIRECT WRITE NANOLITHOGRAPHIC PRINTING - The present invention includes a method of fabricating organic/inorganic composite nanostructures on a substrate comprising depositing a solution having a block copolymer and an inorganic precursor on the substrate using dip pen nanolithography. The nanostructures comprises arrays of lines and/or dots having widths/diameters less than 1 micron. The present invention also includes a device comprising an organic/inorganic composite nanoscale region chemically bonded to a substrate, wherein the nanoscale region, wherein the nanoscale region has a nanometer scale dimension other than height. | 04-07-2011 |
20120308657 | MAGNETIC NANOSTRUCTURES AS THERANOSTIC AGENTS - The present invention relates to magnetic nanostructures as theranostic agents, which provide dual function as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In particular, the present invention relates to compositions comprising magnetic nanostructures and their use as targeted therapeutic agents for cancers (e.g., medulloblastoma) and Alzheimer's disease and related diseases and conditions. | 12-06-2012 |
