    摘要: Methods for evaluating tissue motion of a tissue location, e.g., a cardiac location, are provided. Aspects of the methods include applying a pressure wave, e.g., ultrasound, to a subject and detecting a change in impedance between two electrodes stably associated with a target site to detect arrival of the pressure wave at said target site and thereby evaluate movement of the target site. Also provided are systems, devices and related compositions for practicing the subject methods. The subject methods and devices find use in a variety of different applications, including cardiac resynchronization therapy.

    摘要: Implantable pressure sensors and methods for making and using the same. A feature of of at least some of the subject pressure sensors is that they are low-drift sensors. Additional features of representable pressure sensors include the presence of a compliant member mounted on a substrate in a manner such that the compliant member has first and second opposing exposed surfaces and is positioned at least proximal to the said pressure sensor's neutral plane. The subject pressure sensors find use in a variety of applications.

    摘要: Implantable pressure sensors and methods for making and using the same. A feature of of at least some of the subject pressure sensors is that they are low-drift sensors. Additional features of representative pressure sensors include the presence of first and second strain transducers that are associated with a compliant member so that their outputs respond oppositely to deflection of the compliant member resulting from differential pressure across the compliant member but respond similarly to deformation of a substrate on which the compliant member is mounted. The subject pressure sensors find use in a variety of applications.

    摘要: A process for coating the inside surfaces of silicon microflow devices, such as electrophoresis microchannels, with a low-stress, conformal (uniform) silicon nitride film which has the ability to uniformly coat deeply-recessed cavities with, for example, aspect ratios of up to 40:1 or higher. The silicon nitride coating allows extended exposure to caustic solutions. The coating enables a microflow device fabricated in silicon to be resistant to all classes of chemicals: acids, bases, and solvents. The process involves low-pressure (vacuum) chemical vapor deposition. The ultra-low-stress silicon nitride deposition process allows 1-2 &mgr;m thick films without cracks, and so enables extended chemical protection of a silicon microflow device against caustics for up to 1 year. Tests have demonstrated the resistance of the films to caustic solutions at both ambient and elevated temperatures to 65° C.
