摘要:
The invention relates to an electromagnetic system for biosensors, in which the system can switch quickly between high magnetic gradients, without the need of movement of mechanical elements. This is realized by two independent electromagnetic units (1,1′ 2, 2′) which are separated in the region of the pole shoes over a gap, in which a sample volume is arranged by a cartridge (3), and in which the sensor surfaces of the biosensor are located at one or more inner surfaces of the cartridge (3).

The invention relates to a microelectronic sensor device for the detection of target components that comprise label particles, for example magnetic particles (1). The sensor device comprises a carrier (11) with a binding surface (12) at which target components can collect and optionally bind to specific capture elements. An input light beam (L1) is transmitted into the carrier and totally internally reflected at the binding surface (12). The amount of light in the output light beam (L2) and optionally also of fluorescence light emitted by target components at the binding surface is then detected by a light detector (31). Evanescent light generated during the total internal reflection is affected (absorbed, scattered) by target components and/or label particles (1) at the binding surface (12) and will therefore be missing in the output light beam (L2). This can be used to determine the amount of target components at the binding surface (12) from the amount of light in the output light beam (L2, L2a, L2b). A magnetic field generator (41) is optionally used to generate a magnetic field (B) at the binding surface (12) by which magnetic label particles (1) can be manipulated, for example 15 attracted or repelled.

The present invention relates to a symbol detection apparatus for detecting the symbol values of a one-dimensional channel data stream recorded along one-dimensional contiguous tracks on a record carrier, wherein the symbols of adjacent tracks have a varying phase relation. In order to enable the use of a 2D symbol detection scheme for symbol detection of the symbol values of a one-dimensional channel data stream, an apparatus is proposed comprising: a phase detection means (31) for detecting the phase relation of the symbols of at least two adjacent tracks, a processing means (30) for determining HF reference levels at the symbol positions of the symbols of said at least two adjacent tracks by recalculating an ideal two-dimensional target HF impulse response (gk,2D) of the symbols of said at least two adjacent tracks, said ideal two-dimensional target HF impulse response (gk,2D) representing an HF impulse response assuming no phase difference between the symbols of said at least two adjacent tracks, based on the detected phase relation, and 2D symbol detection means (6) for symbol detection of the symbols of at least one of said at least two adjacent tracks using said HF reference levels (REFk,i) and HF signal values (HFkk,i) read-out from said record carrier

摘要:
The present invention relates to an encoding apparatus and a corresponding method for two-dimensionally encoding user data of a user data stream into channel data of a channel data stream along a two-dimensional channel strip of at least two bit rows one-dimensionally evolving along a first direction and being aligned with each other along a second direction, said two directions constituting a two-dimensional lattice of bit positions. According to the invention the apparatus comprises a modulation code encoder for modulation code encoding said user data into said channel data according to a two-dimensional modulation code being adapted to prevent predetermined worst case patterns of channel data in said channel data stream. The worst-case patterns are typical for high-density two-dimensional optical storage channels.
摘要:
A Viterbi bit detection method for detecting the bit values of bits of a channel data stream stored on a record carrier along an N-dimensional channel tube, N being at least two, of at least two bit rows one-dimensionally evolving along a first direction and being aligned with each other along at least a second of N−1 other directions, the first direction together with the N−1 other directions constituting an N-dimensional lattice of bit positions, includes application of a row-based one-dimensional Viterbi bit detection method independent for each of the bit rows of said channel tube. To achieve a reliable bit detection, a number of independent one-dimensional row-based Viterbi bit detectors, also known as sequence detectors, is used, one for each bit row in the channel tube: the interference between successive neighboring bit rows is taken into account via the computation of the branch metrics (for the considered bit row), in which local bit decisions on the primary neighboring bits in the neighboring rows are used. As local bit detectors going beyond the performance of a threshold detector, the use of a HD-2 or HD-3-like hard-decision bit detector is proposed.

A record head for the thermally assisted magnetic recording on a storage medium. The head has an inductive section, which includes a magnetic circuit having a record flux guide ending in a record pole, and an optical section, which includes an optical guide ending in an optical outlet. The optical guide is arranged beside the magnetic circuit and is an optical layer transparent to a selected wavelength. The optical layer is interposed between two cladding layers, of which one is formed by the record flux guide of the magnetic circuit and the other is formed by a layer having an index of refraction smaller than the index of refraction of the optical layer. The record head makes it possible to minimize the time that elapse between the moment of maximal energy absorption in the medium and the moment of recording on the medium in a thermally assisted recording process.

A microelectronic sensor device for the detection of target components with label or magnetic particles includes a carrier with a binding surface at which target components can collect and optionally bind to specific capture elements. An input light beam is transmitted into the carrier and totally internally reflected at the binding surface. The amount of light in the output light beam is detected by a light detector. Evanescent light generated during the total internal reflection is affected by target components and/or label particles at the binding surface and will be missing in the output light beam. This is used to determine the amount of target components at the binding surface from the amount of light in the output light beam. A magnetic field generator is optionally used to generate a magnetic field at the binding surface by which magnetic label particles can be manipulated, such as attracted or repelled.
摘要:
A method and a microelectronic sensor device for making optical examinations in an investigation region at the contact surface of a carrier, wherein an input light beam is sent from a light source towards the investigation region, and wherein an output light beam coming from the investigation region is detected by a light detector. An evaluation unit that is coupled to the light detector is adapted to determine the wetting grade of the investigation region based on a characteristic parameter of the output light beam. The evaluation unit may be adapted to determine a change in the light intensity caused by a liquid contacting the contact surface. The wetting grade may be detected in a test region that is located adjacent to the investigation region and that has a higher roughness than the investigation region.
