    Abstract: An integrated circuit having a semiconductor layer having formed therein a electronic circuit. An electrical device, electrically connected to the electronic circuit, has a corrugated platform supported over, displaced from, and integrally formed with, the substrate. In a preferred embodiment the electrical device is a bolometer and the electronic circuit is a read out circuit for the device. The platform includes a surface member and a leg, a proximate end of the leg being disposed on the substrate and the distal end being elevated from the substrate and terminating at the surface member. Preferably the leg and the surface member are corrugated. The supporting surface has a corrugation parallel with the leg. The surface member is supported, as a corrugated air-bridge, over the surface of the substrate by corrugated legs. The temperature sensitive resistive material is formed over the corrugated surface member. Electrical conductors are formed over the legs, one end being in contact with the electrical contacts and the other ends being connected to the portions of the temperature sensitive resistive material adjacent the distal ends of the legs.

    Abstract: Highly sensitive Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) sensors are described in the form of a optical resonator and a metal nanostructure deposited on surface of the optical resonator. In one embodiment the optical resonator is in the form of a photonic crystal, but other optical resonators are contemplated. Examples are described in which the resonant near-fields of a large-area replica molded photonic crystal efficiently couples light from a laser to dielectric-metal “post-cap” nanostructures deposited on the photonic crystal surface by a glancing angle evaporation technique, achieving a high SERS enhancement factor. Other constructions are also contemplated a metal nanostructure formed on a dielectric support deposited on the photonic crystal, including a metallic film deposited over close-packed surface of nanospheres, arrays of metallic nanotriangles, metallic nanorods, metallic nanohelices, arrays of metallic nanospheres, and roughened metal surfaces.

    Abstract: Wave energy conversion to produce electricity uses wave-engaging articulated, forward and after barges connected to a center inertial barge. A damper plate attached to the central barge minimizes heaving to increase stability. The barges use composite materials, steel or other materials that can withstand the impact and wear caused by a corrosive weather environment. A movable ballast weight in each barge adjusts the mass moment of inertia, and changes the natural pitching frequency. Electrical energy is generated from the motions of the barges and the movement of the movable ballast weights being converted by linear induction motor/generators and/or Pelton Wheel hydraulic systems connected to electrical generators. A dynamic computer control system controls the energy generating system to keep the forward/after barges and the movable ballast moving in phase with the wave excitation force. During dangerous wave action, the system is submerged and then re-surfaced when the waves have subsided.

A readout system for such sensors is also disclosed. One embodiment includes a first light source optimized for collecting label-free detection data, a second light source optimized for collecting ER fluorescence amplification data, and at least one detector. In one embodiment, the detector is an imaging system and includes a CCD camera for collecting both ER and label-free data.
