    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for the generation of periodic curved structures in a basic support material such as the basic layer for the magnetic bit cells of a magnetic storage device. The method includes the steps of generating a number of diffraction masks such that each mask comprises at least one transmission diffraction gratings having at least one of a different periodic concentric circular pattern, spiral-like periodic pattern and periodic radial spoke pattern; positioning at least one of the diffraction masks simultaneously or successively in a certain distance of the basic support material to be patterned, the distance being mask dependent; exposing the basic support material by directing light beams through each of the diffraction masks; and interfering the different light beams diffracted by the gratings on each mask in order to generate coincident light intensity patterns on the surface of the basic support material.

    Abstract: A method for printing a desired periodic pattern into a photosensitive layer on a substrate includes providing a mask bearing a periodic pattern whose period is a multiple of that of the desired pattern. The substrate is disposed in proximity to the mask, at least one beam is provided for illuminating the mask pattern to generate a transmitted light-field described by a Talbot distance. The layer is exposed to time-integrated intensity distributions in a number of sub-exposures by illuminating the mask pattern with the at least one beam while changing the separation between substrate and mask by at least a certain fraction of, but less than, the Talbot distance. The illumination or the substrate is configured relative to the mask for the different sub-exposures so that the layer is exposed to the same time-integrated intensity distributions that are mutually laterally offset by a certain distance and in a certain direction.

    Abstract: Sensing of microfluidic flow is carried out by confining and directing a fluid along a surface in a primary direction of flow past a cantilever beam which is mounted at one end of the beam to the surface. The cantilever beam has opposite beam surfaces that are oriented at an angle off parallel to the primary direction of flow of the fluid. As the fluid is directed past the beam at a rate such that the drag forces imposed by the fluid on the opposite surfaces of the beam are greater than the inertial forces of the fluid on the beam, a differential force is applied to the beam that tends to pivot the beam about its mount to the surface or bend the beam or both. The deflection of the beam in response to the differential drag forces may be detected to determine the rate of flow of the fluid.

    Abstract: According to the present invention a method for grafting a chemical compound to a predetermined region of a support substrate (4) is disclosed, comprising: a) irradiating selectively the support substrate with electromagnetic radiation and/or particle radiation in order to both define said predetermined region and to form at least one reactive functional group or a precursor thereof in said predetermined region of the support substrate; b) exposing the irradiated support substrate to said chemical compound or to a precursor thereof. Therefore, only these very few steps are needed to effectively grafting the desired chemical compound, such as an organic compound, to the predetermined regions of the support substrate. Moreover, the irradiation step can be carried out in a vastly flexible manner and allows to generate numerous distinct shapes of the predetermined regions. Further, micro- or nano-scale regions in the support substrate capable of forming reactive functional groups or precursors thereof upon exposure to particle or electromagnetic irradiation can be easily achieved.
