摘要:
A method for selectively orienting molecules on a surface of a solid support. The method includes the steps of: (a) attaching a linker molecule to the surface of the solid support, the linker molecule including a head group that is capable of binding to the solid support, and a tail group that is capable of chelating to a metal ion; (b) subsequently treating the solid support with a solution containing the metal ion; (c) attaching a metal ion chelating tag to the molecules to form tagged molecules; and (d) capturing the tagged molecules on the solid support by contacting it with the tagged molecules to form a monolayer of molecules on the surface of the solid support in which a majority of the molecules are held in the same orientation with respect to the surface. The invention also provides a sensor chip formed using the methods of the invention.

An ice cube machine that generates ice cubes having an alcohol content of at least 2-5%. The ice cube machine operates at temperatures of no greater than 0° F., and typically at least 0° F. or colder. An ice dispensing system monitors the amount of ice cubes dispensed from the machine and can determine the amount of alcohol dispensed from the system.

An ergonomic scraper, such as a floor scraper using a standard replaceable blade, is provided. Embodiments include a scraper having an elongated handle, a scraper head for fixedly holding a blade mounted to a first end of the handle, an upper hand grip at a second end of the handle, and a lower hand grip between the first and second ends of the handle. The handle has an S-shape to reduce the angle between the blade and a workpiece. A pair of wheels is mounted near the scraper head for easily adjusting the blade attack angle. The scraper head is adjustable for changing the scraping angle of the blade to suit the user and/or the job.
摘要:
In an embodiment, an analog voltage recovery circuit comprising a plurality of capacitors having first terminals connected to a node having the analog voltage, and comprising a state machine, where during an operating mode the second terminals of the plurality of capacitors are coupled to a first rail, and where during a digitization mode the state machine couples the second terminals of a set of the plurality of capacitors to a second rail so that the analog voltage is closer to the second rail voltage than during the beginning of the digitization mode. In an embodiment, the analog voltage recovery circuit brings the node voltage to the second rail voltage at the end of the digitization mode, and then floats the node and couples the second terminals of the plurality of capacitors to the first rail to approximately restore the analog voltage. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
An embodiment may be described as a switched capacitor analog equalizer circuit with offset voltage cancellation, where an embodiment comprises an amplifier in which a feedback path from its output port to one of its input ports is provided during a reset phase, and where the amplifier's input port connected to the feedback path is also connected to one terminal of an offset-correction capacitor and one terminal of a sampling capacitor. The other terminal of the offset-correction capacitor is connected to a switch and the other terminal of the sampling capacitor is connected to an input port to receive a signal. During the reset phase, the switch is open, and during a sampling phase, the switch is closed so that the offset-correction capacitor and the sampling capacitor are connected in parallel. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
