摘要:
Adjacent first and second transistors are integrated with a substrate. Each of the first and second transistors has a gate electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode and a semiconductive channel formed of an organic material, the semiconductive channel electrically coupling the source electrode with the drain electrode. The source electrode of the first transistor is electrically coupled to the source electrode of the second transistor. A molecular receptor is bound directly to a surface of the semiconductive channel of the first transistor. A non-zero offset voltage, which produces equal channel currents in the semiconductive channels of the first and second transistors after a molecule has bound with the molecular receptor without a like binding event proximate to the second transistor, is sensed between the gate electrodes of the first and second transistors.

A plurality of oligonucleotides are synthesized at a plurality of locations on a substrate using a plurality of dispensing bars. Each of the plurality of dispensing bars has a respective plurality of dispensing heads arranged along a respective axis. Each of the plurality of dispensing bars is operative to selectively deposit a volume of a respective one of a plurality of nucleotide bases in any of a row of locations. A positioning mechanism positions the substrate with respect to the plurality of dispensing bars. A controller controls the plurality of dispensing bars and the positioning mechanism so that, at each of the plurality of locations, a respective sequence of nucleotide bases is deposited to form a respective oligonucleotide.
摘要:
A target molecule at a binding site is detected using an optical waveguide having a surface proximate to the binding site, and a waveguide detector coupled to the optical waveguide. An incident light beam is applied to the binding site along an axis transverse to the surface of the optical waveguide. The incident light beam impinges an optical indicator associated with the target molecule to form secondary light which is coupled into the optical waveguide. The secondary light is detected by the waveguide detector to thereby detect the target molecule.

A method of measuring electrical characteristics of a molecule including providing a first metal contact having a major surface, an insulating layer overlying the major surface of the first metal contact and a second metal contact overlying the insulating layer so as to have an edge spaced a molecular distance from the major surface of the first metal contact. A conductive organic molecule including a metal binding group is coupled between the metal contacts.

A white light generating organic electroluminescent device including an organic light emitting diode emitting a broad spectrum light including a component of each primary color. A multi-mode microcavity structure is positioned to cooperate with the diode defining an optical length of the microcavity structure to enhance the broad spectrum light and obtain multiple resonant peaks, one at each primary color. A plurality of filters are positioned to receive and adjust the multiple resonant peaks to provide substantially balanced multiple resonant peaks.

An organic LED including a conductive layer with a planar surface and a layer of semiconductive polymer molecules having anchoring groups at each end, uniformly oriented perpendicularly on the planar surface, by deposition and self-assembly technique. A coupling layer positioned on the organic layer and a second organic layer uniformly oriented on the coupling layer, by deposition and self-assembly technique, parallel to the first semiconductive polymer molecules. Additional coupling layers and organic layers are alternately positioned on the second organic layer and on each other to form an LED of desired dimensions and a second conductive layer is deposited on the final layer.
摘要:
A contact lens for correction of astigmatism is formed from a single polymeric or copolymeric material. The lens has a central optical zone of greater rigidity than a surrounding non-optical zone. The rigidity of the central optical zone is sufficient for it to retain an astigmatism-correcting shape when worn on an eye, while the surrounding non-optical zone conforms to the shape of the eye.
摘要:
A method of passivating organic devices positioned on a supporting substrate including the steps of overcoating the organic device with a low temperature deposited film of dielectric material, and sealingly engaging an inorganic layer over the dielectric material so as to substantially hermetically seal the organic device. In a typical embodiment, the dielectric layer is SiO.sub.2 and the inorganic layer is a metal can.
