    摘要: Provided are novel single-stranded oligonucleotide probes that have a triple-stem configuration in the absence of target binding to the target binding sequence. The probes also have a fluorophore and a quencher. In the absence of target binding to the target binding sequence, these single-stranded oligonucleotide probes are capable of forming self-complementary duplexes such that the probe is in the triple-stem configuration and the fluorophore is positioned adjacent the quencher. In the presence of target binding to the target binding sequence, formation of the self-complementary duplexes is inhibited such that the probe is configured to position the fluorophore away from the quencher such that a signal of the fluorophore is detectable. Also provided are methods of using the probes.

    摘要: A MEMs device comprises a component layer including a frame structure and at least one component movably coupled to the frame and an actuator layer including at least one conductive path and at least one actuator for moving the component. The component layer and the actuator layer are bonded together with solder or other materials in lateral alignment. Advantageously the layers are provided with metallization pads and are bonded together in lateral alignment with predetermined vertical gap spacing by solder bonds between the pads. In a preferred embodiment the MEMs device, however bonded, comprises a component layer, an actuator layer and an intervening spacer. The spacer provides the walls of a cavity between the component and the pertinent actuators to permit movement of the component. The walls cover the bulk of the peripheral boundary of the cavity to provide aerodynamic isolation. Advantageously the walls are conductive to provide electrostatic isolation. The device has particular utility in optical cross connection, variable attenuation and power gain equalization.

    摘要: A fluidic device employs one or more sorting stations for separating target species from other species in a sample. At least one of the sorting stations employs a magnetic field gradient to accomplish separation. In addition, the sorting station is integrated on a single substrate with one or more other modules for processing the sample. For example, the fluidic device may include both a sorting station and a separate trapping station that holds some or all components of the sample for additional processing. The trapping station may be located at a position upstream or downstream from the sorting module.

    摘要: The present invention includes several nanotube structures which can be made using catalyst islands disposed on a substrate (e.g. silicon, alumina, or quartz) or on the free end of an atomic force microscope cantilever. The catalyst islands are capable of catalyzing the growth of carbon nanotubes from carbon containing gases (e.g. methane). The present invention includes an island of catalyst material (such as Fe2O3) disposed on the substrate with a carbon nanotube extending from the island. Also included in the present invention is a pair of islands with a nanotube extending between the islands, electrically connecting them. Conductive metal lines connected to the islands (which may be a few microns on a side) allows for external circuitry to connect to the nanotube. Such a structure can be used in many different electronic and microelectromechanical devices. For example, a nanotube connected between two islands can function as a resonator if the substrate beneath the nanotube is etched away. Also, the present invention includes a catalyst particle disposed on the free end of an AFM cantilever and having a nanotube extending from the particle. The nanotube can be used as the scanning tip of the AFM as is know in the art.
