摘要:
The present invention relates to a substrate and a method for obtaining an electrophysiological measuring configuration in which a cell forms a high resistive seal (giga-seal) around a measuring electrode making it suitable for determining and monitoring a current flow through the cell membrane. The substrate is typically part of an apparatus for studying electrical events in cell membranes, such as an apparatus for carrying out patch clamp techniques utilised to study ion transfer channels in biological membranes. The substrate has a plurality or an array of measuring sites with integrated measuring and reference electrodes formed by wafer processing technology. The electrodes are adapted to conduct a current between them by delivery of ions by one electrode and receipt of ions by the other electrode and are typically silver/silver halide electrodes. This allows for effective and fast measuring of cells in configurations where the there is a direct electrical connection between the measuring electrode and the cell interior, a whole-cell measuring configuration.

A Micromechanical Microphone is formed with a housing and a transducer therein. The housing has a sound inlet on one side of the transducer and a pressure compensation hole on the opposite side. A sealing diaphragm is placed on each side of the transducer to seal it against humidity, dust and dirt. The transducer may be a capacitive transducer with an external bias or an electret based transducer. The microphone is useful in small devices such as hearing aides.
摘要:
A method of obtaining an electrical property of a test sample, comprising a non-conductive area and a conductive or semi-conductive test area, by performing multiple measurements using a multi-point probe. The method comprising the steps of providing a magnetic field having field lines passing perpendicularly through the test area, bringing the probe into a first position on the test area, the conductive tips of the probe being in contact with the test area, determining a position for each tip relative to the boundary between the non-conductive area and the test area, determining distances between each tip, selecting one tip to be a current source positioned between conductive tips being used for determining a voltage in the test sample, performing a first measurement, moving the probe and performing a second measurement, calculating on the basis of the first and second measurement the electrical property of the test area.

The present invention relates to a nano-imprinting stamp for imprinting nanometer-sized to mm-sized structures, the stamp (1) having a base part and a first and a second imprinting section (2,3), the first and second imprinting sections having a lithographic pattern (7) intended for imprinting in a receiving substrate. In a first aspect, the first and the second imprinting sections (2,3) are independently displaceable in a direction substantially parallel to an imprinting direction of the imprinting stamp. In a second aspect, the first and the second imprinting sections (2,3) are mechanically weakly coupled in a direction substantially parallel to an imprinting direction of the imprinting stamp. The stamp limits the effect of imperfections in or on the substrate to be imprinted with a lithographic pattern (7) and imperfections in or on the stamp and any combinations of such imperfections by localising the bending of the stamp to the base part (5) in-between the imprinting sections (2,3).

A solid state silicon-based condenser microphone comprising a silicon transducer chip (1). The transducer chip includes a backplate (13) and a diaphragm (12) arranged substantially parallel to each other with a small air gap in between, thereby forming an electrical capacitor. The diaphragm (12) is movable relative to the backplate (13) in response to incident sound. An integrated electronic circuit chip (3) or ASIC is electrically coupled to the transducer chip (1). An intermediate layer (2) fixes the transducer chip (1) to the integrated electronic circuit chip (3) with the transducer chip (1) on a first side of the intermediate layer (2) and the integrated electronic circuit chip (3) on a second side of the intermediate layer (2) opposite the first side. The intermediate layer (2) has a sound inlet (4) on the same side as the ASIC giving access of sound to the diaphragm.
摘要:
The invention relates to an imprinting device for imprinting nano/micro structures. The imprinting device comprises a second expandable cavity constituted in part by a membrane of the stamp. The membrane is flexible and formed in such a way so that when fluid is pumped into the expandable cavity then the membrane expands towards the imprintable substrate and imprints the substrate. The imprinting device is further provided with a force provider, alternatively a first expandable cavity, for forcing a contact part of the substrate to make contact with a matching contact part of the stamp.
