    摘要: A method for fabricating a back-illuminated semiconductor imaging device and resulting imaging device is disclosed, which includes the steps providing a substrate having a front surface and a back surface; growing an epitaxial layer substantially overlying the front surface of the substrate; forming at least one barrier layer substantially within the epitaxial layer; fabricating at least one imaging structure overlying and extending into the epitaxial layer, the imaging structure at least one charge transfer region, the at least one barrier layer substantially underlying the at least one charge transfer region, wherein light incident on the back surface of the substrate generates charge carriers which are diverted away from the at least one charge transfer region by the at least one barrier layer. At least a portion of the epitaxial layer is grown using an epitaxial lateral overgrowth technique. The barrier layer can be a high energy implant formed substantially within the epitaxial layer, an optical shield made of an optically opaque material surrounded by oxide on all sides, or a combination of both. The imaging structure can be a CCD or CMOS imaging structure.

    摘要: A well-controlled serum study set (n=248) from women being followed and evaluated for the presence of ovarian cancer was used to extend serum proteomic pattern analysis to a higher resolution mass spectrometer instrument platform to explore the existence of multiple distinct highly accurate diagnostic sets of features present in the same mass spectrum. Multiple highly accurate diagnostic proteomic feature sets exist within human sera mass spectra. Using high-resolution mass spectral data, at least 56 different patterns were discovered that achieve greater than 85% sensitivity and specificity in testing and validation. Four of those feature sets exhibited 100% sensitivity and specificity in blinded validation. The sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic models generated from high-resolution mass spectral data were superior (P

    摘要: A model of a particular biological state can be developed. The model may be used to determine if an unknown biological sample exhibits a particular biological state. This can be done by receiving either a biological sample or data associated with the biological sample. After the data is received, the data may be input into the model. In one embodiment, the acquisition of the data associated with the biological sample is performed at a first location and the imputing of the data into the model is performed at a second location different than the first location. Unless the data maps identically to the model, the data would have an inherent effect on the position of the particular clusters within the discriminatory pattern, if it is allowed to affect the model. The modeling software can keep track of the net effect on the model that each sample received has on the position of the model. If the model has drifted outside of a predetermined tolerance, the model can be updated. Various business relationships may be developed to undertake various steps of the overall method for providing a diagnosis to a patient.
