摘要:
The surface of a doped semiconductor wafer is heated locally by means of a pump beam whose intensity is modulated at a first frequency. The heated area is sampled by a probe beam whose intensity is modulated at a second frequency. After the probe beam has been modulated (reflected or transmitted) at the first frequency by the wafer, the modulated probe beam is detected at a frequency equal to the difference between the harmonics of the first and second frequencies to determine dose of the dopants in the wafer. Such or similar type of instrument for measuring dose may be combined with an ellipsometer, reflectometer or polarimeter for measuring dose as well as thickness(es) and/or indices of refraction in a combined instrument for measuring the same sample.

A system for incorporating ferromagnetic materials into several microwave application is described. The system employs a multi-layer substrate. A substrate for receiving microwave signals uses a base layer which has tunable elements and a nanofiber layer which uses magnetic nanotubes. The nanofibers have a high aspect ratio and the nanofiber layer is embedded in the base layer.

An inflatable game field system includes at least two inflatable modules, at least one connecting pipeline and one air inlet system connected to blower(s). The inflatable modules are connected by the connecting pipeline, and the air inlet connects to one of the module at one end and connects to a blower at the other end, so that the air flow coming from the blower can move freely between the modules. This game field system can be setup in various locations, formed different field sizes and provide a safe game field.

Described are methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for igniting and/or sustaining a plasma in a reactive gas generator. Power is provided from an ignition power supply to a plasma ignition circuit. A pre-ignition signal of the plasma ignition circuit is measured. The power provided to the plasma ignition circuit is adjusted based on the measured pre-ignition signal and an adjustable pre-ignition control signal. The adjustable pre-ignition control signal is adjusted after a period of time has elapsed.

A method and apparatus for processing metal bearing gases involves generating a toroidal plasma in a plasma chamber. A metal bearing gas is introduced into the plasma chamber to react with the toroidal plasma. The interaction between the toroidal plasma and the metal bearing gas produces at least one of a metallic material, a metal oxide material or a metal nitride material.

Disclosed herein are methods and materials by which nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes, nanorods, etc. are bound to lectins and/or polysaccharides and prepared for administration to cells. Also disclosed are complexes comprising glycosylated nanostructures, which bind selectively to cells expressing glycosylated surface molecules recognized by the lectin. Exemplified is a complex comprising a carbon nanotube functionalized with a lipid-like alkane, linked to a polymer bearing repeated α-N-acetylgalactosamine sugar groups. This complex is shown to selectively adhere to the surface of living cells, without toxicity. In the exemplified embodiment, adherence is mediated by a multivalent lectin, which binds both to the cells and the α-N-acetylgalactosamine groups on the nanostructure.

摘要:
A system, components thereof, and methods are described for time-of-flight mass spectrometry. A microwave or high-frequency RF energy source is used to ionize a reagent vapor to form reagent ions. The reagent ions enter a chamber and interact with a fluid sample to form product ions. The reagent ions and product ions are directed to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer module for detection and determination of a mass value for the ions. The time-of-flight mass spectrometer module can include an optical system and an ion beam adjuster for focusing, interrupting, or altering a flow of reagent and product ions according to a specified pattern. The time-of-flight mass spectrometer module can include signal processing techniques to collect and analyze an acquired signal, for example, using statistical signal processing, such as maximum likelihood signal processing.

A system and methods are described for generating reagent ions and product ions for use in a quadruple mass spectrometry system. A microwave or high-frequency RF energy source ionizes particles of a reagent vapor to form reagent ions. The reagent ions enter a chamber, such as a drift chamber, to interact with a fluid sample. An electric field directs the reagent ions and facilitates an interaction with the fluid sample to form product ions. The reagent ions and product ions then exit the chamber under the influence of an electric field for detection by a quadruple mass spectrometer module. The system includes various control modules for setting values of system parameters and analysis modules for detection of mass values for ion species during spectrometry and faults within the system.
