Method and apparatus for the manipulation of particles by means of dielectrophoresis

An apparatus and method for establishing closed dielectrophoretic potential cages and precise displacement thereof comprising a first array of selectively addressable electrodes, lying on a substantially planar substrate and facing toward a second array comprising one electrode. The arrays define the upper and lower bounds of a micro-chamber where particles are placed in liquid suspension. By applying in-phase and counter-phase periodic signals to electrodes, one or more independent potential cages are established which cause particles to be attracted to or repelled from cages according to signal frequency and the dielectric characteristics of the particles and suspending medium. By properly applying voltage signal patterns into arrays, cages may trap one or more particles, thus permitting them to levitate steadily and / or move. In the preferred embodiment, where one array is integrated on a semiconductor substrate, displacement of particles can be monitored by embedded sensors.

Display device, display method, and display control program

The present invention provides a display device for retrieving and displaying the list information regarding the broadcast contents in which the list information corresponding to the program broadcast before or after can be displayed without making the complicate key operations. An information server 2 transmits a list of musical compositions broadcast in a designated time zone to a terminal unit 1, based on a retrieval key such as date and time zone from the terminal unit 1. The terminal unit 1 displays the received list of musical compositions on a display part 1a. At this time, the directive items for displaying the list of musical compositions broadcast before and after are displayed, together with the received list of musical compositions. The user is allowed to display the list of musical compositions broadcast in a preceding or succeeding time zone only by selecting a directive item by performing an operation in series with a selection operation for a musical composition within the list of musical compositions, without returning to other screen, or re-specifying the retrieval conditions.

Radio frequency control for communication systems

The present invention provides for a system and method for improvement of radio transmitter and receiver frequency accuracy for a local radio communication unit that communicates digital data with a remote communication unit. In the local unit the received radio signal is down-converted, and converted to complex baseband digital samples by an analog-to-digital converter. A downlink digital phase rotator applies a fine frequency shift to the samples in accordance with a receiver frequency offset command. The resultant baseband signal is used by the data demodulator and by a receiver frequency error estimator to obtain receiver frequency errors. A data modulator generates baseband complex samples which are shifted in carrier frequency by an integrated uplink digital phase rotator in accordance with a transmitter frequency offset command. The modulated samples are then converted by a digital-to-analog converter and upconverted in frequency for radio transmission to the remote unit. The local oscillator signals for both upconverter and downconverter are phase locked to a reference frequency generated by a VCXO. An automatic frequency control (AFC) function nulls the transmitter and receiver frequency error by the frequency adjustment commands to the uplink and downlink phase rotators or to the VCXO digital-to-analog converter (VCXO DAC) by feedback control principals based on measured receiver frequency error. During frequency track mode when communications between local and remote units are possible, the AFC only adjusts radio frequency via phase rotator commands and the VCXO command remains fixed, thereby avoiding communications performance degradation by VCXO frequency quantization error due to the VCXO DAC. The AFC adjusts VCXO frequency only during a preliminary acquisition mode prior to data communications, or to back out excessively large frequency offsets accumulated in the downlink and uplink phase rotators during track mode. When a VCXO adjustment is made in track mode, phase rotator adjustments are simultaneously applied to cancel the errors in transmitter and receiver radio frequencies caused by the step change due to VCXO frequency quantization thereby mitigating VCXO frequency quantization noise.

Dialysis on microchips using thin porous polymer membranes

Laser-induced phase-separation polymerization of a porous acrylate polymer is used for in-situ fabrication of dialysis membranes inside glass microchannels. A shaped 355 nm laser beam is used to produce a porous polymer membrane with a thickness of about 15 μm, which bonds to the glass microchannel and form a semi-permeable membrane. Differential permeation through a membrane formed with pentaerythritol triacrylate was observed and quantified by comparing the response of the membrane to fluorescein and fluorescently tagging 200 nm latex microspheres. Differential permeation was observed and quantified by comparing the response to rhodamine 560 and lactalbumin protein in a membrane formed with SPE-methylene bisacrylamide. The porous membranes illustrate the capability for the present technique to integrate sample cleanup into chip-based analysis systems.
