An optical polymeric biochip system based on the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) photo array sensor and polymeric enzyme biochip for rapidly quantitating uric acid in a one-step procedure was developed. The CMOS sensor was designed with N+/P-well structure and manufactured using a standard 0.5 mum CMOS process. The polymeric enzyme biochip was immobilized with uricase-peroxidase and used to fill the reacting medium with the sample. This study encompasses the cloning of the Bacillus subtilis uricase gene and expression in Escherichia coli, as well as the purification of uricase and measurement of its activity. The cloned uricase gene included an open reading frame of 1491 nucleotides that encodes a protein of approximately 55 kDa. The expression of the putative MBP-fusion protein involved approximately 98 kDa of the protein. The CMOS sensor response was stronger at a higher temperature range of 20-40degreesC, with optimal pH at 8.5. The calibration curve of purified uric acid was linear in the concentration range from 2.5 to 12.5 mg/dL. The results obtained for serum uric acid correlated quite closely with those obtained using the Beckman Synchron method. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.

The invention relates to an integrated method for manufacturing a combined solid immersion lens (SIL) and submicron aperture, and device thereof, comprising depositing a sacrificial layer on a substrate, coating a photoresist on the sacrificial layer and using photo-lithography to form an aperture on the photoresist, applying reflow and etching process to remove the sacrificial layer below the aperture, depositing a conductive material on the photoresist and performing electroplating to reduce the aperture size, then coating another photoresist and using photo-lithography to form a cylindrical phtoresist above the aperture, applying a high temperature thermal reflow to form a microlens, and finally removing the substrate to obtain an optical read/write apparatus with a combined solid immersion lens (SIL) and submicron aperture.

A compact variable optical attenuator (VOA) driving by thermal actuating principle with dual shutters for single mode fibers is developed. The fabricated thermal actuator array is capable of achieving larger displacement with low applied voltage than traditional thermal actuator array. The designed dual shutters can be driven independently or simultaneously, which increase the accurate tuning range and decrease working voltage for variable optical attenuator. The device is fabricated using MEMS-SOI fabrication technology, which greatly simplifies the traditional surface micromachining technology and increases its corresponding reliability. The newly designed thermal actuator array is capable of traveling 20 Pm distance with less than 5 V applied voltage for VOA application. The insertion loss of the fabricated VOA is below 1.5 dB. The initial return loss and working return loss is about 50 and 40 dB, respectively. Experimental results indicated that the response time is below 4 ms and maximum attenuation range is about 40 and 45 dB at 1550 and 1310 nm, respectively. The working voltage and temperature of the designed VOA is under 5 V and 550 K, respectively. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Low-temperature solution approach toward highly aligned ZnO nanotip arrays

Highly aligned and free-standing ZnO nanotip arrays grown on the ZnO films by soft chemical method are proposed. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the ZnO nanotips are hexagonal wurtzite structure, and the c-axes of nanotips are perfectly along the substrate surface normal. HRTEM demonstrates the ZnO nanotip to be a single crystal. Room temperature photoluminescence of the ZnO nanotips has a strong UV emission band at 378 nm. The field emission of ZnO nanotip arrays shows a turn-on field of about 10.8 V/mum at a current density of 0.1 muA/cm and emission current density up to about 1 mA/cm(2) at a bias field of 19.5 V/mum. The mild technique for fabricating ZnO nanotip arrays is believed to open novel possibilities for nanoscale optoelectronic device applications. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Direct evidence of open ray orbits in a square two-dimensional resonator of dye-doped polymers

Lasing has been observed in optically pumped 4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-(p-dimethylaminostyrl)-4H-pyran-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) square-shaped micropillars that allow four-bounce closed and open ray orbits with internal incident angle theta(inc) > theta(c) (the critical angle for total internal reflection) and with the associated surface waves that emit at the four corners. We also detect strongly TE-polarized and spatially varying omission from the square sidewalls that is due to leaky open ray orbits with theta(inc) near but less than theta(c) for two of the four bounces. By selectively pumping the square microcavity with a stripe-shaped beam, we excite different four-bounce ray orbits. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
Compromise solution by MCDM methods: A comparative analysis of VIKOR and TOPSIS

The multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods VIKOR and TOPSIS are based on an aggregating function representing "closeness to the ideal", which originated in the compromise programming method. In VIKOR linear normalization and in TOPSIS vector normalization is used to eliminate the units of criterion functions. The VIKOR method of compromise ranking determines a compromise solution, providing a maximum "group utility" for the "majority" and a minimum of an individual regret for the "opponent". The TOPSIS method determines a solution with the shortest distance to the ideal solution and the greatest distance from the negative-ideal solution, but it does not consider the relative importance of these distances. A comparative analysis of these two methods is illustrated with a numerical example, showing their similarity and some differences. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Dynamic multiple responses by ideal solution analysis

High technology industry must continuously improve product quality and multiple correlated product quality characteristics must be assessed simultaneously due to product complexity. While many Taguchi method applications have addressed a state system problem, dynamic multi-response problems have seldom been examined. This study presents a novel optimization procedure for dynamic multiple responses based on Taguchi's parameter design. The signal to noise (SN) ratio and system sensitivity are used to assess the performance of each response. Principal component analysis is then performed on the SN values and system sensitivity values to obtain a set of uncorrelated components. The optimization direction for each component is also determined based on the corresponding variation mode chart. Finally, the relative closeness to the ideal solution resulting from the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution is determined as an overall performance index for multiple responses. A case study obtained from biological reduction of an ethyl acetoacetate process demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed procedure. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

本發明垂直式梳狀致動器之製法，係於基材上以電鑄形成第一犧牲層後，並於該第一犧牲層上以電鑄形成下梳狀電極，再於該下梳狀電極上電鑄形成第二犧牲層，然後在第二犧牲層上先後以沈積法形成第三犧牲層及上梳狀電極，最後蝕刻上述各犧牲層而得到垂直式梳狀致動器。藉此解決習知技術致動效果不佳、致動行程受限、基底材料受限，或上、下電極之側向間距受限於對準精度而造成控制不佳的問題，相對可達到降低致動電壓、增大行程及適用各種基材的功效。
