Cantilevered Probes Having Piezoelectric Layer, Treated Section, And Resistive Heater, And Method Of Use For Chemical Detection

View page
US Patent:
8136385, Mar 20, 2012
Filed:
Aug 27, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/845661
Inventors:
Jesse D. Adams - Reno NV, US
Benjamin S. Rogers - Reno NV, US
Todd A. Sulchek - Oakland CA, US
Assignee:
Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, on Behalf of the University of the University of Nevada, Reno - Reno NV
International Classification:
G01N 7/00
US Classification:
73 3105, 73 6141
Abstract:
The invention provides a liquid cell for an atomic force microscope. The liquid cell includes a liquid cell housing with an internal cavity to contain a fluid, a plurality of conductive feedthroughs traversing the liquid cell housing between the internal cavity and a dry side of the liquid cell, a cantilevered probe coupled to the liquid cell housing, and a piezoelectric drive element disposed on the cantilevered probe. The cantilevered probe is actuated when a drive voltage is applied to the piezoelectric drive element through at least one of the conductive feedthroughs. A method of imaging an object in a liquid medium and a method of sensing a target species with the liquid cell are also disclosed.

Molded Microfluidic Fluid Cell For Atomic Force Microscopy

US Patent:
8214917, Jul 3, 2012
Filed:
May 28, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/790513
Inventors:
Todd A. Sulchek - Atlanta GA, US
Siping Roger Qiu - Livermore CA, US
Damien J. Noga - Atlanta GA, US
David K. Schoenwald - Douglasville GA, US
Assignee:
Georgia Tech Research Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
G01Q 30/20
B28B 11/00
US Classification:
850 18, 850 40, 850 48, 850 52, 250310
Abstract:
A microfluidic cell includes a compressible block and a cantilever. The compressible block includes a first horizontal surface, an opposite second horizontal surface and a plurality of vertical surfaces therebetween. A gasket structure depends downwardly from the second horizontal surface. The gasket structure defines an open cavity therein. The compressible block defines a fluid inlet passage and a fluid outlet passage each in fluid communication with the cavity and opening to a selected one of the first horizontal surface and one of the plurality of vertical surfaces. The cantilever includes body portion and a beam extending laterally therefrom. The body portion is embedded in the compressible block and a portion of the beam extends into the cavity defined by the gasket structure.

Cantilevered Probe Detector With Piezoelectric Element

US Patent:
8220067, Jul 10, 2012
Filed:
Mar 29, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/748788
Inventors:
Jesse D. Adams - Reno NV, US
Todd A. Sulchek - Oakland CA, US
Stuart C. Feigin - Reno NV, US
Assignee:
Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education - Reno NV
International Classification:
G01Q 70/08
US Classification:
850 56, 250234, 250288, 422 50, 422 8201, 422 6801, 436183, 436164, 850 7, 850 57, 850 9, 850 10, 850 59
Abstract:
A disclosed chemical detection system for detecting a target material, such as an explosive material, can include a cantilevered probe, a probe heater coupled to the cantilevered probe, and a piezoelectric element disposed on the cantilevered probe. The piezoelectric element can be configured as a detector and/or an actuator. Detection can include, for example, detecting a movement of the cantilevered probe or a property of the cantilevered probe. The movement or a change in the property of the cantilevered probe can occur, for example, by adsorption of the target material, desorption of the target material, reaction of the target material and/or phase change of the target material. Examples of detectable movements and properties include temperature shifts, impedance shifts, and resonant frequency shifts of the cantilevered probe. The overall chemical detection system can be incorporated, for example, into a handheld explosive material detection system.

Microfluidic Device For Separation Of Particles

US Patent:
8356714, Jan 22, 2013
Filed:
Jun 2, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/792462
Inventors:
Todd A. Sulchek - Atlanta GA, US
Alexander Alexeev - Atlanta GA, US
Gonghao Wang - Atlanta GA, US
Assignee:
Georgia Tech Research Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
A01F 12/44
US Classification:
209132, 209155, 2104331, 210650
Abstract:
An apparatus for separating particles includes a first planar wall and a spaced apart second planar wall parallel to the first planar wall. The first planar wall and the second planar wall define a passage therebetween, which is disposed along a fluid flow axis. A first plurality of spaced apart elongated ridges extends into the passage from the first planar wall. The first plurality of spaced apart elongated ridges is disposed along a diagonal direction relative to the fluid flow axis. When a fluid is moved through the passage in a direction corresponding to the fluid flow axis, particles of a first type will tend to move in a first direction that is diagonally away from the fluid flow axis and particles of a second type, different from the first type, will tend to move in a second direction that is different from the first direction.
