<title><![CDATA[Optoelectronic tweezers for microparticle and cell manipulation]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7612355.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[An optical image-driven light induced dielectrophoresis (DEP) apparatus and method are described which provide for the manipulation of particles or cells with a diameter on the order of 100 μm or less. The apparatus is referred to as optoelectric tweezers (OET) and provides a number of advantages over conventional optical tweezers, in particular the ability to perform operations in parallel and over a large area without damage to living cells. The OET device generally comprises a planar liquid-filled structure having one or more portions which are photoconductive to convert incoming light to a change in the electric field pattern. The light patterns are dynamically generated to provide a number of manipulation structures that can manipulate single particles and cells or groups of particles/cells. The OET preferably includes a microscopic imaging means to provide feedback for the optical manipulation, such as detecting position and characteristics wherein the light patterns are modulated accordingly.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Method and apparatus for controlling topographical variation on a milled cross-section of a structure]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7611610.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[An improved method of controlling topographical variations when milling a cross-section of a structure, which can be used to reduce topographical variation on a cross-section of a write-head in order to improve the accuracy of metrology applications. Topographical variation is reduced by using a protective layer that comprises a material having mill rates at higher incidence angles that closely approximate the mill rates of the structure at those higher incidence angles. Topographical variation can be intentionally introduced by using a protective layer that comprises a material having mill rates at higher incidence angles that do not closely approximate the mill rates of the structure at those higher incidence angles.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Mediated electrochemical oxidation of organic waste materials]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7611620.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A mediated electrochemical oxidation process is used to treat and destroy organic waste materials. The materials are introduced into an apparatus containing an electrolyte having the oxidized form of one or more redox couples. The oxidized couples oxidize the organic waste materials and are converted into their reduced form. The reduced forms are reoxidized by electrochemical anodic oxidation in the anode compartment of an electrochemical cell or reaction with the oxidized form of other redox couples. The redox cycle continues until the desired degree of oxidation is reached. The process takes place at temperatures between ambient and approximately 100° C., to avoid the formation of dioxins or furans. The oxidation process may be enhanced by the addition of reaction enhancements, such as: ultrasonic energy and/or ultraviolet radiation.]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Multilayer ceramic NO<sub>x </sub>gas sensor device]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7611612.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A mixed potential NO x  sensor apparatus for measuring the total NO x  concentration in a gas stream is disclosed. The NO x  sensing apparatus comprises a multilayer ceramic structure with electrodes for sensing both oxygen and NO x  gas concentrations and includes screen-printed metalized patterns that function to heat the ceramic sensing element to the proper temperature for optimum performance. This design may provide advantages over the existing technology by miniaturizing the sensing element to provide potentially faster sensor light off times and thereby reduce undesired exhaust gas emissions. By incorporating the heating source within the ceramic sensing structure, the time to reach the temperature of operation is shortened, and thermal gradients and stresses are minimized. These improvements may provide increased sensor performance, reliability, and lifetime.]]></description>
