The fabrication of viable linear DNA photonic/electronic transfer nanostructures is an important prerequisite for the subsequent self-assembly into higher-order 2D/3D devices, structures and materials (high density memory, photonic antennas, nanoscale "fiber optics", nanocomputers, nano-sensors etc.). Unfortunately, it is very difficult to maintain the self-assembling and self-recognition properties of derivatized molecules such as biotin functionalized DNA sequences, when attempting to further derivatize the structure with multiply functionalized nanoparticles (streptavidin-quantum dots, gold nanoparticles, fluorescent polymer nanoparticles). Generally, overwhelming intra- and intermolecular crosslinking reactions prevent the formation of viable linear structures. Our goal is the development of nanofabrication techniques which will allow quantum dot functionalized linear DNA chains to be constructed without the need for complex chemical blocking group procedures.

We present a new method for data integration and security by mixing medical waveforms and images with encrypted patient identifiers and unencrypted ancillary information, such as acquisition parameters, diagnostic comments and notes in textual, pictorial, and voice forms. We vary the sampling rate according to the instantaneous frequency of the signal. Redundant samples (or pixels) are eliminated and replaced by associative data which are labeled using a status string encoded based on the Huffman and run-length techniques. This method achieves both data compression and integration simultaneously, allows synchronized presentation of information from different sources by using multimedia technology, and provides data security features.

Neurophysical interoperative monitoring (OIM) video is an important tool in biomedical applications and telemedicine and it is essential to maintain high fidelity of the frames even in low bit-rate environment. Toward this end, we studied a spatio-temporal 3D multiwavelet-based OIM video compression system that is capable of high quality output even under the demands of high compression ratios

To fasten an artificial retinal implant onto the epiretinal surface of the eye, our group has designed retinal microtacks. The microtacks were fabricated using two different micromachining techniques: 1) deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and 2) ultra-high-precision micromilling. Metrology was performed on each microtack design following fabrication, measuring all critical and overall dimensions. Force measurement experiments were performed to determine the loads required to insert and remove each microtack design in a synthetic material. This was carried out to verify the validity of the new geometric features added to the microtack. Each experiment consisted of three programmed zones: Insertion, Hold, and Removal. The required displacement and velocity were determined for each zone dependent upon microtack design.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of developing a single lab-on-a-chip (LOC) platform capable of performing dual, simultaneous separation and detection of multiple analytes. Computational modeling was performed to determine optimum device geometry and performance. The soda-lime glass-based device was fabricated using traditional microtechnology processes, including UV photolithography, buffered oxide etch (BOE), electrode deposition and compression thermal bonding. The device was characterized with a mixture of dopamine (2mM) and catechol (2mM) in a phosphate buffer (20mM, 6.5 pH). Modeling results yielded migration velocities of 0.6 mm/s and 0.42 mm/s for dopamine (electrokinetic (EK) mobility=60,000 /spl mu/m/sup 2//V/spl middot/s) and catechol (EK mobility=42,000 /spl mu/m/sup 2//V/spl middot/s), respectively. Experimental results obtained from microchips exhibiting the same EK mobilities demonstrated identical electropherograms in both detection channels with migration velocities of 0.58 mm/s for dopamine and 0.41 mm/s for catechol.

The threshold of the absorption spectra of colloidal cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots in electrolytic solutions is shown to shift as the concentration of the electrolyte is varied. The shift in the absorption threshold as a function of the electrolytic concentration is given by electrolytic screening of the field caused by the intrinsic spontaneous polarization of these wurtzite quantum dots. These electrolyte-dependent absorption properties will be compared with Fermi-level tuning in carbon nanotubes in electrolytic environments. Moreover, concepts for integrating such colloidal quantum dots in high density networks with biomolecular links will be discussed.
