    摘要: A method of continuously drawing a series of alpha-numerical characters, an image, or a design or scene on a surface with a drawing instrument in which no line intersects any other line and no portion of characters is retraced. Images and designs can also be incorporated with continuous alpha-numerical characters. Also disclosed is a method of drawing an image on a surface that simulates a three-dimensional object or scene. Products can be created using any of the above-described techniques. Such products can include, but not be limited to greeting cards, postcards, apparel, coffee mugs, toys, games, puzzles, and the like. The surface on which the image is drawn can be made of material suitable for three-dimensional reliefs, so that visually impaired individuals can appreciate the work.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus relating to very large scale FET arrays for analyte measurements. ChemFET (e.g., ISFET) arrays may be fabricated using conventional CMOS processing techniques based on improved FET pixel and array designs that increase measurement sensitivity and accuracy, and at the same time facilitate significantly small pixel sizes and dense arrays. Improved array control techniques provide for rapid data acquisition from large and dense arrays. Such arrays may be employed to detect a presence and/or concentration changes of various analyte types in a wide variety of chemical and/or biological processes. In one example, chemFET arrays facilitate DNA sequencing techniques based on monitoring changes in hydrogen ion concentration (pH), changes in other analyte concentration, and/or binding events associated with chemical processes relating to DNA synthesis.

    摘要: In one aspect of the present invention, a light sensor is provided in the active pixel sensor cell for sensing incident radiation. The voltage corresponding to the photon-generated or other radiation-generated charge in the active pixel sensor cell is stored on a storage node via a sample-and-hold capacitor. Additional elements, such as source-follower transistors, may reside between the sensing element and the sample-and-hold capacitor. The signal is read via a readout source-follower (RSF) transistor. The readout source-follower drain is connected to the row select switch while its drain is connected to the output node on the column output bus. This configuration couples the storage node to the gate-source capacitance of the readout source-follower transistor. This allows the voltage on the storage node to increase proportionally to the increase in voltage on the readout node when the row select is closed and thus enables the drain current to flow through the RSF to the column output bus.
