Notice of Intent to Grant Partially
Exclusive License of the United States
Patent Application No. 12/365,698,
‘‘Reusable Sample Holding Device
Permitting Ready Loading of Very
Small Wet Samples,’’ Filed Feb 4, 2009
Department of the Army, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, DOD.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:
In accordance with 37 CFR
404.7(a) (1) (i), announcement is made
of a prospective partially exclusive
license of the following U.S. Patent
Application 12/365,698 Filed February
04, 2009 (published on Aug. 5, 2010
with Pub. No. US 2010/0193398 A1) to
Hummingbird Scientific, Inc for
achieving commercial sales of a reusable
sample holding device permitting ready
loading of very small wet samples for
use with high resolution imaging
systems of various types, to include
those requiring a vacuum environment.
DATES: Written objections must be filed
not later than 15 days following
publication of this announcement.
ADDRESSES: United States Army
Engineer Research and Development
Center, Attn: CEERD–OT (Ms. Bea
Shahin), 2902 Newmark Drive,
Champaign, IL 6182–1076.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Bea Shahin (217) 373–7234, FAX (217)
373–7210, e-mail:
Bea.S.Shahin@usace.army.mil.
SUMMARY:
This
patent application claims a reusable
sample-holding device for readily
loading very small wet samples for
observation of the samples by
microscopic equipment, in particular in
a vacuum environment. Embodiments
may be used with a scanning electron
microscope (SEM), a transmission
electron microscope (TEM), an X-ray
microscope, optical microscope, and the
like. For observation of the sample,
embodiments provide a thin-membrane
window etched in the center of each of
two silicon wafers abutting to contain
the sample in a small uniform gap
formed between the windows. This gap
may be adjusted by employing spacers.
Alternatively, the thickness of a film
established by the fluid in which the
sample is incorporated determines the
gap without need of a spacer. To
optimize resolution each window may
have a thickness on the order of 50 nm
and the gap may be on the order of 50
nm.
