Orphan date November 2010 The centrifugal mico fluidic biochip or centrifugal micro fluidic biodisk is a type of lab on a chip technology that can be used to integrate processes such as separating, mixing, reaction and detecting molecules of nano size in a single piece of platform, including a compact disk or DVD . This type of micro fluidic biochip is based upon the principle of microfluidics to take advantage of noninertial pumping for lab on a chip devices using noninertial valves and switches under centrifugal force and Coriolis effect to distribute fluids about the disks. This biodisk is an integration of multiple technologies in different areas. The designer must be familiar with the process of biology testing before designing the detailed micro structures in the compact disk. Some basic element components such as valves, mixing units, and separating units should all be used to complete the full testing process. The most basic principles applied in such micro fluidic structures are centrifugal force , coriolis effect , and surface tension . The micromachining techniques, including patterning , photolithography , and etching should all be used as long as the design is verified. Once the testing process is successful in the biodisk, the complex detection technique is started. There are many methods proposed by scientists in this area. The most popular method is immunoassay which is widely use in the testing of biology. The final step is receiving data from the biodisk by means ... contains the advantage of being low on cost.

Weight Avg. 75 lb. Age Unknown Sex Male Race Rodentian Species Potoroidaen Date of birth Unknown Place of birth Earth Class Mutated Hybrid Powers Can increase or decrease size and mass. Full extent of powers undetermined. Marital status Single Background Physically Jacob has the body of a mature rodentian, mentally he s a genius, but emotionally he is often very much like a child. Shy and seeking approval, Jacob is determined to prove his worth to the rest of his team mates. His origins are blurred. The result of direct genetic mutation and engineering by the alien invaders, Jacob was created for the sole purpose of being one of many ship tech mice . A biochip was inserted into his brain to help increase his mental capacity, but it also allowed him to gain access to latent powers. Now Jacob is able to increase and decrease his mass and size at will. And while he prefers to remain the size of a normal mouse, he can grow as big as skyscrapers or as small as the eye of a needle. Now Jacob is practically a living computer, capable of processing and calculating computer information in nanoseconds. This ability allows Jacob to practically do anything with a computer. It also lends to his strong urge of curiosity and creativity. He has become quite the inventor, creating new gadgets or re creating old ones. Due to Jacob s heightened intelligence he sees things in a rather matter of fact, black and white point of view. Often over analyzing things causes him to feel uncomfortable in normal environments and situations, thus he tends to be very shy around others. These fee ... more details

File Sarfus.DNABiochip.jpg thumb 400px 3D Sarfus image of a DNA biochip . Sarfus is an optical quantitative imaging technique based on the association of an upright or inverted optical microscope in crossed polarization configuration and specific supporting plates called surfs on which the sample to observe is deposited. Sarfus visualization is based on the perfect control of the reflection properties of polarized light on a surf, which leads to increase the axial sensitivity of optical microscope by a factor of around 100 without reducing its lateral resolution. Thus this new technique increases the sensitivity of standard optical microscope to a point that it becomes possible to directly visualize thin films down to 0.3 nanometer and isolated nano objects in real time but also in air or in water.

in universe date April 2010 Simon Illyan is a character in the Vorkosigan Saga science fiction novels by Lois McMaster Bujold . He first appears as a lieutenant in the ImpSec Barrayaran Imperial Security Service , set to keep an eye on Aral Vorkosigan as he serves on the flagship of the invasion fleet sent to conquer the planet Escobar planet Escobar . Illyan has had a bioelectronics bioelectronic device implanted in his head an eidetic memory chip which records everything he sees and hears, and allows him to recall that information instantly. This was done as a whim of the Ezar Vorbarra Emperor Ezar , who learned of the technology invented on the planet Illyrica. Since most such implants had produced schizophrenia or worse in their hosts, it is clear that Ezar regarded Illyan as expendable. In later stories Illyan, with the formal rank of Captain, is the head of the dreaded Barrayaran Imperial Security Service, or ImpSec . In the novel Vorkosigan Saga Barrayar Barrayar , Illyan maintained this title of Captain as a tribute to his former superior Captain Negri , who was killed in the War of Vordarian s Pretendership . However, his retirement pay is reportedly equal to that of a Vice admiral. Illyan s biochip aided memory added to his mystique as an administrator with ferocious attention to detail. Miles Vorkosigan , who worked under Illyan as a special agent, surmised that Illyan s successful integration with the chip was due to an innate ability to suspend belief or disbelief in multiple, conflicting sets of facts an ability also very useful to a spymaster. Illyan rose to the job of leading Impsec by being Aral Vorkosigan s right hand man when the previous incumbent, Captain Negri, was killed at the start of Vordarian s War. However with Barrayar at relative peace, Illyan was able to move Impsec towards a more benign role on Barrayar while extending its reach to Komarr and beyond, though he had to deal with more than a few harrowing domestic events, such as the Yar ... more details
