A microfluidic array, a method for producing same, a measuring system comprising the microfluidic array, and a use.

Microfluidic array, method of manufacture, measuring system comprising the microfluidic array, and use

A microfluidic device comprises a first substrate () made of a first polymer material and a second substrate () made of a second polymer material, the first () and second () substrates having respective bonding surfaces (), at least one of the bonding surfaces () having channel formations () so that, when the bonding surfaces () are bonded by surface deformation to one another, the bonded first and second substrates () and the channel formations () form at least part of a microfluidic channel network comprising a plurality of microfluidic channels, wherein one or more indicator pits (), separate to the channel formations () defining the microfluidic channel network, are formed in at least one of the bonding surfaces (), so that surface deformation caused by the bonding process causes a change of configuration of the one or more indicator pits ().

Method for manufacturing a microfluidic device

A microfluidic device includes a first substrate made of a first polymer material and a second substrate made of a second polymer material, the first and second substrates having respective bonding surfaces, at least one of the bonding surfaces having channel formations so that, when the bonding surfaces are bonded by surface deformation to one another, the bonded first and second substrates and the channel formations form at least part of a microfluidic channel network comprising a plurality of microfluidic channels, wherein one or more indicator pits, separate to the channel formations defining the microfluidic channel network, are formed in at least one of the bonding surfaces, so that surface deformation caused by the bonding process causes a change of configuration of the one or more indicator pits.

Microfluidic device

A method of manufacturing a microfluidic device comprises molding a substrate using a master die having at least one outer stepped formation; and forming at least one microstructured formation having an outer rim, the depth of the outer rim being shallower than that of the microstructured formation.

A method for manufacturing an optical waveguide, in which a waveguide structure including a waveguide layer of ZnS&#x2014;SiOis deposited on a first layer, wherein a first refractive index of the first layer is lower than the refractive index of the waveguide layer. A sensor arrangement includes a planar optical waveguide, a light source, a sensor, an application unit for applying an analyte on top of the planar waveguide and a processor connected to the sensor.

Method for manufacturing an optical waveguide, optical waveguide, and sensor arrangement

The current invention is directed to a method and optical storage media reading device for restoring data stored along a data storage path of an optical storage media, the data being stored on the optical storage media and being at least in part unreadable by a conventional optical storage media reading device due to chemical or physical changes within a recording layer or a reflective layer of the optical storage media. The method and device includes detecting deformations of a shape of a groove and lands of the groove extending along the data storage path, the deformations having been generated by a laser beam during a recording process of the optical storage media, and determining the data to be restored from the detected deformations and lands.

Method for restoring data stored on an optical disc and optical disc drive suitable therefore

A recordable optical disc () comprises at least one user data area () for storing user data, and at least one controlling data area () for storing controlling data necessary for accessing stored user data and/or for recording user data into a user data area (), wherein at least a part of the physical structure of the optical disc corresponding to at least a part of at least one controlling data area () and/or to at least a part of at least one user data area () has a modified physical structure () which is arranged such that a standard optical disc recorder cannot record user data into at least a part of at least one user data area and/or controlling data area ().

Recordable optical disc

A system for modulating digital binary data to be recorded on a recording medium comprises the generation of channel bits of the digital binary data to be recorded according to a standard for the recording medium with the exception that a maximum run length larger than that defined in the standard is obtained and/or the merging decision is influenced on basis of a random noise in a predetermined pattern or in at least one predetermined position on said recording medium and/or by recording at least one part comprising at least one predetermined repetitive bit pattern which normally, i.e. according to the standard for the recording medium, encodes into channel bits having a spectral distribution that shows at least one range of frequencies with a characteristic amplitude distribution.

Data recording method and data recording medium

A system for copy protection of record carriers for digital data is described according to which at least one predetermined repetitive bit pattern which encodes into channel bits having an accumulated digital sum value that exceeds a first predetermined limit and that is below a second predetermined limit is determined and recorded onto said record carrier by a mastering process so that said accumulated digital sum value which exceeds said first predetermined limit and is below said second predetermined limit is achieved in said at least one replaced and/or inserted part.

Copy protection system for optical discs

A package for a disc-like information medium, e.g. a compact disc, which package is made substantially from paper or cardboard and is provided with a body and a cover for it, with the body being provided with limiting parts which rest thereon and limit a receiving space corresponding to the circumferential line of the information medium to be received or of a case which may optionally be provided, into which the disc-like information medium is insertable and the cover covers the upper sides of the limiting parts in the closed condition of the package. In order to achieve the best possible protection of the information medium in such a package it is provided that an elevation rises from the body which is disposed centrally in the receiving space, which elevation is used as abutment for the central zone of the information medium and an elevation rises from the body which is coaxial to said elevation and is used as abutment for the outer edge zone of the information medium to be received.
