Micromanipulators are devices for positioning and manipulating microminiature objects such as surgical tools, electrical probes, and fiber optics. To see and contact microminiature objects, micromanipulators must be used in conjunction with microvisualization equipment (high-magnification microscopes). In the field of microelectronics, very-high-resolution optical microscopy is combined with mechanical micromanipulators to provide systems capable of visualizing and positioning electrical probes on elements of 1 micron dimension. Optical components with resolution approaching the limits of visible light (1000X) are used with manipulators of the leadscrew, ball-joint design, and 100-thread-per-inch resolution to provide X-, Y-, and Z-axis positioning sensitivity of about 0.7 microns per degree. Micromanipulator systems may be used to perform a broad range of functions including electrical microprobing of integrated circuits (ICs). 2, record 2, English, - micromanipulator
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
For example, the major components of a system for microprobing to measure electrical characteristics of microelectronic devices can be divided into four functional areas: optics, device holder manipulator/probe, and accessories. 2, record 2, English, - micromanipulator

We examine how synthetic dynamic nanostructured surfaces control the attachment of pathogenic biofilms. The parameters governing long-range patterning of bacteria on high-aspect-ratio (HAR) nanoarrays are combinatorially elucidated, and we discover that sufficiently low effective stiffness of these HAR arrays mechanoselectively inhibits ~40% of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm attachment. Inspired by the active echinoderm skin, we design and fabricate externally actuated dynamic elastomer surfaces with active surface microtopography. 1, record 5, English, - high%2Daspect%2Dratio

L'invention concerne un nouveau procédé pour fabriquer à l'échelle industrielle des nanofilaments de cellulose (CNF) à rapport d'allongement élevé à partir de fibres lignocellulosiques naturelles. Le procédé consiste en un raffinage à haute consistance (HCR) multipasses de fibres chimiques ou mécaniques à l'aide de combinaisons spécifiques d'intensité de raffinage et d'énergie spécifique. Les CNF produits selon cette invention représentent un mélange de filaments fins ayant des largeurs submicron et des longueurs de dizaines de micromètres à quelques millimètres. 2, record 5, French, - %C3%A0%20rapport%20d%27%C3%A9longation%20%C3%A9lev%C3%A9

Les nano-objets sont des structures fabriquées volontairement dont une, deux ou trois dimensions extérieures sont de l’ordre nanométrique (entre 1 et 100 nm environ). Les nanoparticules et les nanofibres (respectivement trois et deux dimensions extérieures nanométriques) sont deux catégories importantes de nano-objets. Les nanoparticules sont obtenues par réduction de grosses particules ou par synthèse. Les nanofibres peuvent également avoir une forme tubulaire, tels les nanotubes de carbone; ces derniers peuvent être monoparoi (ou monofeuillet, SWCNT en anglais pour «Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes») ou multiparois (ou multifeuillets, MWCNT en anglais pour «Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes»). Pour les nanofibres, lorsque le rapport entre la longueur et le diamètre est élevé, on parle de nanoparticules à fort aspect ratio [...]. 3, record 5, French, - %C3%A0%20rapport%20d%27%C3%A9longation%20%C3%A9lev%C3%A9
