A novel coordination chemistry or metal ion binding approach to controlling the site- isolation and orientation of virus particles, such as TMV, on a nanoarray template generated by lithography including Dip Pen Nanolithography. By using the surface chemistry that is inherent in many viruses, metal-ion based or inorganic coordination chemistry was used to immobilize individual virus particles without the need for their genetic modification. Single particle control will enable a wide variety of studies involving viruses that are not possible with microarrays because of the size mismatch between the architecture of the virus and the features that make up such arrays. These include: single particle, single cell infectivity studies, the explora...

A recent increase of facilities including power electronics and electric machinery devices has resulted in an increase in voltage or current waveform distortion. Thus, quick and correct evaluation of electric load composition having a power system signal distorted as a result of not only intermittent switching operations of nonlinear loads but also harmonics is required. The present invention suggests modeling for estimating electric load composition ratios for an electric power consumer having a distorted current signal considering an actual transformer. A Kalman filter algorithm or a conjugate gradient method, which is an optimization method, is applied to evaluate electric load composition. In particular, since the Kalman filter optimiza...
