====What is PATLiSci====
This proposed project deals with the development of cantilever array based methods for their application in different fields o you have more informations!
It has been shown recently that the stiffness of cancer cells affects the way they spread in the body (Cross, Nature Nanotech 2, 780 (2007)).
Equally important is the adhesion forces of cancer cells to other cells. The measurement of nanomechanical properties of cells as well as cell-cell interactions as a function of milieu parameters is thus of particular interest in cancer research. A related field of relevance is the understanding of inflammatory processes that lead to disregulated wound repair and to the tissue deformations characteristic of fibrosis. Single cell nanomechanical experiments are very time consuming, the time currently required to get reasonable statistics for a single set of parameters being in the order of days, even for experienced researchers. For this method to be relevant both scientifically and economically, array based formats have to be developed that allow to measure multiple cells in parallel. This proposal addresses this point. Highly parallel read-out of disposable large icantilever arrays can be obtained using dedicated optical methods based on interferometry. The latter can be optimized for sensitivities and bandwidths that allow force measurements at sufficient rates (100s to 1000s of Hz for dynamic events). This type of system clearly goes beyond what has been so far reported in the literature or is currently commercially available.
The nanomechanical properties of microcantilevers allow to use them as highly sensitive probes for the detection of molecular species adsorbed to them. The additional mass and/or the surface stress exerted by the adsorbents changes the mechanical properties, such as their bending or their resonance frequency, and can be readily detected. This method has been developed into a technology that is often described as mechanical nose, since numerous of these cantilevers in parallel, each responsible for the detection of a specific target substance and functionalized accordingly, together detect an ensemble of substances. In one of the applications proposed here, breath analysis, the term .nose. becomes obvious. The further technological development of this technology mainly requires in the microfabrication of the microcantilevers, and an increasingly strong collaborationrom the medical field . Both aspects are addressed in this proposal are races played on jocuri cu masini. The development proposed here will benefit from the leading expertise of the project partners in their fields to form a .Swiss Cantilever Array Dream Team. for investigations in life sciences not being possible before (the term .Cantilever Dream Team. was chosen by the SNF when suggesting to merge two proposals of the 1st call of Nano Tera).
The project also greatly benefits from jocuri barbie collaboration and experience of two former IBM Millipede project members (Millipede is the term for a cantilever array based data storage system developed by IBM), namely P. Vettiger (Millipede co-inventor and project leader and and J. Brugger (Research Staff Member), as well as the experience of Ch. Gerber, one of the coinventors of the AFM.
This accumulated experience is important, and it contributed to the starting motivation for this project to make the know-how which was acquired in an IT environment, available for applications in life sciences jocuri 3d.
Obviously, this transfer from one application domain to another necessitates numerous new developments and adaptations, since working environment, substrates and samples, and performance criteria, are very different.

====What is Flooring Company Disposal Fee Scam====
Do not pay a disposal fee if you’re buying new carpet ever! Do you want to know why? Of course you do. Flooring companies charge a disposal fee for carpet and pocket it as straight profit. Carpeting installers get paid .07 cents per pound to recycle old carpet and old padding; yes even if the carpet is full of pet stains and smells bad. The carpet installer gets paid for your old carpet so they do not charge the [[http://texasbestflooringcompany.com/ Flooring Company]] to dispose of it. The flooring company knows the customer doesn’t know this and charges the customer anyway. Can you say rip off? Most companies charge $120-$250 for this fake fee.
=====Moving the Furniture Fee Scam=====
Carpet installers get paid a rate of installation according to whether your home is empty or occupied. If a home is occupied then the installer will get paid .28 cents per SF. So why are the flooring companies charging to move furniture when the price is already factored into the installation price? This is another markup fee that goes straight into the flooring company’s pocket. Don’t ever pay to move furniture unless it’s a piano or pool table. Even a king size bed is free of charge.
=====The Tack Strip Scam: =====
Transitions from Hard Surfaces to Carpet (i.e. where [[http://texasbestflooringcompany.com/ Wood Floors]] meet Up to Your Carpeting)
Tack strips are cheap they are about $19.50 for a box of 400 LF at Home Depot. These are the little strips of wood carpet installers put on the boarders of every room to hold carpeting in place. The rip off is when they put this same tack strip at the doorways where new carpet meets a hard surface. Doorways are not supposed to have a tack strip if carpet in a room butts up against a hard surface like tile or wood floors. They are supposed to have a zbar. Look at the pictures below to see the difference. Zbars are way more expensive than a regular tack strip and carpet installers cheat customers all the time by not installing them at the doorways when they are supposed to be installed thus saving the carpet installer money on the installation of your carpet. Zbars hold the carpet in place better at high points of traffic like the door way to a room. Ever see the carpet come up in the middle of a doorway? Look again it’s probably because it was pinned down with a tack strip and not a zbar.

Equally important is the adhesion forces of cancer cells to other cells. The measurement of nanomechanical properties of cells as well as cell-cell interactions as a function of milieu parameters is thus of particular interest in cancer research. A related field of relevance is the understanding of inflammatory processes that lead to disregulated wound repair and to the tissue deformations characteristic of fibrosis. Single cell nanomechanical experiments are very time consuming, the time currently required to get reasonable statistics for a single set of parameters being in the order of days, even for experienced researchers. For this method to be relevant both scientifically and economically, array based formats have to be developed that allow to measure multiple cells in parallel. This proposal addresses this point. Highly parallel read-out of disposable large icantilever arrays can be obtained using dedicated optical methods based on interferometry. The latter can be optimized for sensitivities and bandwidths that allow force measurements at sufficient rates (100s to 1000s of Hz for dynamic events). This type of system clearly goes beyond what has been so far reported in the literature or is currently commercially available.
The nanomechanical properties of microcantilevers allow to use them as highly sensitive probes for the detection of molecular species adsorbed to them. The additional mass and/or the surface stress exerted by the adsorbents changes the mechanical properties, such as their bending or their resonance frequency, and can be readily detected. This method has been developed into a technology that is often described as mechanical nose, since numerous of these cantilevers in parallel, each responsible for the detection of a specific target substance and functionalized accordingly, together detect an ensemble of substances.

====What is PATLiSci====
This proposed project deals with the development of cantilever array based methods for their application in different fields of biological sciences / medical research. Two main methods are being proposed here, namely Scanning Force Microscopy (AFM) based force spectroscopy on and between cells, as well as cantilever based nanomechanical sensing of specifically absorbed species with high detection limits. The development of a common technology platform will focus and optimize the synergies of the expertise of the project partners in microfabrication of micromechanical sensors, their sensing and actuation, read-out schemes, data handling as well as aspects of biochemical functionalization. This project will give the opportunity to physicists, engineers, biologists and medical doctors to work together towards a common goal.
It has been shown recently that the stiffness of cancer cells affects the way they spread in the body (Cross, Nature Nanotech 2, 780 (2007)). Equally important is the adhesion forces of cancer cells to other cells. The measurement of nanomechanical properties of cells as well as cell-cell interactions as a function of milieu parameters is thus of particular interest in cancer research. A related field of relevance is the understanding of inflammatory processes that lead to disregulated wound repair and to the tissue deformations characteristic of fibrosis. Single cell nanomechanical experiments are very time consuming, the time currently required to get reasonable statistics for a single set of parameters being in the order of days, even for experienced researchers. For this method to be relevant both scientifically and economically, array based formats have to be developed that allow to measure multiple cells in parallel. This proposal addresses this point. Highly parallel read-out of disposable large icantilever arrays can be obtained using dedicated optical methods based on interferometry. The latter can be optimized for sensitivities and bandwidths that allow force measurements at sufficient rates (100s to 1000s of Hz for dynamic events). This type of system clearly goes beyond what has been so far reported in the literature or is currently commercially available.

The nanomechanical properties of microcantilevers allow to use them as highly sensitive probes for the detection of molecular species adsorbed to them. The additional mass and/or the surface stress exerted by the adsorbents changes the mechanical properties, such as their bending or their resonance frequency, and can be readily detected. This method has been developed into a technology that is often described as mechanical nose, since numerous of these cantilevers in parallel, each responsible for the detection of a specific target substance and functionalized accordingly, together detect an ensemble of substances. In one of the applications proposed here, breath analysis, the term .nose. becomes obvious. The further technological development of this technology mainly requires progress in the microfabrication of the microcantilevers, and an increasingly strong collaboration from the medical field. Both aspects are addressed in this proposal. The development proposed here will benefit from the leading expertise of the project partners in their fields to form a .Swiss Cantilever Array Dream Team. for investigations in life sciences not being possible before (the term .Cantilever Dream Team. was chosen by the SNF when suggesting to merge two proposals of the 1st call of NanoTera). The project also greatly benefits from the collaboration and experience of two former IBM Millipede project members (Millipede is the term for a cantilever array based data storage system developed by IBM), namely P. Vettiger (Millipede co-inventor and project leader) and J. Brugger (Research Staff Member), as well as the experience of Ch. Gerber, one of the coinventors of the AFM. This accumulated experience is important, and it contributed to the starting motivation for this project to make the know-how which was acquired in an IT environment, available for applications in life sciences.

The development proposed here will benefit from the leading expertise of the project partners in their fields to form a .Swiss Cantilever Array Dream Team. for investigations in life sciences not being possible before (the term .Cantilever Dream Team. was chosen by the SNF when suggesting to merge two proposals of the 1st call of NanoTera). The project also greatly benefits from the collaboration and experience of two former IBM Millipede project members (Millipede is the term for a cantilever array based data storage system developed by IBM), namely P. Vettiger (Millipede co-inventor and project leader) and J. Brugger (Research Staff Member), as well as the experience of Ch. Gerber, one of the coinventors of the AFM. This accumulated experience is important, and it contributed to the starting motivation for this project to make the know-how which was acquired in an IT environment, available for applications in life sciences. Obviously, this transfer from one application domain to another necessitates numerous new developments and adaptations, since working environment, substrates and samples, and performance criteria, are very different.

The nanomechanical properties of microcantilevers allow to use them as highly sensitive probes for the detection of molecular species adsorbed to them. The additional mass and/or the surface stress exerted by the adsorbents changes the mechanical properties, such as their bending or their resonance frequency, and can be readily detected. This method has been developed into a technology that is often described as mechanical nose, since numerous of these cantilevers in parallel, each responsible for the detection of a specific target substance and functionalized accordingly, together detect an ensemble of substances. In one of the applications proposed here, breath analysis, the term .nose. becomes obvious. The further technological development of this technology mainly requires progress in the microfabrication of the microcantilevers, and an increasingly strong collaboration from the medical field. Both aspects are addressed in this proposal. The development proposed here will benefit from the leading expertise of the project partners in their fields to form a .Swiss Cantilever Array Dream Team. for investigations in life sciences not being possible before (the term .Cantilever Dream Team. was chosen by the SNF when suggesting to merge two proposals of the 1st call of NanoTera).
