The echo time in an MR pulse sequence is optimized in accordance with the application desired. Advantageously, the echo time is selected to cause a partial volume signal cancellation from veins as compared with background tissue, and the MR pulse sequence is of a velocity-compensated type. MR data are acquired from gradient echoes. Multiple echoes may be used to extract information (such as volume content and susceptibility) about the material under investigation.

The invention is a process for stereoselectively producing a dioxolane nucleoside analogue from an anomeric mixture of and anomers represented by the following formula A or formula B: wherein R is selected from the group consisting of C alkyl and C aryl and Bz is benzoyl. The process comprises hydrolyzing said mixture with an enzyme selected from the group consisting of Protease N, Alcalase, Savinase, ChiroCLEC-BL, PS-30, and ChiroCLEC-PC to stereoselectively hydrolyze predominantly one anomer to form a product wherein R is replaced with H. The process also includes the step of separating the product from unhydrolyzed starting material. Additionally, the functional group at the C4 position is stereoselectively replaced with a purinyl or pyrimidinyl or derivative thereof.

A method for inspecting a semiconductor wafer using an SEM having a nominal focal plane and operable for guiding a beam. The SEM having a stage movable in each of an X-, Y-, and Z-direction, including moving the SEM stage in the XY-direction to a first location for inspection, optically sensing the location of the top surface of an area in relation to the focal plane of the stage, adjusting the position of the stage in the Z-direction so that the top surface of the area is substantially at the focal plane, inspecting the areas, and moving the stage in the XY-direction to the next location such that the next area is under the SEM beam for inspection. The Z-stage using a non-contact optical sensor to provide feedback to drive a plurality of piezoelectric actuator to move the wafer to the focal plane.

Method and apparatus for removing and neutralizing charges. The method includes loading a structure into a chamber. The structure includes a first surface and a plurality of charges away from the first surface. Additionally, the method includes supplying a first ionized gas to the first surface of the structure, and radiating the structure with a first ultraviolate light. The supplying a first ionized gas and the radiating the structure with a first ultraviolate light are performed simultaneously for a first period of time.

An electrochemical cell for detection and quantification of analytes in a liquid sample, particularly a liquid sample having a small volume. In a preferred embodiment, the electrochemical cell comprises an assembly of conducting layers and insulating layers. The electrochemical cell can be formed by depositing conducting materials and insulating materials in alternating layers on an insulating substrate. It is preferred that the layer furthest from the insulating substrate be an insulating layer to minimize the damage of the conducting layers during handling of the electrochemical cell. In another embodiment, the assembly of conducting layers and insulating layers can be formed on both major surfaces of the insulating substrate. The assembly can comprise at least one working electrode and at least one other electrode, e. g. , a dual-purpose reference/counter electrode.
