The next-generation implantable high-power prosthetic devices, such as retinal prostheses, will be powered by inductively coupled coils of high efficiency. However, the use of high-frequency power carriers almost always induces significant AC resistance due to skin and proximity effects, which limits the overall coupling efficiency. Inspired by the widely used round Litz wire, planar coils with planar...
This work presents a MEMS intraocular coil which is designed to be flexible, biocompatible and electrically efficient as the secondary power coil of inductive coupling links for retinal prostheses applications. A microfabricated structure of parylene-gold-parylene is combined with a folding technique to create a conducting strip with increased cross-section and length than is possible without folding,...
This paper reports a simple fabrication approach to create microstructures in electrospun polymer nanofibers. A collector chip with micropatterned electrodes generates electromechanical energy wells above the substrate, which induce selective patterning of polymer nanofibers on the collecting surface. This work provides a sound technology to interface electrospun nanomaterials to larger scaled structures...
This paper reports the use of electrical discharge for fabricating microstructures on electrospun polymer nanofibers. Microchips containing an array of conductive microelectrodes are fabricated. Electrical discharges are induced by applying high electrical voltage to these microelectrodes. The thermal energy generated by the micropatterned discharge arcs elevates the temperature in localized regions...
The paper reports a method to characterize polymer microstructures whose characteristic dimensions are on the order of or less than a few micrometers. The closely spaced polymer microstructures with appropriate aspect ratios were fabricated. The interstructural collapse was introduced into these microstructures by evaporating the solution where the microstructures were immerged. The collapse was investigated...
