Continuous-flow microfluidics rapidly evolved in the last decades as a solution to automate laboratory procedures in molecular biology and biochemistry. Therefore, the physical design of the corresponding chips, i.e., the placement and routing of the involved components and channels, received significant attention. Recently, several physical design solutions for this task have been presented. However,...
Digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs) are gaining increasing attention with promising applications for automating and miniaturizing laboratory procedures in biochemistry. In DMFBs, cross-contamination of droplets with different biomolecules is a major issue, which causes significant errors in bioassays. Washing operations are introduced to clean the cross-contamination spots. However, existing works...
Paper-based digital microfluidic biochips (P-DMFBs) have recently emerged as a promising low-cost and fast-responsive platform for biochemical assays. In P-DMFBs, electrodes and control lines are printed on a piece of photo paper using inkjet printer and conductive ink of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Compared with traditional digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs), P-DMFBs enjoy notable advantages, such...
Flow-based microfluidic biochips are attracting increasing attention with successful applications in lab-on-a-chip experiments and point-of-care diagnosis. Physical design for flow-based biochips determines the number of flow-channel intersections, and thus affects the number of microvalves. As reducing microvalves will significantly improve the overall design quality and reliability, physical design...
WIA-PA is a standard of wireless networks for industrial-process automation, which is proposed by Industrial Wireless Alliance of China. Network manager is an integral role of the WIA-PA network. In this paper, we first look closely into the architecture of WIA-PA and the responsibility of network manager. More specifically, we set our focus on the schemes and algorithms involved in the process of...
This paper proposes a strategy on group security communication with non-Trusted Authority, based on Shamir threshold secret-shared cryptosystem and pairs of generators. In this strategy, the keys of nodes and group are co-produced by all the nodes within the group after consulting together. Once the keys have been produced, their validity can be authenticated by each of them, which can be used in...
Although Web service already can be implemented by decentralized control, its publication and discovery with universal description, discovery and integration for Web service is still based on a centralized structure. In this paper, we propose a new mechanism for decentralized Web service by employing the efficient dynamics performance of semantic Web and the efficient online explore capabilities of...
