Brick elements are very popular and have been widely used in many areas, such as toy design and architectural fields. Designing a vivid brick sculpture to represent a three‐dimensional (3D) model is a very challenging task, which requires professional skills and experience to convey unique visual characteristics. We introduce an automatic system to convert an architectural model into a LEGO sculpture...
We have developed an aqueous-solvent-based micro-molding technique for creating polymeric, bio-degradable micro-structures which can be loaded with delicate bio-active therapeutic agents. The process enables the incorporation of emerging protein-or DNA-based vaccines into sophisticated micro structures, e.g., microneedles, without damaging their biological efficacy as conventional (UV-or temperature-based)...
In recent years coherent terahertz (THz) radiation from stacks containing nearly 1000 Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (BSCCO) intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) has attracted a lot of research interest. However, in most cases, reported have been frequencies well below 1 THz, or typically around 500 GHz, which obviously can be a bottleneck for many applications. In our experiments, by optimizing sample structures...
A novel strategy has been proposed to implement high-performance ultra flexible RF resonators operated in the pseudo-Lamb wave modes. By integrating piezoelectric thin film (ZnO and AlN) with flexible polyimide (PI) substrate and using surface interdigital electrodes to excite acoustic waves, flexible RF resonators have been fabricated. Two-dimensional finite element analysis has been performed to...
The contour lithography method [1] is used to improve the fabrication yield of previously demonstrated [2] microfluidic Fabry-Perot (FP) refractive index (RI) sensors. The sensors are then coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based polymers to detect vapor analytes by solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Preliminary characterization of devices coated with two different polymers and exposed to xylenes...
Based on previous experimental investigations on pseudospark (PS) discharges, a small-scaled PS electron beam source was conceived to drive a 200GHz microklystron. Recent PS e-beam experiments producing a beam of 1mm in diameter and klystron interaction simulations will be presented. The microklystron will be fabricated using micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) construction techniques.
A multicavity microklystron operating in the terahertz region has been designed and simulated. This microklystron will be driven by an electron beam sourced by a down-scaled pseudospark discharge.
Summary form only given: Demands in plasma diagnostics, radiotherapy, medical research and advanced communications have in recent years resulted in the development of new radiation sources in the terahertz region (0.1 to 10 THz). A klystron is one attractive choice for generation of THz radiation due to its operation mechanism, efficiency and robustness and because its structure is amenable to being...
