As emerging technologies appear on the horizon of education every day, they are changing the world of teaching and research continuously with their adoption and integration into libraries, classrooms and research labs. Most of us are familiar with the libraries inside a lab, but hosting a lab inside a library holds tremendous potential for research and instruction. In this paper, we will feature a...
We present printed microscale multijunction (MJ) multi-terminal high-efficiency solar cells to overcome the epi-growth and current-matching limitations of conventional MJ cells. We demonstrate quadruple junction, four-terminal solar cells with measured efficiencies of 43.9% at concentrations exceeding 1000 suns, and modules with efficiencies of 36.5%.
Tool Path Generation is one of the important steps in 3D printing (3DP) processes. An extendable tool path generation software is designed aimed at supporting all 3DP processes in this paper. At first, an extendable architecture is created based on the principle of tool path generating which all 3DP processes should follow. Then, the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed with a Visual Studio...
DOCSCOPE is an ANR project dedicated to the exploration of new approaches to authenticate ID documents and to detect falsification or counterfeiting. In this paper we focus on the usage of printing techniques signature.
Organ printing, takes tissue spheroids as building blocks together with additive manufacturing technique to engineer tissue or organ replacement parts. Although a wide array of cell aggregation techniques has been investigated, and gained noticeable success, the application of tissue spheroids for scale-up tissue fabrication is still worth investigation. In this paper, we introduce a new micro-fabrication...
Pervasive computing is an advanced computing paradigm which makes computing available everywhere and anywhere. It allows users to interact with computers. Such computers can exist in different forms such as laptops, tablets, a pair of glasses (wearable computers) and clothes or wearable fabrics that are sensor-embedded. It is essential to explore the different applications of pervasive computing to...
In recent years industries and colleges have had a greater need for improved six sigma training. Presented in the following paper will be an up to date analysis of the current six sigma curriculum being taught here at Bradley University. This paper attempts to address the problem with the lack of educational training engineers have when entering a six sigma improvement process for their given industry...
Due to diffusion limitation, tissues thicker than several hundred micrometers have difficulties in survival and proliferation. 3D bio-printing technology enables to create fluidic channels within tissue structures for appropriate media perfusion. This solution supports viability for the simple tissue model with limited number of cells and scaffold types; however, an additional capillary network is...
The guide roller is an important part to ensure the stable web transmission in web processing system. The structure and mechanical properties always affect the web transfer stability. In this paper, the guide roller is simplified to a continuous beam model. Hermite function is established and the stiffness matrix of the beam element is derived. A multi-body combination finite element model is established...
The results of the authors' ambitious IEEE project involving the educational use of 3D printers are described. The intention was to involve college/university students in the construction of RepRap Prusa Mendel printers, with the goal of coordinating and accomplishing this in a single semester. Difficulties related to the availability and reliability of the printer used to create the plastic parts,...
Students and teachers in the Winchester (MA) public schools have been working to create a ‘pay it forward’ model that will help other educators and technical enthusiasts obtain and use their own 3D printers. Anyone who receives help from Winchester in building a 3D printer must agree to help two other school groups to build their own 3D printer, therefore fulfilling their role to ‘pay it forward’...
This section on the future of making includes the following articles describing various perspectives on technology's evolution going forward: "Design Evolution: A Medium for Ideas," by Yasaman Sheri; "Play and Teach: Making in the Future," by Enrique Gabriel Legaspi; "How We Will Live," Cynthia Erenas; "The Future as I See It," Ruben Estrada; "Open Science...
THIS year HP announced it would develop aworld 3D printing center in the Greater Barcelona area of Spain. The technology, 3D printing, is considered by many to be a transformational technology which could revolutionize manufacturing. The center will be a major R&D laboratory for HP world-wide. The transformation of the Barcelona office was neither obvious nor straight-forward. Thirty years ago...
This year the Information Issues in Supply chain and in Service System Design minitrack at HICSS has accepted a total of seven papers on important and highly relevant topics in supply chain, service system design, and other emerging research areas.
Disruptive IT innovations have already had a transformational effect on production, services, and business processes around the world, and now a constellation of new technologies--including quantum computing, smartdust, brain--computer interfaces, autonomous vehicles, and 3D printing--are emerging. The ongoing Digital Revolution and new techno-economic paradigms will challenge organizations and individuals...
This workshop introduces inkjet printing as an emerging new technique to realize low cost, flexible and wearable systems in the field of RF electronics. Inkjet printing is being used for many years for printing graphics, texts and images but only recently it has one more growing area of application which is printing electronic systems on variety of different substrates. The sudden rise of interest...
Terahertz transmission spectra of metallic checkerboard patterns with randomness have been investigated systematically. The spectrum changes from capacitive type to inductive one rapidly with the nominal size of the metal squares around the critical size with invariant-transmission at some frequencies. The characteristic properties of the transmission spectra are interpreted in terms of the Babinet'...
This paper presents Korean-Thai lexicon. This research aims to study and collect necessary features to construct the Korean-Thai lexicon for natural language processing (NLP) and speech processing researches. The research method used for study was that of (1) creating Korean-Thai lexicon consisting of 7 parts : Korean words, Korean Revised Romanization, part of speech, sub part of speech, special...
Although quality requirements (QRs) are considered as being of crucial importance in today's service-oriented systems, existing approaches almost exclusively deal with QRs from the service providers' perspective (namely late QRs). The motivation for this paper is to address the analysis of QRs from the service customers' perspective (namely early QRs). The work presented in this paper focuses on the...
