Entropy-Enhanced Genome Analysis in Frequency Domain

Lyshevski S.E., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

In this paper, we report the application of an entropy-enhanced frequency-domain analysis concept to examine large-scale genomic data. This ensures superior coherency for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Different statistical methods are used in order to [...]

Three Degrees of Freedom Thermal Microactuator

Pasupuleti A., Sahin F., Walter W.W., Raisanen A., Hebding J.L., Hirschman K.D., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

This research is focused on the design and fabrication of a three-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) polyimide-based thermal microactuator. The proposed actuator can have displacements simultaneously in the X, Y and Z axes. The operation of the microactuator [...]

Effect of Thermophysical Property Variations on Surface Micromachined Polysilicon Beam Flexure Actuators

Atre A., Boedo S., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

Electrically heated, thermally driven, surface micromachined polysilicon beam flexure thermal actuators have been investigated using analytical methods that employ constant material properties either taken at room temperature or based on a set of averaged temperatures [...]
