Biochip for minimally invasive blood glucose monitoring

Zhang P., Ahmadi M.M., Jullien G.A., University of Calgary, CA

The most common techniques for blood glucose sensing are based on enzymatic glucose oxidation techniques because of being highly sensitive and specific to the glucose. But, the techniques need oxygen environment and the measurement accuracy [...]

Modeling and simulation of a monolithic self-actuated microsystem for fluid sampling and drug delivery

Zhang P., Jullien G.A., University of Calgary, CA

A novel MEMS-based microsystem including microneedle array with a self-actuated structure for fluid sampling and drug delivery is modeled, designed and simulated. The self-actuating mechanism and the microneedle array are able to be fabricated on [...]

RAM Design Using Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata

Walus K., Vetteth A., Jullien G.A., Dimitrov V.S., ATIPS Laboratory, CA

One of the most novel and powerful emerging nanotechnologies is quantum computing. This paper proposes a design for a parallel random-access memory (RAM) using Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata (QCA). QCA has the potential of becoming the [...]

Modeling and Simulation of Micromachined Needles

Zhang P., Jullien G.A., University of Calgary, CA

The research and development of microneedles are reviewed briefly and microneedles are classified. The features of those microneedles are analyzed and discussed. Based on those analysis, a new microneedle structure has been proposed. Those microneedles [...]
