Improving Resistance to Foreign Material for Hearing Instruments

Lin W., Starkey Labs, Inc., US

One of the recurring problems with hearing aids is the frequent exposure to moisture, wax and other foreign materials that can degrade and eventually hinder their performance. This issue may be exacerbated as the demographics [...]

Fabrication and Recording of Bit Patterned Media Prepared by Rotary Stage Electron Beam Lithography

Moneck M.T., Lin W., Powell S., Okada T., Fujimori J., Kasuya T., Katsumura M., Iida T., Kuriyama K., Bain J., Zhu J.-G., Carnegie Mellon University, US

Bit patterned media (BPM) is a promising technology for magnetic recording at ultra-high areal densities beyond 1 Tbit/in2. To be viable, bit patterns must be reliably fabricated across 2.5” disks with few defects and sigma [...]

Synthesis and Biopharmaceutical Characterisation of a New Poly hydroxyethyl

Qi X-H, Lin W., He Q., Guan X-H, Nanjing Medical University, CN

A promising approach to improve drug delivery is to modify a polymeric backbone structure by means of copolymerization. Such obtained macromolecular prodrugs (polymer–drug conjugates) may offer many advantages compared to other drug delivery systems: increased [...]
