A novel on chip analysis of dissolved Hg(II) in drinking water

Deshpande K., Mishra R.K., Pal S., Danielsson B., Willander M., Bhand S., Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani-Goa Campus, IN

A novel biochip based detection for determination of ultra trace mercury (Ii), lead(II) and cadmium (II)in drinking water. High through put analysis, low sample volume, high sensitivity and rapid analysis is the hallmark of the [...]

Analysis and Simulation of Curved Bimorph Microactuators

Pal S., Xie H., University of Florida, US

Difference in strains in the two layers of a bimorph causes it to curl, thereby leading to actuation. Thermal, piezoelectric and shape-memory alloy based straight bimorph actuators have been widely reported. However, little attention has [...]

Dynamic Compact Thermal Model of an Electrothermal Micromirror Based on Transmission Line Theory

Pal S., Xie H., University of Florida, US

The two main challenges in electrothermal MEMS design are their slow response and inherently low efficiency. Therefore, thermal modeling is essential for design and optimization. A compact parametric model is desirable as it computationally efficient [...]

Synthesis of a nano electro-magnetic polymer and its application in a DCT biosensor

Pal S., Hummel E.B., Alocilja E.C., Michigan State University, US

This experimental study was focused on the development of a nanomagnetic conductive polymer and its application in a direct-charge transfer biosensor (Figure1) for the detection of Bacillus species. A polyaniline-γFe2O3 nanocomposite transducer was first synthesized [...]
