Advanced Film Thermal Protectors for Electronic Devices

Wang Y., UCI, US

This advanced thermal protector is based on the patent (U.C. Case No. 2012-130), which provides one-way heat flow function, i.e. enabling heat dissipation from the electronic devices, while preventing outside heat from thermally damaging the [...]

Passive Elements Modeling in Microwave/Millimeter-wave application

Wang Y., Yao J., Luo J., Tang Y., Tsinghua University, CN

Passive elements (e.g., transmission line, transformer and balun) are widely used in Microwave/ Millimeter-wave (MMW) applications. Compared with time-consuming Electromagnetic (EM) simulation, equivalent-circuit compact models for these passive elements are more preferable for IC designers. [...]

FIRMS: A Novel Technique for Magnetic Molecular Imaging

De Silva L., Hu Q., Wang Y., Xu S.-J., University of Houston, US

Molecular imaging usually employs a labeling technique, mainly optical labeling or magnetic labeling, to highlight target molecules. While optical labeling uses a wavelength parameter to achieve molecular specificity, there is no analogous parameter in magnetic [...]

EXIRM: A Novel Technique for Label-Free Detection of MicroRNA

Wang Y., Xu S., University of Houston, US

MicroRNAs play important roles in cancer and other diseases. However, due to the transient nature of the MicroRNAs, it remains challenging to achieve high sensitivity and accuracy to quantify MicroRNAs. We are developing a new [...]

Controllable Synthesis of Monodisperse CaF2 microsphere and the investigation on luminous performance of CaF2:Ce3+/Tb3+

Sun Q., Sun X., Hu X.Y., Fan J., Zhan S.C., Wang Y., Wang Z.Z., Wang Y., Wang Z.Z., Sun Q., Sun X., Hao Y.Y., Northwest University, CN

Highly uniform and well-dispersed CaF2 microsphere and hollow spheres with tunable particles size (100nm-900nm) have been successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal process using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium as a complexing reagent. The XRD results indicated [...]

The preparation and characterization of the Graphene-Like YBO3:Ce3+

Wang Y., Wang Z.Z., Hu X.Y., Wang Y., Wang Z.Z., Zhan S.C., Sun Q., Sun X., Miao H., Sun Q., Sun X., Hao Y.Y., Northwest University, CN

In this study, a new material of Graphene-Like YBO3:Ce3+ phosphors was synthesized by solvothermal method and layered by liquid exfoliation treatment, and it is the material with layered structure. SEM image shows that the thickness [...]

Mobility of paramagnetic nanoparticles in porous media

Wang Y., Bagaria H., Zhang X., Johnson K., Abriola LM., Pennell KD., Tufts University, US

Stable paramagnetic nanoparticles were prepared and their mobility in reservoir matrix was measured as a function of particle mass loading, rate of sulfonate fraction in coating polymer, and the presence of surfactant.

Y2O3:Eu3+, Tb3+ sphere particles doped anti-reflection and wavelength conversion bifunctional films: Synthesis and application to solar cells

Ji R., Hu X., Tian M., Han L., Jun F., Wang L., Wang Y., Zhan S., Zhang Q., Zhang Q., Wang L., Wang Y., Northwest University, CN

Solar energy, as a clean and sustainable resource, has great potential to take place of the traditional energy source. While the low photoelectric conversion efficiency limits the application of solar cells to a great extent. [...]

Towards Wireless Implantable Pressure Sensor to Monitor Compartment Syndrome in Trauma Victims

Wang Y., Allen C., AL-Qahtani S., Merdassi A., Chodavarapu V.P., Harvey E., Henderson J., McGill Universiy, CA

We describe a simple, miniature, wireless device that can accurately measure pressure fluctuations in the limb compartments of patients at risk of developing ACS. We plan to use temporary indwelling, direct pressure sensors consisting of [...]
