Analysis, Modeling and Characterization of Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells

Lyshevski S.E., Reis R.M., Rochester Institute of Technology, US

In biomedical devices, cell phones, computer and tablets, consumer electronics, communication, security and even micro air vehicles, energy harvesting, energy storage and energy management are of a significant importance. In many applications, solar cells and [...]

Time-Domain Monte-Carlo and Noise Analysis of MAPS Sensors

Jankowski M., Napieralski A., Lodz University of Technology, PL

A non-typical approach to extended simulational analysis for monolithic active pixel (MAPS) based binary pixel readout circuits is presented. Circuit solutions and simulation results are presented and discussed. Applications of particle detection/tracking are quite wide, [...]

Machine Vision System for Analysis of Drops-in-flight and Wetting Visualization

Kipman Y., ImageXpert Inc., US

An integrated, machine-vision system, JetXpert, has been developed for the visualization of faceplate wetting and the measurement of drops-in-flight. For print head wetting, the system uses a camera and light source set at an angle [...]

Innovative Strobe-Based Drop Analysis Equipment for Non-Contact Dispensing Systems

Kipman Y., ImageXpert Inc., US

A fully integrated machine-vision based system has been developed for visualization and measurement of drops-in-flight from non-contact dispensing tips. Unlike previously offered systems in the marketplace, this system can be used with any frequency-based jetting [...]

Towards an efficient multidisciplinary system-level framework for designing and modeling complex engineered microsystems

Clark J.V., Zeng Y., Jha P., Purdue University, US

We present advances in designing and modeling complex microsystems at the network/system-level. For design, we develop a graphical user interface that allows users to quickly configure complex systems in 3D using a computer mouse or [...]

The real-time, simultaneous analysis of nanoparticle size, zeta potential, count, asymmetry and fluorescence

Carr R., Hole P., Malloy A., Smith J., Weld A., Warren J., NanoSight Ltd, UK

A new nanoparticle sizing and characterisation technique is described which allows nanoparticles in a suspension to be individually but simultaneously detected and analysed in real time using a low cost instrument. Nanoparticles of all types [...]

Analytical Methods for Nanotechnology

Mowat I.A., Moskito J., Ward I, Hartzell A., Evans Analytical Group, US

Growth in the fabrication of micro- and nano- engineered materials and systems has led to increased demand for analytical and characterization methods for these materials and systems. Many of the new manufacturing methods are extensions [...]

Analytical and Computational Solutions to Piezoelectric Bending: A Comparative Study

Sabet A., Avula X.J., Washington University in St. Louis, US

Computational and analytical studies are conducted on piezoelectric beams of various materials in bending mode investigating the effect of variations in length and thickness on tip deflection that might be useful in MEMS actuators. Specifically, [...]

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 [...]
