Cyanide Detection by Highly Modified Sol-Gel Biocomposite Sensor

Mozneb S., Lai J.C.K., Leung S.W., Idaho State University, US

Cyanide is an important industrial chemical but is also very toxic. Cyanide binds strongly with hemoglobin than that of oxygen which causes histoxic hypoxia, if cyanide is ingested into the bloodstream. This pairing reaction can [...]

Ultra-High Performance Immunosensor Prepared by Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with Nano Gold Particles and Antibody

Assan D., Mozneb M., Lai J.C.K., Leung S.W., Idaho State University, US

In previous reports, we have successfully fabricated biosensors that could measure chemical species that are important in environmental monitoring, as well as metabolites that are indicators of the proper functioning of our body. In our [...]

Nanoelectronic SET-based core for Network-on-chip architectures

Pes B.S., Guimaraes J.G., da Costa J.C., University of Brasilia - UnB, BR

Nanoelectronics is a very promising step the world of electronics is taking. It is proved to be more efficient than the microelectronic approaches currently in use, mainly in terms of area and energy management. A [...]

Comparison of Anchoring Materials for High Performance Sensors Modified with Nanoparticles and Enzymes

Gao X., Assan D., Lai J.C.K., Leung S.W., Idaho State University, US

We have previously developed some of the most sensitive biosensors/electrodes modified by Au nanoparticles and enzymes that are capable of detecting concentration levels below ppb. These sensors were fabricated with composite layers of nanomaterials and [...]

New Insulation Technology for the 21st Century

Morgan S., Smith R., Cormier R., Proactive Technology, US

Back in 1945, Everett Shuman promoted R-value as a standardized way to measure a material’s resistance to heat transfer. But R-values can only be achieved in laboratory conditions where there is no wind, no moisture [...]

Compare and Contrast HiSIM-LDMOS and BSIM based compact model of High Voltage MOSFETs for Analog Applications

Young A., Hall J., Luo Z., Xiao Y., Connerney D., Fairchild Semiconductor, US

A pair of scalable spectre models, one utilizes the Surface Potential based HiSIM-LDMOS model, and the other, the conventional Vth-based BSIM3v3 model, were extracted based on a test vehicle designed with both Drain-Extended CMOS and [...]
