A Rapid Prototyping and Mass-Production Platform of Microfluidic Devices

Craig Kung P., Kung Y.L., Holcombe D., Grace R.H., Ungelenk G., Piechotka E., Seiferth W., Optotrack, Inc., US

Microfluidic chips, disposable biosensors, and micro-optical devices have been primarily manufactured from silicon- or glass-based substrates for years. This approach involves sophisticated production tools, tedious development processes, and clean-room conditions. Given today’s fierce competition in [...]

Wavelet Transform Image Compression Prototype

Watkins L., Perry K.R., Hurley J.S., Olson B., Pain B., Clark Atlanta Univeristy, US

In this study, we seek to develop a low power, area efficient wavelet compression chip capable of reconstructing sharp images at acceptable noise levels. It can be used in conjunction with such devices as the [...]
