MTS Model Theory in Small Volume Electronic Materials
Efforts have been made to study and model the temperature-dependence of flow stress. Mechanical Threshold Stress (MTS) model is one of the most admired physical mechanistic models. The model was developed on the basis of [...]
Modeling of novel concept design for extremely small UHF band transmit/receive element based on multiferroics
Multiferroic heterostructures consisting of a piezoelectric or ferroelectric material and a ferromagnetic material with magnetostrictive properties allow for cross coupling of the electric and magnetic degrees of freedom via strain mediation of the magnetoelectric coupling. [...]
Design and Simulation of Electrostatic Imaging System based on MEMS
The electrostatic imaging system obtains the contour profile of charged target by sensing the electrostatic field around. MEMS technology has the characteristic of microelectronic integration and miniaturization. In this paper, an electrostatic imaging system is [...]
Simulation of Lags and Current Collapse in Field-Plate AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with Different Types of Buffer Layers
In AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, slow current transients are often observed even if the gate voltage VG or the drain voltage VD is changed abruptly. This is called gate lag or drain lag, and is problematic for [...]
Predicting the Response of an All-Elastomer In-Plane MEMS Tactile Sensor
Kalayeh K.M., Charalambides A., Charalambides P.G., Bergbreiter S., Charalambides A., Charalambides P.G., UMBC, US
This study is motivated by the need to develop highly sensitive tactile sensors for both robotic and bionic applications. The developments of advanced technologies in robotic grasping, motion of prosthetics, and robot assisted biomedical surgery [...]
Millimeter Wave Therapy
Millimeter wave therapy has been extensively studied in Eastern Europe. The apparatus varies from IMPATT and Gunn oscillators to IMPATT noise sources, while the power density can range from 1mW/cm^2 down to the Nano-watt range. [...]
The TubeClear® System – On the Market for Clearing Clogged Feeding Tubes – and Evaluating Increasingly Challenging Tubes in the Body: NSF SBIR Funded Medical Device Platform
Feeding tubes deliver critical nutrition and medications to patients that are unable to swallow. Unfortunately, these tubes often clog. Clogged feeding tubes can cause patients to go extended periods without food and medication. Traditional methods [...]
