PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a recent well researched technique which can be employed to obtain an amplified DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid). A continuous flow polymerase chain reaction with integrated MEMS based design micro heater for DNA amplification is implemented. Temperature ... En savoir plus

Although mammography is extremely important diagnostic technique, it suffers from some limitations such as false negative and positive results, using ionizing radiation and patient’s discomfort. Microwave imaging has been recently proposed as an additional medical imaging technique ... En savoir plus

The paper describes the use of COMSOL Multiphysics to simulate an ECT (Eddy Current Testing) sensor, designed to inspect the elements of the reinforcement of concrete structures. The paper describes the steps for the COMSOL simulation, and analyze the results for three configurations ... En savoir plus

For active Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), one popular sensor type is the piezoelectric wafer active sensor (PWAS) due to its multi-purpose application as actuator and sensor and its low cost. It is used to generate a wave field, which interacts with the structure and is recorded by ... En savoir plus

引言： 对于微流控分选芯片而言，分支出口的位置、宽度等几何参数会直接影响到粒子分选精度与回收效率。但是，遗憾的是，对于流道各分支出口位置的高效设计方法却鲜有报道。当前的设计方法主要是对每一种目标粒子直接进行轨迹仿真[1~7]。但这种方法的运算成本巨大，如果粒子分散体系涉及到的粒径种类繁多且流道结构复杂，那么对每种粒径都进行仿真分析将会使得计算量与计算精度之间的矛盾愈加尖锐；而且，每引入一种没有被仿真研究过的粒径，都要对其重新进行仿真运算，运算成本巨大[8~10]。 据此，本文提出了一种结合有限元分析仿真与系统辨识方法的粒子出射位置预测方法 ... En savoir plus

Optical tweezers work on the idea of non-contact Optical Pressure felt by transparent particles, when shined by coherent light source such as lasers. On the other hand when light falls on the metal it excites the electron inside it and make them free. When these free electron cloud ... En savoir plus

Microwave impedance microscopy (MIM) is a novel mode of atomic force microscopy that can measure topography and local electrical impedance simultaneously and with nanometer spatial resolution [1]. This technique is typically used qualitatively, identifying defects in nanodevices or ... En savoir plus

Strain gauges have been extensively used for detecting strain in various applications. Double-ended tuning fork (DETF) strain gages present better performance characteristics than standard foil gauges, including higher sensitivity, smaller size and higher resolution. This study focuses ... En savoir plus

The possibility to detect and probe molecules in microfluidic devices gives rise to interesting applications. There are different approaches how to detect and probe particles, but a common step, for most methods, is to place the particles on a sensor. This can be done by applying ... En savoir plus
