Radio frequency (RF) micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) switch works in on/off modes controlled by electrostatic forces. In off mode, rough surfaces of electrodes come into a contact. Membrane contact surfaces have complex surface roughness patterns and the mechanical contact problem ... En savoir plus
Alternating 200 kHz electric fields ~2 V/cm (Tumor Treating Fields, ‘TTFields’) kill cancer cells by disrupting the delicate orchestration of chromosome spindle formation, but the exact mechanism of action is unknown. The likely suspects are polarized intracellular molecules such as ... En savoir plus
Abstract High-voltage relays currently used for deep sea applications must be designed for extreme underwater conditions. So, pertinent materials used, and the design procedures adopted are novel, innovative but expensive. Alternatively, the existing high-power electric switches, relays ... En savoir plus
This paper presents the design and simulation results of a MEMS-actuated deformable mirror (DM) consisting of a 20 × 20 Lorentz-force actuator array bonded to a flexible mirror. The DM is the critical component of an Adaptive Optics (AO) system targeted for ground-based telescope ... En savoir plus
The Helicon-Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) is a two-stage electric propulsion system comprising of a helicon plasma source and an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) device for plasma production and acceleration, respectively. Several diagnostics such as a ... En savoir plus
Electrothermal actuators are capable of providing larger displacements compared to electrostatic actuators. Four designs for ETC actuators with the same material properties and same dimensions are studied. En savoir plus
The study of low energy electrons (0-300 eV) and especially secondary electrons (typically < 50 eV) are of technical importance in many areas such as Scanning Electron Microscopes [1], spacecraft charging [2], the electron cloud effect in particle accelerators [3] and in radiological ...

Patterned two-dimensional (2D) materials have recently become promising candidates for separation processes in both gaseous and aqueous phases, due to mechanical strength and atomic thickness. Conventional separation technique using 2D materials are limited by the surface charge of 2D ... En savoir plus
Medical accelerators, in particular Cyclotrons, are used to accelerate charged particles to tens of Mega electron Volts (MeV) of energies. These high energy particles then used to produce isotopes for medical application such the system located at king Faisal Specialist Hospital and ... En savoir plus
Corrosion is an ongoing issue in metallurgic field. Stainless-steel products are likely to corrode in certain environmental conditions, especially if they are exposed to marine environment where localized corrosion can occur. The aim of this work is to study the behavior of 316L grade ... En savoir plus
