A Novel Approach to Low-power Hot-surface Devices with Decoupled Electrical and Thermal Resistances

This work employs the idea of maintaining a hot surface by means of dissipating power at a nano-scale conductive link. The link is created between two polysilicon electrodes separated by a dielectric (a capacitor-like structure). From modelling, a link of 10 nm in diameter should be possible to maintain the surface temperature ranging between 750 and 1150 K within the surface diameter of 2 μm b...

Automated multi-well device to measure transepithelial electrical resistances under physiological conditions.

Measurement of transendothelial or transepithelial electrical resistances (TERs) is a straightforward in situ experimental approach to monitor the expression or modulation of barrier-forming cell-to-cell contacts (tight junctions) in cultured cells grown on porous filters. Although widely accepted, there is currently no device available to automatically measure the time course of TERs under ord...

Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography: Design and Applications

This article reports recent advances and progress in the field of electrical capacitance volume tomography (ECVT). ECVT, developed from the two-dimensional electrical capacitance tomography (ECT), is a promising non-intrusive imaging technology that can provide real-time three-dimensional images of the sensing domain. Images are reconstructed from capacitance measurements acquired by electrodes...

Why Firms Seek ISO 20000 Certification - a Study of ISO 20000 Adoption

Since the end of 2005, the ISO 20000 international standard for IT service management has been in existence, offering a normative management and organization concept for aligning the performance of IT services, and enabling companies to certify their compliance according this standard by third parties. There is a great interest in the standard, and the forecasts for the adoption and disseminati...
