Electrode configuration study for three-dimensional imaging of on-chip ECT

Two-dimensional acoustic particle focusing enables sheathless chip Coulter counter with planar electrode configuration.

The field of cytometry has grown in scope and importance ever since the early 20th century with leaps in technology introducing the Coulter counter and the flow cytometer. Cytometry methods have brought about a revolution for the medical and biotechnology industry by providing fast and accurate analysis of cell and particle suspensions. Recent developments in the field aim at improving current ...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Three-dimensional electrode arrays for retinal prostheses

Three-dimensional electrode geometries were proposed to increase the spatial resolution in retinal prostheses aiming at restoring vision in blind patients. We report here the results from a study in which finite-element modeling was used to design and optimize three-dimensional electrode geometries. Proposed implants exhibit an array of well-like shapes containing stimulating electrodes at thei...

Plasmonic Modulator for Three-Dimensional Chip-to-Chip Optical Interconnects

We present a surface-normal plasmonic modulator structure for three-dimensional (3-D) optical interconnects using subwavelength metallic photonic crystals. Optical transmission of the metallic slab was controlled by modulating the plasmonic bandgap of the metallic photonic crystal slab with a moderate index perturbation induced by thermo-optic effects. Our experimental results show that more th...
