Rapid and Low Cost Manufacturing of Cuff Electrodes

Manufacturing Cost Simulations for Low Cost RFID systems

In a previous Auto-ID publication, “Towards a 5¢ Tag” [1], we speculated on manufacturing and system methods to approach the elusive goal of a 5¢ Radio Frequency Identification (or RFID) tag. We extend our cost analysis in this paper and simulate manufacturing and assembly processes to examine the feasibility of the 5¢ tag. We do so assuming that large volumes are being manufactured achieving w...

A Rapid and Low Cost Photogrammetric System

The objective of this paper is to introduce a low cost digital close range photogrammetric system developed in our department. With this system an amateur camera is employed for stereo coverage of industrial objects. The acquired images are scanned by a desktop scanner. The digitized images are then fed into a desktop computer for photogrammetric processing developed in Matlab6.5 environment. P...

Low cost integration of 3D-electrodes via replica molding

We demonstrate a new replica molding method for integrating 3D-composite electrodes into microfluidic devices made from polydimehtylsiloxane (PDMS) at low cost. Our process does not require work in a cleanroom, expensive materials, or expensive equipment once a micro mold has been fabricated using standard multilayer SU-8 photolithography. Different device geometries have been fabricated to dem...

ELECTRODES FOR AQUEOUS ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS Preparation of Improved, Low-Cost Metal Hydride Electrodes for Automotive Applications

Manufacturing and wetting low-cost microfluidic cell separation devices.

Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a microfluidic size-based particle separation or filter technology with applications in cell separation and enrichment. Currently, there are no cost-effective manufacturing methods for this promising microfluidic technology. In this fabrication paper, however, we develop a simple, yet robust protocol for thermoplastic DLD devices using regulatory-appr...
