Spectroscopic Sorting of Aerosols by a Compact Sensor Employing UV LEDs

Maskless photolithography using UV LEDs.

A UV light emitting diode (LED) with a maximum output of 372 nm was collimated using a pinhole and a small plastic tube and focused using a microscope objective onto a substrate for direct lithographic patterning of the photoresist. Movement of the substrate with a motorised linear stage (syringe pump) allowed lines in SU-8 to be pattered with a width down to 35 microm at a linear velocity of 8...

New Legionella Control Options by UV and Violet LEDs for Hospitals and Care Facilities

Legionella infections caused by contaminated water are a widespread problem worldwide. Discharge lamps like mercury vapor lamps are widely known for the disinfection properties of their radiation, but they suffer technical disadvantages, like high voltages and toxic content, and are, therefore, not suitable for some infection control applications. New high-intensity ultraviolet (UV) an...

Performance of a fire detector based on a compact laser spectroscopic carbon monoxide sensor.

In this paper we show the suitability of a miniaturized tunable diode laser spectroscopy (TDLS)-based carbon-monoxide (CO) sensor for fire detection applications. The sensor utilizes a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and inherent calibration scheme with reference gas filled in the photodetector housing. The fire-detection experiments are carried out under realistic conditions as ...

Structure Exploring, IR and UV Spectroscopic Properties of Pomalidomide as a Second-generation of Immunomodulatory Agent

In this article, the optimized geometry, IR and UV spectra, frontier orbital analysis, natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses, and thermodynamic parameters of pomalidomide were investigated. The calculated structural parameters and stretching frequencies values are compared with experimentalvalues of the investigated compound. Also, the relations of the thermodynamic functions vs.temperatures were...
