Second Order Sliding Mode Observer-Based Control for Uncertain Nonlinear MEMS Optical Switch

This paper studies theuncertain nonlinear dynamics of a MEMS optical switch addressing electrical, mechanical and optical subsystems. Recently, MEMS optical switch has had significant merits in reliability, control voltage requirements and power consumption. However, an inherent weakness in designing control for such systems is unavailability of switch position information at all times due to t...

Consumers' sensory and nutritional perceptions of three types of milk.

OBJECTIVE To identify consumer perceptions of whole milk, reduced-fat milk and soy milk, and to investigate demographic influences on perceptions and types of milk consumption. DESIGN AND SETTING Questionnaires covering nutritional and sensory perceptions of three types of milk. SUBJECTS Three hundred and sixty-one randomly selected shoppers in Melbourne, Australia.

Separation of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin from fibrinogen using a MEMS size exclusion chromatography column

This article reports a MEMS (Micro-ElectroMechanical-Systems)-based column separator designed for potential integration with portable medical point-of-care testing (POCT) devices. The MEMS column uses size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to pre-separate raw samples by size, and is made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fabricated on a glass slide. The MEMS SEC column separates 300 ng/mL of beta-hum...
