The present paper describes novel microfabrication techniques which utilize an ion migration at the microcontact between ion conductor and target solid. Two different methods have been recently proposed by our group. One is a solid state electrochemical route for pinpoint doping using an ion conductor. In this approach, an electric field is applied to the solid­solid interface between the catio...

The concepts of transistor recording of electroactive cells are considered, when the response is determined by a current-induced voltage in the electrolyte due to cellular activity. The relationship to traditional transistor recording, with an interface-induced response due to interactions with the open gate oxide, is addressed. For the geometry of a cell-substrate junction, the theory of a pla...

Among the most exciting recent advances in the field of superconducting quantum circuits is the ability to coherently couple microwave photons in low-loss cavities to quantum electronic conductors. These hybrid quantum systems hold great promise for quantum information-processing applications; even more strikingly, they enable exploration of new physical regimes. Here we study theoretically the...

In this paper, a method to develop embroidered textile strain resistive sensors is presented. The based on two overlapped zigzag conductive yarn patterns in an elastic textile. To demonstrate the functionality of proposed configuration, sensor with conductor composed 99% pure silver-plated nylon 140/17 dtex has been experimentally characterised for elongation range from 0% 65%. order show appli...

Non-uniformities in the paths of the currents in a Cable-In-Conduit Conductor (CICC), resistive or inductive, will result into an unbalanced current distribution. The current nonuniformity may affect the performance of a magnet system and it is therefore essential to evaluate this phenomenon. The current distribution in the Central Solenoid Insert Coil (CSIC) from the Central Solenoid Model Coi...

Power District (NPPD) implemented an inspection program to determine the extent of condition for this type of widely used conductor. Other companies which have had related issues with similar types of corrosion have simply replaced their existing insignificant miles of conductor; however NPPD transmission system includes over 2000 miles of this particular conductor. Throughout 2012, many other ...

In this paper we present integral conductor inequalities connecting the Lorentz p, q-(quasi)norm of a gradient of a function to a one-dimensional integral of the p, q-capacitance of the conductor between two level surfaces of the same function. These inequalities generalize an inequality obtained by the second author in the case of the Sobolev norm. Such conductor inequalities lead to necessary...
