We propose a novel system of a broadband source generation using a common soliton pulse (i.e. with center wavelength at 1.55 m) propagating within a nonlinear microring and nanoring resonators system. A system consists of a micro ring resonator system incorporating an add/drop filter, whereas the large bandwidth signals can be generated, stored and regenerated within the system. By using the a...

The present study aims at investigation of the performance of nanofibrous filter, containing magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles, for bioaerosols removal from the air stream. It synthesizes two types of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and PAN/MgO nanofibers via electrospinning technique, and investigates the antibacterial properties of the produced nanofibers through disk diffusion. The air containing ...

Utilizing the small bending radius of high index contrast optical waveguides, ultra-compact optical devices such as waveguide branch, Mach-Zehnder interferometer, arrayed waveguide grating filter, microring resonator filter, and so on can be realized. We have proposed and demonstrated a vertically coupled microring resonator as an Add/Drop filter, and recently realized a hitless wavelength chan...

We use a drop-port geometry to characterize frequency combs generated from silicon nitride on-chip microresonators in the normal group velocity regime. In sharp contrast with the traditional transmission geometry, we observe smooth output spectra with comparable powers in the pump and adjacent comb lines. The power transfer into the comb may be explained to a large extent by the coupling parame...

This study proposes a new model for guiding people in urban settings using multiple robots that work cooperatively. More specifically, this investigation describes the circumstances in which people might stray from the formation when following different robots’ instructions. To this end, we introduce a “Prediction and Anticipation Model” that predicts the position of the group using a Particle ...

Higher side-to-side asymmetry among female athletes compared to their male counterparts during bilateral athletic tasks such as landing from a jump has been proposed as a potential source of non-contact knee injuries. However, the kinematic symmetry and potential sex differences during bilateral landings have not been examined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate lower extremity kinematic...

Over the past decades, industrial sector has been trying to improve use of resources and environmental impact they create. Significant work done in compressed air systems. However, there is still much room for improvement. The focus this study on a new approach energy efficient filtration. This involves installation different filter configurations that enable lower pressure drop, instead conven...

Bio-filter is designed to segregate body fluids into its constituent components like WBC, RBC, platelets from the whole blood using single drop sample of fluid. In this proposed work, separation of biomolecules WBC, RBC and Platelets is possible using passive method based cross flow filtration technique, which is more effective than conventional methods. Separation of biomolecules that are smal...
