In this work, a novel wireless easy-to-use measuring system is presented to acquire the Lead I ECG signal and the heart rate. The system presents a novel application of the dual ground configuration to dry electrodes, to reduce their level of power line interference. With this, a good quality Lead I EGC signal can be obtained simply by placing the right and left hands on the dual electrodes. He...

A manufacturing process has been developed for a microelectrode array that can he used for stimulation of the visual cortex to provide an effective sense of sighf to the blind. The first prototype merges sixteen 316L stainless sfeel electrodes on a 4x4 array. Several arrays can then he assembled together in a mosaic configuration to cover a large portion of the visual area. To reduce brain inju...

Utilization of polymers as insulator and bulk materials of microelectrode arrays (MEAs) makes the realization of flexible, biocompatible sensors possible, which are suitable for various neurophysiological experiments such as in vivo detection of local field potential changes on the surface of the neocortex or unit activities within the brain tissue. In this paper the microfabrication of a novel...

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in 0.1 M NaOH on platinum single crystal electrodes has been studied using hanging meniscus rotating disk electrode configuration. Basal planes and stepped surfaces with (111) and (100) terraces have been employed. The results indicate that the Pt(111) electrode has the highest electrocatalytic activity among all the studied surfaces. The addition of steps on...

Electrotherapy by low level direct current has been demonstrated to have antitumor effects in different murine tumor models and in clinics. Electrotherapy in "field" configuration, where electrodes are placed subcutaneously outside of the tumor in a way that tumor lies in between the electrodes, was performed in immunodeficient nude and immunocompetent mice. Electrotherapy was much more effecti...

This study focuses on using the capability of electrochemical sensor arrays to discretely activate and monitor the response of arrayed electrodes to a redox couple. The Au electrodes were arranged in a 2x5 configuration and activated separately at different potentials. The current levels associated with redox events for ferrocyanide in aqueous solution were measured. The redox couple was also u...

The RF band pass filters are important for wireless communication applications. They can be realized using Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (TFBAR).TFBAR is designed using Aluminium Nitride (AlN) and electrodes of piezoelectric material are made with Platinum (Pt).Various modelling techniques has been used for realizing three layered TFBAR structure. Modified Butter worth‐v...

The ability to accurately measure separate in situ anode and cathode overpotentials and impedance responses is still a source of debate when investigating fuel cells of planar configuration containing < 100 μm thickness solid electrolytes and when using the common three electrode arrangement. The results obtained in this study indicate that the overpotentials and impedances of the anode and cat...

We study molecular transistors where graphene nanoribbons act as three metallic electrodes connected to a ring-shaped 18-annulene molecule. Using the nonequilibrium Green function formalism combined with density functional theory, recently extended to multiterminal devices, we show that these nanostructures exhibit exponentially small transmission when the source and drain electrodes are attach...

The study of electrochemical systems using single-crystal electrodes under conditions that allow the occurrence an oscillatory response can be a valuable tool to obtain proper correlation between structure, composition, and electrocatalytic activity. Measurements with are usually performed in hanging meniscus configuration, so, it is essential understand impact different experimental parameters...
