In this paper, a compact micro strip fed dome shape slot antenna for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) applications is proposed. The dome shape is obtained by rounding (blending) the corners of a hexagonal slot. To excite the slot, a micro strip feed and a rectangular shape tuning stub is used. One of the corners of the rectangular patch is chamfered while the others are blended for better impedance matchi...

Micro-channels are made over the Ag+/Na+ ion-exchanged soda-lime glass surface by interaction of an intense Ar+ laser beam and the silver ions inside the glass matrix. The Ar+ laser beam reduces the Ag+ ions inside the matrix. The Ag+ atoms aggregate into silver nano-clusters around the interaction area, inside the glass matrix. Aggregation of the silver atoms and the thermal effects of the int...

the effect of geometry and material of the micro/nano particle on contact mechanic for manipulation was studied in this work based on atomic force microscopy. hertz contact model simulation for eph biological micro particle with spherical, cylindrical, and circular crowned roller shape was used to investigate the effect of geometry on contact simulation process in manipulation. then, to validat...

The present work proposes towards flow pattern prediction in a liquidliquid microchannel flow through a circular channel. Mass transfer in a microchannel mainly depends on the flow regime inside the channel. The liquid-liquid two phase flow regime in a microchannel depends on the flow velocity and the junction characteristics. Hence, the prediction of patterns has a superior role for the charac...

In the Manning equation the hydraulic radius can be defined as the cross-section dimension of the shape. In pipe flow the bed shear stress is assumed to be uniformly distributed along the wetted perimeter which cannot be true in open channel flow. Hence, three approximation of the true boundary shear-stress distribution are examined and more practical conveyance depth or resistance radius formu...

This study explores the single-phase cooling performance of a hybrid cooling module in which a series of micro-jets deposit coolant into each channel of a micro-channel heat sink. This creates symmetrical flow in each micro-channel, and the coolant is expelled through both ends of the micro-channel. Three micro-jet patterns are examined, decreasing-jet-size (relative to center of channel), equa...

This review presents a systematic perspective on the development of micro-optofluidic lenses. The progress on the development of micro-optofluidic lenses are illustrated by example from recent literature. The advantage of micro-optofluidic lenses over solid lens systems is their tunability without the use of large actuators such as servo motors. Depending on the relative orientation of light pa...

A scheme for detection of abnormality in molecular nano-networks is proposed. This is motivated by the fact that early diagnosis, classification and detection of diseases such as cancer play a crucial role in their successful treatment. The proposed nano-abnormality detection scheme (NADS) comprises of a two-tier network of sensor nano-machines (SNMs) in the first tier and a data gathering node...
