A new micromachined cell lysis device is developed. It is designed for miniature bio-analysis systems where cell lysing is needed to obtain intracellular materials for further analysis such as DNA identification. It consists of muti-electrode pairs to apply electric fields to cells. We adopt the means of using electric field lysing because it can greatly simplify purification steps for preparat...

In this article we demonstrate the performance of a direct conversion amorphous selenium (a-Se) X-ray detector using biphenyldisnhydride/1,4 phenylenediamine (BPDA/PPD) polyimide (PI) as a hole-blocking layer. The use of a PI layer with a-Se allows detector operation at high electric fields (≥10 V/μm) while maintaining low dark current, without deterioration of transient performance. The hole m...

The coming forth of kinect technology has enabled trainers controlling cruise and operation in 3D scene by their action, but this technology isn’t applied to electric power training field yet, because this field includes many electric devices and operation regulations. This paper has firstly described the electric operation regulations as one set of operation patterns by using finite state mach...

This poster presents results obtained from experiments of driving a brain-actuated simulated wheelchair that incorporates the shared-control intelligence method. The simulated wheelchair is controlled offline using band power features. The task is to drive the wheelchair along a corridor avoiding two obstacles. We have analyzed data from 4 naïve subjects during 25 sessions carried out in two da...

The ability to steer the flow of light toward desired propagation directions is critically important for the realization of key functionalities in optical communication and information processing. Although various schemes have been proposed for this purpose, the lack of capability to incorporate an external electric field to effectively tune the light propagation has severely limited the on-chi...

Analysis of electric fields generated inside the microchannels of a microfluidic device for electrical lysis of biological cells along with experimental verification are presented. Electrical lysis is the complete disintegration of cell membranes, due to a critical level of electric fields applied for a critical duration on a biological cell. Generating an electric field inside a microchannel o...

This paper presents a novel microfluidic DNA digestion system incorporating a high performance micro-mixer. Through the appropriate control of fixed and periodic switching DC electric fields, electrokinetic forces are established to mix the DNA and restriction enzyme samples and to drive them through the reaction column of the device. The experimental and numerical results show that a mixing pe...

Original scientific paper This paper focuses on the advancement of electric power quality tendencies of an induction motor as well as alleviating the consequence on account of the prolonged duration voltage discrepancy and also quite a short time period voltage variance of these kinds of that over voltage, under voltage continuous interruption, impermanent voltage fall together with voltage cli...

Magnetoelectric fi lms are proposed as key components for spintronic applications. The net magnetic moment created by an electric fi eld in a magnetoelectric thin fi lm infl uences the magnetization state of a neighbouring ferromagnetic layer through exchange coupling. Pure electrical control of magnetic confi gurations of giant magnetoresistance spin valves and tunnelling magnetoresistance ele...
