Using a single interferometric lithography patterning step along with self-aligned pattern-definition techniques, uniform, large-area metallic coaxial arrays with ~ 100-nm toroidal gaps are fabricated. Enhanced (5x) mid-infrared (4 mum) transmission through these sub-wavelength coaxial arrays is observed as compared with that through the same fractional opening area hole arrays as a result of t...

Coaxial waveguides exhibit no dispersion and therefore can serve as an ideal channel for transmission of broadband THz pulses. Implementation of THz coaxial waveguide systems however requires THz beams with radially-polarized distribution. We demonstrate the launching of THz pulses into coaxial waveguides using the effect of THz pulse generation at semiconductor surfaces. We find that the radia...

In order to carry out the simulation of the electrical noise, a pulse generator with fast rise time is needed. For this reason, the pulse generator using a coaxial cable is usually used. The pulse generator consists of a DC power supply, a charging resistor, a coaxial cable, a relay, and a terminator. Even the same voltage as charge voltage was outputted when the termination of the impedance wa...

This paper presents an approach to the deployment of a live-video service based on streaming technology over an HFC network. This approach covers most of the issues that may arise while putting one of these services into operation, taking into account new aspects such as those oriented to the improvement and prior analysis of the service’s behaviour. An accurate and continuous service analysis ...

We investigate experimentally the transmission properties of single sub-wavelength coaxial apertures in thin metal films (t = 110 nm). Enhanced transmission through a single sub-wavelength coaxial aperture illuminated with a strongly focused radially polarized light beam is reported. In our experiments we achieved up to four times enhanced transmission through a single coaxial aperture as compa...

Biodegradable poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles are an effective way to achieve sustained drug release. In this study, we investigated a sustained release model of PLGA microparticles with incorporated protein via either emulsion or coaxial electrospray techniques. PLGA (75:25) was used as the carrier, and bovine serum albumin as a model protein. Coaxial electrospray resulted...

in industry, flow instabilities are important in journal bearings at high rotational speeds. for inviscid flows between two rotating coaxial cylinders, an instability criterion was introduced by taylor-couette. however, viscosity may play as stabilizer or destabilize in such flows. in this work, stability theories were reviewed for two coaxial rotating cylinders. then, flow instability patterns...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common malignant tumors to affect the liver. Microwave ablation is efficiently used for treatment of liver cancer. Although surgical resection remains the gold standard for treatment of liver cancer, but only 5-10% patients are the candidates for surgical resection due to numbers of limitations. Because most patients with HCC can not be treated with su...

A nano coaxial rotor was designed, fabricated and studied experimentally at an ultralow Reynolds number ranging from 5000 to 20,000. The Minimum Induced Loss theory was employed to optimize the geometry of nano coaxial rotor with the introduction of weights to take into account the interference of upper rotor and lower rotor. The chord and twist distributions of both rotors were achieved as a r...
