We present a loss-coupled distributed feedback microlaser, monolithically grown on standard 300-mm Si wafer using nano-ridge engineering. The cavity is formed by integrating metallic grating top of the nano-ridge. This allows forming laser without etching III-V material, avoiding damaged interfaces and associated carrier loss. Simulations, supported experimental characterisation modal gain devi...

The focus of the study was to understand behavior airborne molecular contaminations (AMC) within 300 mm wafer containers called front-opening unified pods (FOUPs) in a high-volume fabrication facility for power semiconductors Infineon Technologies Dresden. A main goal implement new concepts and strategies prevent different from any yield losses driven by AMC. It could be shown, that there is st...

Ethanol, at physiologically relevant concentrations, significantly enhanced high-affinity neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (NnAChR) currents insensitive to alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BuTX-ICs) in cultured rat cortical neurons in a fast and reversible manner, as determined by standard whole-cell patch-clamp recording techniques. The enhancement was (mean +/- S.D.) 7.7 +/- 5% to 192 +/- 5...

PURPOSE This work provides a quantitative assessment of the positional tracking accuracy of the NDI Wave Speech Research System. METHOD Three experiments were completed: (a) static rigid-body tracking across different locations in the electromagnetic field volume, (b) dynamic rigid-body tracking across different locations within the electromagnetic field volume, and (c) human jaw-movement tra...
