This paper presents a simple and effective method to fabricate a polydimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) microlens array with a high fill factor, which utilizes the UV proximity printing and photoresist replication methods. The concave microlens array mold was made using a printing gap in lithography process, which utilizes optical diffraction of UV light to deflect away from the aperture edges and produc...

Abstract— This work investigates the improvement of the active reflection coefficient of waveguide-fed phased-array antenna using liquid crystal layers. The anisotropy properties of liquid crystal layer can be employed to eliminate blind scan angle and improve the wide angle impedance matching of the waveguide-fed phased array antennas. The authors have expressed the modal analysis of the waveg...

‎In this paper we consider the special classes of Sonnenschein matrices‎, ‎namely the Karamata matrices $K[alpha,beta]=left(a_{n,k}right)$ with the entries‎ ‎[{a_{n,k}} = sumlimits_{v = 0}^k {left( begin{array}{l}‎ ‎n\‎ ‎v‎ ‎end{array} right){{left( {1‎ - ‎alpha‎ - ‎beta } right)}^v}{alpha ^{n‎ - ‎v}}left( begin{array}{l}‎ ‎n‎ + ‎k‎ - ‎v‎ - ‎1\‎ ‎,,,,,,,,,,k...

This paper reports an electromagnetic vibration energy harvester using an improved Halbach array. A Halbach array is a specific arrangement of permanent magnets that concentrates the magnetic field on one side of the array while cancelling the field on the other side to almost zero. Previous research showed that although the Halbach array has higher magnetic field density compared to normal mag...

In this paper two linear arrays including a linear 1×4 and a planar 2×2 of microstrip patch and half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity hybrid antenna are introduced and investigated. These are simply implemented using low cost single layer printed circuit board (PCB) process. The array element consists of a rectangular microstrip patch with appropriate dimensions in the vicinity ...

-This paper discusses the deployment of Genetic algorithm optimization method for synthesis of antenna array radiation pattern in adaptive beam forming. The synthesis problem discussed is to find the weights of the antenna array elements that are optimum to provide the radiation pattern with maximum reduction in the side lobe level. This technique proved its effectiveness in improving the perfo...

chromosomal defects are relatively frequent in infertile men however, translocations between the y chromosome and autosomes are rare and less than 40 cases of y-autosome translocation have been reported. in particular, only three individuals has been described with a y;21 translocation, up to now. we report on an additional case of an infertile man in whom a y;21 translocation was associated wi...
