We investigated the effects of millimeter wave treatment on the expression of the cell cycle regulating proteins cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and cyclin A in chondrocytes. Knee articular cartilage from SD rats was used to establish cultured primary chondrocytes. After identification using toluidine blue staining, passage 2 chondrocytes were randomly divided into different groups and treated...

High-gain and low-profile antennas are required for high-speed wireless communication systems and mechanically-scanning automotive radars in the millimeter-wave band. Waveguide antenna is one of the most attractive planar antennas for such millimeter-wave systems because of its low loss and high efficiency characteristics in high frequency band. Travelling-wave excitation is more effective for ...

The interference between two spectral lines of the frequency comb of a fiber femtosecond laser is used to generate millimeter-wave and terahertz tones. The two lines are selected by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification. All other modes are strongly rejected based on polarization discrimination, using the polarization-pulling effect that is associated with SBS. The inherent high s...

Millimeter waves can be used to detect concealed objects because they can penetrate clothing. Therefore, millimeter wave imaging draws increasing attention in security applications for the detection of objects under clothing. In such applications, it is critical to estimate the distances from objects concealed in open spaces. In this paper, we develop a segmentation-based stereo-matching method...

Recently, millimeter-wave radio has attracted a great deal of interest from academia, industry, and global standardization bodies due to a number of attractive features of millimeter-wave to provide multi-gigabit transmission rate. This enables many new applications such as high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) cable replacement for uncompressed video or audio streaming and multi-gigabit ...

In this paper anisotropic conductive pastes (ACP) are proposed for different level interconnections of millimeter-wave multichip modules (MCM) and packages. A novel ACP-based approach for cavity-up millimeter-wave packages simultaneously featuring small size, electrical and mechanical interconnection as well as heat transfer capabilities is presented.

Based on the active coupled line concept, a novel approach for efficient noise performance modeling of millimeter-wave field-effect transistors is proposed. This distributed model considers the effect of wave propagation along the device electrodes, which can significantly affect the noise performance especially in the millimeter-wave range. By solving the multi-conductor transmission line equa...
