We present the development of a microfluidically cryo-cooled planar coil for magnetic resonance (MR) microscopy. Cryogenically cooling radiofrequency (RF) coils for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the experiment. Conventional cryostats typically use a vacuum gap to keep samples to be imaged, especially biological samples, at or near room temperatu...

We present a technique by which it is possible to produce a planar sensor for ion channel electrophysiology from glass substrates. Apertures with diameters in the low micrometer to submicrometer range are achieved by irradiation of a glass chip with a single heavy ion and subsequent wet track etching. The function of the device is demonstrated by recordings of single channel currents mediated b...

The effects of different UWB antennas on body area propagation channel is analyzed. Different orientations of directional antennas and different spacings 13 between planar antennas and the body are investigated in an on-body scenario. Time domain channel parameters, e.g. mean delay and delay spread, are 15 extracted from measurement data. The distribution of the channel parameters allows classi...

Mitochondria were isolated from imbibed seeds of lentil (Lens culinaris) and Phaseolus vulgaris. We copurified two voltage-dependent anion channel from detergent solubilized mitochondria in a single purification step using hydroxyapatite. The two isoforms from P. vulgaris were separated by chromatofocusing chromatography in 4 M urea without any loss of channel activity. Channel activity of each...

In this paper, we show an implementation of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems including advanced Two-Dimensional (2D) interpolation-based channel estimation. The presented channel estimation technique improves the performance of OFDM system in terms of bit error rate (BER). The technique is based on planar equations to find accurate channel information of carriers in the...
