We propose in this paper a biosensor scheme based on coupled plasmon-waveguide resonance (CPWR) excited fluorescence spectroscopy. A symmetrical structure that offers higher surface electric field strengths, longer surface propagation lengths and depths is developed to support guided waveguide modes for the efficient excitation of fluorescence. The optimal parameters for the sensor films are th...

The key to successfully applying the SiC MOSFET requires an understanding of the device’s unique operating characteristics. In this section, the characteristics of Cree’s 1200V 80mΩ SiC MOSFET (CMF20120D) will be discussed. Comparisons will be made with other similar silicon devices along with application implications. The intention of this comparison is to illustrate the differences in operati...

Cytochrome c is an electron-transport protein that has been studied and described in a great detail, as well as has been used in a variety of studies for other purposes. It is a soluble mitochondrial matrix spherical (diameter = 34 A) protein that is associated to the inner mitochondrial membrane and has the function of transferring electrons between respiratory chains III and IV. Cytochrome c ...

Occupational noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) has been a major concern since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Several hundred years later, noise and hearing loss are still are major concerns for the construction work force, management and safety professionals. Depending on the trade, one study of more than 1300 noise measurements indicated approximately 70% of the construction worke...

According to the Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR) Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency (KOSHA), falls from ladders are a leading cause of fatalities. The current safety inspection process enforce height-related rules is manual time-consuming. It requires physical presence manager, whom it sometimes impossible monitor an entire area in which being used. Deep learning-bas...
