The authors describe electroactive microwells which exploit highly localized electrokinetic effects in order to actively concentrate, confine, store, and reject particles in well defined geometries. In this letter the authors present experimental results d ...
We present an experimental study of the DC breakdown voltage of MEMS interdigitated aluminum electrodes with gaps ranging from 10 to 500 μm. Unlike most research on MEMS electrodes that was done at atmospheric pressure, our work has focused on the effect o ...
Multiscale modeling, including molecular dynamics (MD) and discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) methods, appears as a significant tool for the description of plasticity and mechanical properties of materials. This research concerns the influence of irradiat ...
An overview of a comprehensive methodology for the design of microfabricated fuel cell systems for portable power generation is presented. The methodology is based on a decomposition into three levels of modeling detail: (i) system-level models for process ...
Surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) – electromagnetic waves propagating on the boundary between a metal and a dielectric and tightly bound to the interface – have been known for years. Recent progresses in microfabrication methods, near-field characterizatio ...
We present an experimental study of the DC breakdown voltage of MEMS interdigitated aluminum electrodes with gaps ranging from 10 to 500 µm. Unlike most research on MEMS electrodes, that was done at atmospheric pressure, our work has focused on the effect ...
The tunneling of surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) across an interruption in the metallic film supporting them is numerically investigated in details. Both non-symmetrical and symmetrical geometries are considered. A very high tunneling efficiency is calcu ...
Using the concept of insulator-based "electrodeless" dielectrophoresis, we present a novel geometry for shaping electric fields to achieve lateral deviation of particles in liquid flows. The field is generated by lateral planar metal electrodes and is guid ...
This paper presents a framework for coarse scene geometry estimation, based on sparse representations of omnidirectional images with geometrical basis functions. We introduce a correlation model that relates sparse components in different views with local ...
An X-ray optical transmission grating of a focus-detector arrangement of an X-ray apparatus is disclosed, for generating projective or tomographic phase contrast recordings of a subject. In at least one embodiment, the grating includes a multiplicity of gr ...
