In handsfree tele or video conferencing acoustic echoes arise due to the coupling between the loudspeaker and microphone. Usually an acoustic echo canceler (AEC) is used for eliminating the undesired echoes. The weaknesses of AEC are that it is relatively ...
The geometry of crescent-shaped noble-metal nanoparticles is systematically varied in terms of shape and size. The resulting changes in the plasmonic resonances of these structures are investigated by extinction spectroscopy revealing a rich polarization-d ...

The “Modulated Friction Inertial Drive (MFID) principle” is presented as a locomotion solution for mmsize micro robots dealing with both size constraints and limitations in terms of power consumption. Based on one of the configurations of this locomotion p ...
Micro-electromechanical (MEM) laterally vibrating square resonators and beams, fabricated via a prototyping technology combining FIB-micromachined gaps with conventional UV lithography in 1.35 mu m thick SOI are presented. Resonators with both capacitive a ...

The detection of higher modes of oscillation in atomic force microscopy can provide additional information on sample properties. However, the limited bandwidth of the photodiode in the beam deflection detection technique often limits the detectable frequen ...
High-Q silicon membranes have been fabricated as resonator elements for excitation by magnetic direct generation of acoustic waves. Operating in the thickness shear mode, these inexpensive sensor elements are remotely excited by a planar spiral coil, drive ...
Acoustic nodes, each containing an array of microphones, can track targets in x-y space from their received acoustic signals, if the node positions and orientations are known exactly. However, it is not always possible to deploy the nodes precisely, so a c ...

We present a numerical study of the tunability properties of a plasmonic subwavelength particle deposited on a metallic slab. The particle is composed of a metallic part, supporting a localized plasmon mode, separated from the slab by a dielectric spacer. ...
Gold crescent-shaped nanoparticles, exhibiting multiple resonances in the visible and near-infrared spectral region, were characterized in terms of their optical response to thin dielectric coatings. A strong red shift of the resonances is observed upon th ...
DC bias dependent acoustic resonance phenomena have been observed in micromachined tunable thin film capacitors based on Ba0.3Sr0.7TiO3 (BST) thin films. The antiresonance frequency is only weakly dc bias dependent, whereas the resonance frequency exhibits ...
