In this work novel concepts for the realization of miniature integrated optical sensor systems are presented. An important aspect for all realized approaches was their suitability for the use of disposable sensor chips. This is essential, especially for ap ...
We report on the fabrication of atomic force microscopy (AFM) probes using a novel technology that performs every machining step by means of one single deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) equipment. Specific etching conditions are optimized in order to define ...
The use of numerical procedure at a level never reach so far in optical imaging enables DHM to overcome two cumbersome alignment procedures of interferometric microscopes: (1) fine focus of the sample, and (2) sample tilt adjustment. In addition the techno ...
This paper presents a simple and low-cost prototyping technology for the realization of integrated micropumps in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). The three-dimensional (3D) micropumps consist of stacks of structured PMMA layers, which are either realised wit ...
In this paper, we develop two methods for improving the performance of the standard Distributed Breakout Algorithm \cite{yokoo:dba} using the notion of interchangeability. We study the performance of this algorithm on the problem of distributed sensor netw ...
A simple production line composed of two identical failure prone machines separated by a buffer is studied. In one case, a continuous flux of parts is produced by both machines while in the other case, it is assumed that each machine produces parts one by ...
