Dual cure compositions, related hybrid nanocomposite materials and dual cure process for producing same
Yves Leterrier, Valérie Geiser
The present invention concerns a dual cure composition comprising a radiation curable polymer precursor, solid particles, an organometallic precursor and a coupling agent, a hybrid organic/inorganic nanocomposite material produced using said dual cure comp ...
2012Effects of Radiation on MEMS
The sensitivity of MEMS devices to radiation is reviewed, with an emphasis on radiation levels representative of space missions. While silicon and metals generally do not show mechanical degradation at the radiation levels encountered in most missions, MEM ...

Background: Alcohol is a major risk factor for burden of disease and injuries globally. This paper presents a systematic method to compute the 95% confidence intervals of alcohol-attributable fractions (AAFs) with exposure and risk relations stemming from ...
2011Management of nanomaterials safety in research environment
Thierry Meyer, Arnaud Magrez, Amela Groso, Alke Fink
Despite numerous discussions, workshops, reviews and reports about responsible development of nanotechnology, information describing health and environmental risk of engineered nanoparticles or nanomaterials is severely lacking and thus insufficient for co ...
BioMed Central2010The electro-mechanical integration of the NA62 GigaTracker time tagging pixel detector
The NA62 GigaTracker is a low mass time tagging hybrid pixel detector operating in a beam with a particle rate of 750 MHz. It consists of three stations with a sensor size of 60 x 27mm(2) containing 18000 pixels, each 300 x 300 mu m(2). The active area is ...
2010A gamma, x-ray and high energy proton radiation-tolerant CIS for space applications
Edoardo Charbon, Herbert Shea, Lucio Carrara, Cristiano Niclass, Noémy Scheidegger
Photon counting is useful in space-based imagers wherever quantitative light- intensity evaluation is necessary. Various types of radiation, from cosmic rays to high-energy proton beams to gamma radiation, have an effect on the functionality and accuracy o ...
2009Radiation sensitivity of microelectromechanical system devices
The sensitivity of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) devices to radiation is reviewed, with an emphasis on radiation levels representative of space missions rather than of operation in nuclear reactors. As a purely structural material, silicon has shown ...
2009Radiation shielding of a beta-beam rapid cycling synchrotron
In a future beta-beam facility, radioactive ions (namely, 6He and 18Ne) are produced, accelerated, and then stored in a large decay ring, where they eventually produce neutrino beams through beta decay. Radiation protection is of great concern for this fac ...
American Nuclear Society2009Impact of substrate permittivity on the performance of UWB monopoles
Anja Skrivervik, Jean-François Zürcher, Gabriela Quintero Diaz De Leon
The effect of substrate permittivity on UWB antenna radiation is studied. Microstrip and CPW-fed UWB monopoles are designed using substrates with different dielectric constants. The radiation patterns are measured. The transfer function of a two identical ...
