A good approximation of rough surfaces and their random behaviour is very important in some engineering problems. Fractal modelling provide an alternative to generate rough surfaces based in statistically self-similar non-Euclidean geometries, as seen in [Fig. 1]. Through a frequency ... Read More

Recent rapid progress in MEMS with wireless communication system has enabled low power micro sensor network for human body, Body Area Sensor Network (BASN). The information gathering from BASNs will provide a significant opportunities for various medical applications. One of the key ... Read More

Passive, one-way valves, also known as check valves, while common at the macro scale, are an essential microfluidic feature that facilitate flow rectification. These structures are also commonly used in reciprocating micropump configurations to control flow. Their operation can be ... Read More

In the field of electronic, electro-acoustic apparatus is one of the important applications. There is an acoustic class in the department of electronic engineering, Shibaura Institute of Technology. The class is “Acoustic systems” which opens in 2nd semester of 3rd year. To foster the ... Read More

Combustion instability has been a serious issue through the developmental history of gas turbine augmentors. When heat release rate oscillations occur in phase with resonant chamber acoustic modes, a feedback cycle is formed in which the strength of local heat release rate and chamber ... Read More

MEMS resonators have been recently adopted in a wide variety of timing, sensing, and actuation applications. The ability to control the dynamics of resonance, namely the resonance frequency and quality factor of these resonators is crucial in achieving high precision performance within ... Read More

Introduction The monitoring of bacteria concentration in drain fluid is the most common way to estimate the success of a colon surgery. However, the lack of efficient method to follow the development of E.coli in drain fluid after surgery is often fatal to the patient. The proposed ... Read More

Over the last decade, ambient vibration energy harvesting by piezoelectric materials has been an area of extensive research. This technology enables to convert wasted mechanical energy available in our environment into useful electrical energy to power up autonomous wireless sensors ... Read More

Micro-machined ultrasound transducers have a wide range of applications. As a sensor or actuator they can be used for measuring fluid speed and direction, to mix and excite particles (sonication), for taking images (ultrasonography), for non-destructive testing and many other purposes in ...
