Technical Papers and Presentations

Traditionally, municipal sewer and water agencies have relied on acoustic data loggers and closed-circuit television cameras to inspect pipes for leaks. In addition, the same legacy techniques have been used to certify new and rehabilitated pipes as watertight. Unfortunately, visually ... Read More

Spacecrafts have a prime necessity that their temperature be controlled. This paper presents the simulation of a mechanically actuated field effect transistor that is used in a thermal system. It comprises of a composite beam, a piezoelectric substrate and a field effect transistor. The ... Read More

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices which produce electricity from renewable and clean resources, such as hydrogen. Their large-scale exploitation is expected to impact positively our approach to use electric energy in vehicles, buildings and other portable/stationary applications. ... Read More

It is possible to control the motion of magnetic beads using a combination of hydrodynamic and electromagnetic forces. In this work, we investigate the possibility to manipulate the motion of beads with different magnetic moments in a special microfluidic structure so as to separate ... Read More

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors proved themselves as a promising device for many kinds of applications such as optical biosensing, binding constant determinationor nanofilm thickness measurements. Here we simulate using COMSOL Multiphysics® the light-polaritons coupling for the ... Read More

Partial differential equations (PDEs) govern many phenomena in nature. Solving optimization problems which comprises the solution of large number of PDEs, is expensive concerning time and memory. Therefore, to reduce the solution cost, original problem is transformed to a corresponding ... Read More

Signal processing algorithms for chemical sensing/monitoring have been subject of considerable research interest in the recent years mainly due to their diverse applicability. When the concentration of chemical agent is small, the dispersion of particles is governed by stochastic ... Read More

A portable device that can identify protein and peptides real time in complex biological systems such as human bodily fluids reliably and accurately is in high demand to properly diagnose and treat medical conditions. Lynntech has developed an innovative Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based ... Read More

In the last decade, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has become a very sensitive technique for real-time detection in many application areas. Considering the fiber optic concept and the important needs for analyzing biomolecular reactions through automated and miniaturized components, ... Read More

Nanoantennas have been successfully employed in a wide set of applications. We show the possibility to expand usual nanoantenna functionalities in the THz domain with a gold dipole nanoantenna. We considered an array of aligned planar gold nanoantennas over a silicon substrate. The high ... Read More
