Chemical Reaction under Highly Precise Microwave Irradiation
Chemical reactions conducted under microwave irradiation have high reaction rates and high selectivity, but these reaction rates are not always reproducible. To achieve reproducibility, a solid-state microwave source with an ultra precise oscillator, high power amplifier module (HPA), ... Read More
Calculation in Coupling Coefficient of 1.3μm Quantum Dots Distributed Feed Back Laser with Half Etched Mesa Structure
Quantum Dots (QDs) laser is expected to have a low threshold current density and high thermal stability. We propose the QDs laser with the half-etched mesa distributed feedback (HEM DFB) structure. We accurately calculated the coupling coefficient in a HEM waveguide using the finite ... Read More
Design of Guide for Avoiding Buckling Fracture of Micro Needle Inspired by Labium of Mosquito
Making a diameter of needle small is effective for reducing the pain of patients. However, thinning a needle leads to easy buckling in the puncturing process, because the aspect ratio of needle becomes high. We propose a method for avoiding buckling of thin needle by setting a guide ... Read More
Design of Capacitive Vibratory Energy Harvester Calculating Change in Capacitance in Fringe Electric Field and Structural Analysis of Spring
The sensing without batteries can be realized by harvesting the unused energy in environment. The capacitive harvester can generate, since the capacitance between electrodes is changed by vibration. There are two methods of producing change in capacitance: 1) change in overlapped area ... Read More
Analysis of Optical Manipulation of a Metallic Nanowire using COMSOL Multiphysics®
We have developed optically driven micropumps by manipulating microstructures using optical tweezers. In this study, we proposed and developed a novel manipulation method of a single metallic nanowire. In this method, dynamic optical vortex is used not only for manipulating a metallic ... Read More
Finite-Element Analysis of High Frequency Electromagnetic Fields
Using COMSOL Multiphysics, numerical solution of electromagnetic field of microstrip open stub is obtained in frequency domain of 0.1GHz - 60GHz by using the COMSOL RF Module and the computed S11 is compared to experiment. It was found that the S11 predicted here is in good agreement ... Read More
Demonstration of All-Optical NAND Logic Gate Using Photonic Integrated Circuits
A logic gate performs a certain Boolean logic operation on one or more logical inputs and produces a single logical output. The logic values are either “true” or “false.” Logic gates are bistable devices, that is, they may yield one of these two possible stable outputs. The NAND logic is ... Read More
Elucidating the Mechanism Governing the Cell Rotation Behavior Under DEP
In our experiments with manipulating cells with DEP, we noted that some cells are constantly spining. By hypothesing that the cell spining is caused by the non-circular shape of the cell body and the off-centered location of its nucleus and that the rotation direction depends on the ... Read More
Improving Detection Sensitivity for Nanoscale Targets Through Combined Photonic and Plasmonic Techniques
Photonic technique such as the whispering gallery mode (WGM) is often used for detection of small particles like bacteria and viruses. It offers good detection sensitivity and is advantageous over other detection techniques because the detection can be label free. However, the detection ... Read More
Effect of Electrical Field Distortion on Particle-Particle Interaction Under DEP
In using DEP for particle manipulation, researchers often use a formula to calculate the DEP forces in which the forces are proportional to the particle radius to the third power. This formula assumes that the electrical field, E, will not be affected by the presence of a particle, no ... Read More
