A new filter-less method of detecting the spectrum based on wavelength absorption in silicon is proposed. Wavelength dependent absorption coefficient produces a unique excess carrier distribution. Thus the wavelength spectral information can be obtained by measuring the photon generated ... Read More

For automotive applications, simulation methods are used to get the best audio acoustic performance. Because a loudspeaker is a non linear device, the sound pressure in the vehicle includes harmonics which are mainly created by the force factor, suspension stiffness and voice coil ... Read More

This work develops a methodology based on the application of finite element method in the frequency domain: the purpose is to evaluate electromagnetic parameters of a pot-core inductor. The knowledge of the electromagnetic parameter is very important for several reasons, for example it ... Read More

Adaptive optics control using liquid filled membrane lens is based on the principle of deflection of polymeric membrane. Controlled deflection in membrane leads to controlled focal length. This enhances the focus tuning ability of the system at the same time make optical system compact ... Read More

Of utmost importance in appliance design and manufacture are the features for protection from fire and for personal safety. Appliance engineers are continually in pursuit of better,longer-life appliances that will provide both lower cost to the consumer and lower energy consumption. ... Read More

A Microbolometer is a specific type of uncooled infrared radiation detector used in thermal cameras, which converts the incoming energy into a proportionate electrical signal, which is then amplified, processed and displayed, typically on the thermal camera’s LCD viewer. The main ... Read More

It is known that photoacoustic spectroscopy shows the highest signal-to-noise ratio compared to other spectroscopy techniques. This is due to an orthogonal detection scheme: while exciting with light we monitor soundwaves. In gaseous phase, the use of an acoustic chamber called cell ... Read More

As a key component of MEMS, microprocessor with high computing performances is facing with severe thermal challenge due to the increasing power density, miniaturization as well as higher operating temperature requirements, and thermal management in corresponding fields has become one of ...

Thermoelectric (TE) devices generate electrical potential when they have temperature difference. Silicon is one of the materials applied to TE devices. However, most of the studies about TE silicon devices have focused on 1D structure, like Si nanowire, not on 2D. In this study, silicon ... Read More

The spindle is regarded as the heart of the CNC machine tool. Typically, the spindle is operated using the belt or gear drives to realize the relative motion between workpiece and cutting tool. However, they cannot be operated at high speeds due to power transmission losses, thus ... Read More
