The growth of the electronics industry demand better components for the electronic systems. Such components need to be improve to keep up with the evolution of the digital era. The loudspeaker design has not been changed for almost a century [1-5]. The acoustic transducer is the last ... Read More

Radio Frequency Resonator for Continuous Monitoring of Microfluidic Droplet Size Dispersity

D. Conchouso [1], G. Mckerricher [1], D. Castro [1], A. Arevalo [1], I. G. Foulds [2]
[1] King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Thuwal, Makkah, Saudi Arabia
[2] School of Engineering, University of British Columbia - Okanagan, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Parallelization of droplet microfluidics is a challenging task because of the complex fluid mechanics coupling between parallel devices. Failure of few droplet generators can influence the size distribution of the final product and the correct operation of the neighbor devices. One of ... Read More

Analysis of Stress-induced Pockels Effect in Silicon Waveguides

C. L. Manganelli [1], P. Pintus [1], C. Bonati [2], F. Di Pasquale [1]
[1] Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa, Italy
[2] INFN - Sezione di Pisa, Pisa, Italy

The recently discovered Pockels effect in strained silicon has made silicon a promising candidate material for optical modulators and switches. In this work, we propose a model that links the electro-optic effect to the applied strain (in fact to the strain gradient). This model may be ... Read More

Multiphysics Applications for Sustainable Engineering and Industrial Processes

S. Savarese [1], L. Kremer [1], C. Sanjeu [1]
[1] Armelio, Les Ulis, France

While addressing the pressing need for better, more sustainable engineering and production improvements, Armélio has identified that easy-to-use, customized, multiphysics applications would fulfill customer requirements. Hence, we now design and deliver COMSOL Multiphysics® apps bringing ... Read More

Modeling the Electrical Parameters of a Loudspeaker Motor System with the AC/DC Module

M. Cobianchi [1], M. Rousseau [1], S. Xavier [1],
[1] B&W Group Ltd., Worthing, West Sussex, United Kingdom

The main purpose of a drive unit is to transform the electrical signal at its terminals into acoustic waves via two transduction mechanisms: electro-mechanical and mechano-acoustical. In this paper only the electro-mechanical transformation is discussed in view of a future optimization ... Read More

Current Density Distribution for a Full Scale Industrial Alluminization Process

INTRODUCTION: Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are fabricated with an in-plane fabrication technology. Out-of-plane structures can be designed to be assembled to provide thermal and electrical isolation from the substrate [1 -3]. These isolations can potentially improve the ... Read More

A Systematic Method for Producing Simulated Scattered Field Data from Known Structures

R. S. Ritter [1], M. A. Fiddy [2],
[1] Olivet Nazarene University, Bourbonnais, IL, USA
[2] University of North Carolina - Charlotte, Charlotte, NC, USA

One of the greatest challenges in developing algorithms for imaging from scattered fields is the lack of suitable scattered field data from known targets. It has proved quite difficult to acquire this data from measurements in the laboratory due the fact it can be costly, time ... Read More
