The need for fast, easy and cost-effective analysis of blood samples as well as our understanding of the functionality of cells and neurons are two rather pressing issues in the modern world. Both of these can be addressed by functional lab-on-a-chip systems, which have been designed and ... Read More
Micro-and nanoscale mechanical resonators have recently emerged as ubiquitous devices for use in advanced technological applications, for example in mobile communications and inertial sensors, and as novel tools for fundamental scientific endeavors. We report a significant advancement ... Read More
This article describes the development of a bulk mode resonator which can be employed for detection of bio/chemical species in liquids. The goal is to understand the mechanical and electrical properties of a bulk mode resonator device which exhibit high frequency resonance modes and Q ... Read More
Operation in strong magnetic fields, vacuum or high precision positioning has often surpassed the limits of traditional actuators. Piezoelectric motors provide a suitable alternative in these applications where non-ferromagnetic based construction or low inertia may be required. We ... Read More
Some types of mechanical devices, such as molds, but not only, include a large number of micro-mechanisms, valves, channels, vents, or other devices subject to deterioration or malfunctioning, frequently caused by unwelcome phenomena such as incrustations, fillings, or reciprocal bonding ...

Large deflection actuators are becoming increasingly important for microsystems. Since actuation forces are usually small, large deflection actuators usually require flexures with low stiffness. Rectangular serpentine flexures are often used for such actuators due to their low stiffness ... Read More
The ongoing trend towards miniaturization, higher integration as well as cost efficiency will make it necessary to investigate a new assembly method for micro components. In this paper, a novel method of fluidic-based micro assembly is presented. A self-assembly effect which is caused by ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® with LiveLink™ for Matlab® is used for the numerical analysis of dielectric barrier discharges (DBD), which are widely used in various fields of plasma technology, such as surface processing, plasma medicine, and agriculture. The fluid model comprises balance ... Read More
Rich literature exists on calculation of copper loss in windings of high-frequency transformers and inductors. Most of the work was carried out in a Dowell approximation ignoring the windings aspect ratio and core presence. Calculation of losses at non-sinusoidal currents is made usually ... Read More
An optimal control problem (OCP) is studied to a PDE of elliptic type as well as state constraints. The resulting optimality system contains two PDEs, one algebraic equation and the so called complementary slackness conditions, i.e. dual products between function spaces. At this point, ... Read More
