The goal of a tokamak is to use high magnetic fields to contain plasma and produce nuclear fusion that can be used for power generation. MIT’s Plasma Science Fusion Center (PSFC) and collaborators are proposing a machine, the Advanced Divertor eXperiment (ADX) to test new technology for ... Read More
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
Droplet–based microfluidics has received special research attentions in last two decades due to its superior control over fluid flow as well as other unique advantages[1]. By introducing two immiscible fluids into microfluidic systems, the reagent fluid is encapsulated inside discrete ... Read More
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
CANDU® reactor pressure tubes (PT) contain D2O, which is used as a moderator. Surrounding the PTs are gas-filled Calandria Tubes (CT), which thermally isolate the PTs from the moderator surrounding the fuel channels. If the garter springs move apart, the PT will sag into the CT. Under ... Read More
Human body communications (HBC) uses the human body as a transmission medium to connect sensors and actuators in, on or in close proximity to the human body. The HBC approach offers tremendous potential for the design and implementation of emerging personalized healthcare systems, as ... Read More
The XENON Dark Matter Experiment utilizes ultra-pure xenon (Xe) as a target for particle interaction in the effort to detect dark matter particles. To measure the purity of Xe, a gas purity monitor (GPM) is being developed which drifts electrons through Xe gas to detect impurities that ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® software is used to understand the difference in behaviour of two Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN) probes. The dipole probe has to be physically rotated to sample the angular distribution of the MBN. The tetrapole probe uses vector superposition to rotate the magnetic ... Read More
This poster presents the design and analysis of a novel horseshoe shaped MEMS actuator for adaptive optics. The actuation mechanism is Lorentz force enabling low current (below 10 mA) operation. The actuator combined with an overlying aluminum coated SU-8 soft polymer membrane for the ... Read More
This work aims to investigate the behaviour of a simple interdigital sensor structure for glucose monitoring in response to distortions in the skin-topology and differences in skin undulation during use. The study then extends to consider a flexible sensor structure which is better able ... Read More
