Trapping of Single-Cells Within 3D Electrokinetic Cages

K. Keim [1], A. Gonçalves [1], C. Guiducci [1],
[1] École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne - Laboratory of Life Sciences Electronics (Guiducci Lab), Lausanne, Switzerland

This paper reports the modelling and analysis of three dimensional negative dielectrophoretic traps for cell trapping applications. Dielectrophoresis is a well-established technique for cell analysis and cell trapping. Planar electrodes, at the bottom of a microfluidic channel, have been ... Read More

Electric Field Induced Patterning in Thin Films

A. Atta [1], S. Dwivedi [1], Vivek [1], R. Mukherjee [1],
[1] Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, Kharagpur, West Bengal, India

Interfacial structures/pattern, especially with small-scale dimensions, are important to the chemistry of materials in determining the optical, electrical, mechanical, or other physical properties of novel materials. Polymers are often used for surface patterning. The diversity, the ... Read More

Designing Piezoelectric Interdigitated Microactuators using COMSOL

O. Myers [1], M. Anjanappa [2], and C. Freidhoff [3]

[1] Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS, USA
[2] University of Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD, USA
[3] Northrop Grumman Corporation, Electronics Systems Sector, Baltimore, MD, USA

This paper presents a methodology towards designing, analyzing and optimizing piezoelectric interdigitated microactuators using COMSOL Multiphysics. The models used in this study were based on a circularly interdigitated design that takes advantage of primarily the d{;sub}33 ... Read More

Modeling Directional Two Arm Archimedes Spiral Coils in the RF Electromagnet Range

A. Kalinowski, and J. Maguire
Naval Undersea Warfare Center/Div. Npt. , Newport, RI, USA

The paper addresses a class of problems for modeling and consequently simulating the electromagnetic field radiation pattern from a two arm Archimedes spiral coil. The performance of particular interest is knowledge of the radiated magnetic field H and electric field E in the ... Read More

Design and Simulation of A MEMS Based Horseshoe Shaped Low Current Lorentz Deformable Mirror (LCL-DM)

B. Park [1], T. Chen [1], C. Shafai [1],
[1] Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada

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

An App for Calculating the Electric Field outside Electrical Installations

N. Lavesson [1],
[1] ABB Corporate Research, Västerås, Sweden

This paper describes the implementation of an app for calculating low frequency electric fields outside electrical installations. The app is based on a 2D parametric geometry chosen in such a way that it approximates a large class of electrical installations, which consist of a tower or ... Read More

Impact of Electro-Convection (EC) on Heat Transfer in Liquid-Filled Containers

A. Pokryvailo [1],
[1] Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corporation, Hauppauge, NY, USA

Electric field can bring liquid in motion and thus influence heat transfer. Electro-convection (EC) can be caused by electric forces acting on a liquid, even in absence of space charge. Here, we studied heat transfer in a metal vessel filled by oil, with a submersed high voltage ... Read More

COMSOL Multiphysics® Software Used as a Laplacian Potential Simulator for an Electrospray Propulsion System Extraction Region

S. Gallucci [1], P. Mirbod [1],
[1] Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY, USA

Electrospray propulsion is a contemporary type of thruster technology that electrostatically drives particles through an extractor grid without the need of a pump. The basis of this propulsion system is the coalescence of propellant into a Taylor cone and through a charged extraction ... Read More

Sample Preconcentration in Channels with Nonuniform Surface Charge and Thick Electric Double Layers

A. Eden [1], C. McCallum [1], B. Storey [2], C. D. Meinhart [1], S. Pennathur [1],
[1] University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA
[2] Olin College, Needham, MA, USA

We present a novel method for concentrating and focusing small analytes by taking advantage of the nonuniform ion distributions produced by thick electric double layers (EDLs) in nanochannels with heterogeneous surface charge. Specifically, we apply a voltage bias to a gate electrode ... Read More
