Manufacture of a micro-sized piezoelectric ceramic structure using a sacrificial polymer mold insert
Jong Hyun Kim Si-Young Choi Jae-Ho Jeon Geunbae Lim Suk Sang Chang 《Microsystem Technologies》2013,19(3):343-349
There have been technical limitations to manufacture microstructures due to difficulty of demolding during replication process of high aspect ratio microstructure in mass production technologies. In the present study, the fabrication of a novel sacrificial micro mold insert and powder injection molding process using such a micro mold insert is proposed and developed. It utilizes a synchrotron radiation to fabricate the shape of polymer based sacrificial mold inserts and then these mold inserts were exposed at X-ray once more to adjust its solubility. This second X-ray exposure facilitates dissolving of mold inserts instead of demolding process which have difficulties like pattern collapses or defects in case of precise replication process. In this manner, severe problems of demolding process in conventional mass production technologies can be efficiently overcome. To verify the usefulness of the proposed technique, polymer based micro mold inserts with several tens of micrometer sized structure for piezoelectric sensor applications were fabricated using X-ray micromachining process radiated synchrotron. The solubility of mold inserts were optimized by the second X-ray exposure without an X-ray mask and then subsequent powder injection molding process was utilized with a piezoelectric based material. Finally, piezoelectric ceramics with micrometer-scale and high aspect ratio of 5 were successfully fabricated, verifying that the present sacrificial mold system is useful for the precise replication process such as the fabrication of microstructure with high aspect ratio or complicated structure. 相似文献

Multimedia information management and communications systems for medical applications have been undergoing design and development. The aim of these activities has been the development of distributed computer systems providing storage, processing, and communication services required by the medical community. One of the main critical issues of such systems is the handling of multimedia information (i.e., text, images, graphics, and voice) in a uniform way and the fast access to images through the network. We present the design architecture and concepts used in our multimedia database system, along with its performance evaluation. The evaluation focuses on the response times of a multimedia medical database server, as seen by remote workstations for various retrieval and image transfer requests. For this purpose, a queueing network model was developed and simulated. Communications between the workstations and the database server are governed by the client-server model using TCP/IP and appropriate application protocols on a 10 Mb/s Ethernet LAN 相似文献

This paper introduces DISK, a distributed Java Virtual Machine for networks of heterogenous workstations. Several research issues are addressed. A novelty of the system is its object-based, multiple-writer memory consistency protocol (OMW). The correctness of the protocol and its Java compliance is demonstrated by comparing the nonoperational definitions of release consistency, the consistency model implemented by OMW, with the Java Virtual Machine memory consistency model (JVMC), as defined in the Java Virtual Machine Specification. An analytical performance model was developed to study and compare the design trade-offs between OMW and the lazy invalidate release consistency (LI) protocols as a function of the number of processors, network characteristics, and application types. The DISK system has been implemented and running on a network of 16 Pentium III computers interconnected by a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. Experiments performed with two applications: parallel matrix multiplication and traveling salesman problem confirm the analytical model 相似文献

Due to the weak refraction of X-rays in matter, a focusing or deflection of X-ray using conventional refractive optics was not feasible. However, since compound X-ray refractive lens (CXRL) with consecutive holes array was proposed, it becomes currently a noticeable issue in X-ray optics. In this paper, we report on fabrication and performance test of two types of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) CXRLs. Firstly, one dimensional refractive X-ray lenses of parabolic and circular shape is fabricated by LIGA process. Based on the results, we conduct a fabrication of 2-D CXRLs. Here we suggest a LIGA-self align method which doesn’t need a special align equipment and is simpler method than conventional one. Through performance tests, we show experimentally that CXRLs are novel optical components for the hard X-ray range of about 8 keV and that they have possibilities to apply the X-ray optics for micro-focusing, imaging, and lithography. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a new method for determining the optimal base-stock level in a single echelon inventory system where the demand is a compound Erlang process and the lead-time is constant. The demand inter-arrival follows an Erlang distribution and the demand size follows a Gamma distribution. The stock is controlled according to a continuous review base-stock policy where unfilled demands are backordered. The optimal base-stock level is derived based on a minimization of the total expected inventory cost. A numerical investigation is conducted to analyze the performance of the inventory system with respect to the different system parameters and also to show the outperformance of the approach that is based on the compound Erlang demand assumption as compared to the classical Newsboy approach. This work allows insights to be gained on stock control related issues for both slow and fast moving stock keeping units. 相似文献

A numerical investigation on the impingement and spreading of a micro-sized droplet with nonzero impact velocities on a surface with heterogeneous wettability is presented in this paper. The numerical model was implemented through phase-field simulation with finite element formulation. A simple scheme based on interfacial phase-field function gradient was proposed to track the velocity of contact line which was required to specify the dynamic contact angle based on hydrodynamic theory and molecular kinetic approach. For a circular pattern with a higher wettability than the surrounding surface, the impinging droplet final spread diameter decreases with an increasing wettability contrast. The droplet conforms to the circular patterns with smaller diameters up to a threshold, which is dictated by the wettability of the surface surrounding the pattern. Impact velocity of the droplet affects the maximum spread diameter but not the final conformability to a wettability pattern. Impingement and anisotropic spreading of a droplet on a stripe pattern was also demonstrated in a three-dimensional simulation. The high wettability contrast between the inner and outer regions of the stripe pattern confines droplet spreading and elongates the droplet in the direction of the stripe. These simulations demonstrated the conditions for a jetted micro-sized droplet to be confined to a specific area through wettability patterning, which can potentially improve the precision of current inkjet printing technology. 相似文献

Mid-ranging control applications are multivariate and often involve input constraints. Although some strategies have been reported to work well in industry, no systematic comparison has ever been made. The purpose of this report is to compare these schemes to a model-based predictive control (MPC) approach designed specifically for constrained multivariable control problems. The results indicate that although there are special cases where the existing schemes work reasonably well, MPC is best able to solve the problem in the general case. 相似文献

We have studied the sampling performance of conformational search programs using geometric and energetic criteria. Ideally, a conformational search algorithm should identify the largest possible number of low-energy structures (energy criterion) covering the widest possible range of molecular shapes (geometric criterion). Geometric analysis consisted in comparing the distribution of conformations within the generated ensembles by multidimensional scaling and by analysing the eigenvalue structure of the pairwise coordinate covariance matrices. The energetic comparison was carried out by assessing the energy distribution of conformers after minimizing them all using the same semi-empirical quantum mechanics optimization protocol. The present investigation focused on five conformational search programs: DGEOM, QXP, ROTATE, LMOD and OMEGA. We have applied these methodologies to a maximally diverse 604-compound subset of the LeadQuest library. The program LMOD performs best according to the energetic criterion, whereas a wider range of geometrically diverse conformations is sampled by the other programs, at the cost of higher median conformer energies. In terms of speed, OMEGA is fastest. We recommend the use of LMOD or OMEGA for high-quality conformational search applications. 相似文献

Much of the research in visual scanning has adopted a single task experimental paradigm. The characteristics of visual scanning in multi-task situations are largely unknown. A quantitative assessment of the effects of visual scanning on concurrent task performance was gained from two experiments. Subjects were required to perform a simulated driving task, which involved a primary pursuit tracking task and a discrete response task. The response task was one of simple information acquisition in the first experiment and of complex information integration in the second. The information acquisition task required subjects to search for a spatial or verbal target. The information integration task required them to search for a spatial or verbal target and then make a rule-based decision by integrating the information carried by current and previous targets. The two types of task involved either spatial or verbal material, whose location was displayed with 4 levels of spatial uncertainty. The results of the two experiments which were: 2 (single/dual task) × 2 (spatial/verbal material) × 4 (levels of uncertainty of target location) revealed unique characteristics of visual scanning in multi-task performance. The effects of visual scanning on task performance and subjective workload were more pronounced in the dual task conditions than in the single. Increases in scanning demand produced greater interference with a concurrent spatial task than with a verbal one when the location uncertainty of visual scanning was sufficiently high. Implications for multi-task human-machine interface design are discussed. 相似文献

Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) refers to a class of methods for detecting targets using an array of sensors. Various STAP methods use similar operations on different data or in different orders. We have developed a portable, parallel library of subroutines for prototyping STAP methods. The subroutines work on the IBM SP2 and the Intel Paragon under three different operating systems and three different communication libraries, and can also be configured for other systems. We provide execution-time models for predicting the performance of each subroutine. Using the library routines, we created a parallel version of element-space pre-Doppler processing, three parallel versions of higher-order post-Doppler processing, and two versions of PRI-staggered post-Doppler processing. We implemented a fourth version of higher-order post-Doppler processing, the hybrid method, which uses a combination of fine-grain and coarse-grain parallelism to reduce execution time. The hybrid method can be used to improve performance when a large number of processors is available. Our execution time models generally predict the best method and predict execution times to within 10 percent or better for large test cases 相似文献
