Electromagnetic micromirror array with single-crystal silicon mirror plate and aluminum spring

We have designed and fabricated an addressable 4 /spl times/ 4 array of micromirrors capable of providing up to 90/spl deg/ of angular deflection. Each micromirror comprises a single-crystalline silicon mirror plate supported by aluminum springs, which provides an extremely flat reflective surface and a compliant spring material that enables the integration of the device into a limited area without mitigating its performance (i.e., total angular deflection). The device is fabricated using a combination of surface and bulk micromachining processes, such as electroplating, bulk wet etching and XeF/sub 2/ etch processes. Selective actuation is accomplished by the use of an electrostatic clamping force on each mirror plate. A mirror rotation angle of more than 80/spl deg/ can be obtained by applying an external magnetic field, and this angle can be further increased by the use of an electrostatic force. The designed structure can be used in microphotonic applications.     

共面转换液晶显示器中获得对比度高于1:600的新技术

薄膜晶体管液晶电视(TFT-LCD TV)因为具有薄、轻、紧凑和可随意放置的特点，已经占据了大部分电视机市场。除了这些物理特性以外，最重要的特性是已具有了良好像质的对比度。为了将对比度提高到1：600以上，对偏振片膜、背光源板、滤色片树脂、电极锥角和摩擦条件等都进行了研究。优化的背光板组合，光滑的电极锥角和摩擦方法的控制是提高对比度的主要控制因素。应用新开发的滤色片树脂，对获得高对比度最为有效。     

自治Agents的面向服务的协商模型

提出了一个基于自治Agents的面向服务的协商模型。模型主要包括两大模块：首先定义了一系列的战略和战术过程，使得Agents可以产生初始建议，评价对方的建议，以及在此基础上做出反建议；其次，定义了两个层次的Agent通信机制。二者相辅相成，实现了Agents间合作的动态形成和随机协调，使得Agents可以承担因环境的不确定性而需动态协作的复杂任务。

Improved domino logic for high speed design

Techniques are introduced to improve the speed of domino logic. With an inverted clock scheme, a serial transistor is removed and capacitances at the output node are reduced in the new structures. HSPICE simulation shows that over 20% performance enhancement is achieved.     

Structural properties of 0.65Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.35PbTiO3 relaxor ferroelectric thin films on SrRuO3 conducting oxides

Coating of 0.65Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃–0.35PbTiO₃ (PMN–PT) relaxor ferroelectrics by a sol–gel method is followed by growth of epitaxial SrRuO₃ (SRO) metallic oxide electrodes on SrTiO₃ (STO) single-crystal substrate by pulsed laser deposition. High-quality PMN–PT films on SRO with preferred growth orientation were successfully fabricated by controlling the operation parameters. Structural properties of relaxor ferroelectric PMN–PT thin films on SRO/STO substrates have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In-plane and out-of-plane alignments of the heterostructure are confirmed and the structural twinning of the materials are also revealed.     

Adaptive output-feedback tracking of stochastic nonlinear systems

We address the adaptive stabilization and tracking problems for a class of output feedback canonical systems driven by Wiener noises of unknown covariance. Filtered transformation and backstepping techniques are employed in the stochastic control design. We obtain two adaptive controllers that guarantee the global stability in probability for vanishing perturbations or the input-to-state stability in probability for nonvanishing perturbations respectively. The tracking error can converge to a small residual set around the origin in the sense of mean quartic value.     

Electrochemical determination of estradiol using a poly(l-serine) film-modified electrode

A thin film of poly(l-serine) was prepared via electropolymerization for the determination of trace levels of estradiol. In pH 5.0 phosphate buffer, l-serine was oxidized during the cyclic potential sweeps between −0.60 and 2.0 V, forming a thin film at the electrode surface. The electrochemical behavior of estradiol was investigated. The oxidation peak potential of estradiol shifts negatively at the poly(l-serine) film-coated glassy carbon electrode (GCE) compared with that at the bare GCE. Otherwise, the oxidation peak current greatly increases at the poly(l-serine) film-modified GCE. These phenomena suggest that the poly(l-serine) film exhibits catalytic activity towards the electrochemical oxidation of estradiol. Based on this, a sensitive, rapid and simple electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of estradiol. The limit of detection is evaluated to be 2.0 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹. Finally, this method was successfully used to determine estradiol in blood serum.
