Mold deformation in soft UV-nanoimprint lithography

UV-nanoimprint lithography (UV-NIL) using a soft mold is a promising technique with low cost and high throughput for producing the submicron scale large-area patterns. However, the deformations of the soft mold during imprinting process which can cause serious consequences have to be understood for the practical application of the process. This paper investigated the deformation of the soft mold by theoretical analyses, numerical simulations, and experimental studies. We simulated the mold deformation using a simplified model and finite element method. The simulation and the related experimental results agree well with each other. Through the investigation, the mechanism and affected factors of the mold deformation are revealed, and some useful conclusions have been achieved. These results will be valuable in optimizing the imprinting process conditions and mold design for improving the quality of transferred patterns.     

Asynchronous rotation scan for synthetic aperture interferometric radiometer

Synthetic aperture interferometric technique has wide applications in optics, radio astronomy and microwave remote sensing areas. With the increasing demands of high resolution imaging observation, a new time-sharing sampling scheme of asynchronous rotation scan is proposed to meet the technical challenge of achieving a large equivalent aperture and overcome the operating barriers of space borne application. This configuration is basically composed by two asynchronously and concentrically rotating antenna groups, whose revolving radii and speeds are different. The synthetic aperture system with asynchronous rotation scanning scheme can effectively solve the trade-off problem of system complexity, and greatly simplify the system hardware at the cost of sacrificing a certain time resolution. The basic rules and design methods of asynchronous rotation scan are investigated The Gridding method is introduced to inverse the spiral sampling data for image reconstruction. The potential applications of geostationary orbit (GEO) earth observation and solar polar orbit (SPO) plasma cloud observation are explored with numerical simulations to validate the significance and feasibility of this new imaging configuration.

Down-scaling LUCC based on the histo-variogram

In remote sensing applications, accurate extraction of land type area after classification is very important. But for images of land use/cover change (LUCC) obtained from the special spatial resolution remote sensing data, it will be of great significance to obtain the land type area information with higher resolution by making use of spatial distribution characteristcs information of the land type itself first and further scaling-down in a given scale threshold on the basis of the existing spatial resolution data. An explicit expression of the relationship between the measurement scale, global fractal dimension and the land type area corresponding to different measurement scales is obtained on the research basis of the authors’ histo-variogram using the standardized area index (SAI). A good attempt has been made to obtain the land type area information with higher resolution by merely using the spatial distribution characteristcs information of the land type in the image itself and further scaling-down in a given scale threshold on the basis of the existing spatial resolution data.

The existence of a soluble plasmalogenase in guinea pig tissues

The distribution of plasmalogenase for the hydrolysis of 1-alkenyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (plasmenylethanolamine) in the subcellular fractions of guinea pig tissues was examined. Plasmalogenase activity was found in high abundance in the cytosolic fractions of the brain and the heart. Assessment of microsomal marker enzyme activities in the cytosolic fraction revealed that plasmalogenase activity in the cytosol was not due to microsomal contaminations. The characteristics of the cytosolic plasmalogenase were very similar to the microsomal enzyme with respect to the pH profile of the reaction, the presence of divalent cations and K_m values for plasmenylethanolamine. However, the cytosolic enzyme was slightly less stable at 55°C than the microsomal enzyme. Cytosolic enzyme activity was eluted as a broad peak in Sepharose 6B chromatography with an average molecular weight of 250,000. Our results demonstrate that most of brain plasmalogenase activity is soluble which makes the brain cytosol an excellent source to initiate the purification of this enzyme.     

Effects of NCO/OH molar ratio on miscibility and properties of semiinterpenetrating polymer networks from polyurethane and benzyl konjac glucomannan

Semi‐interpenetrating polymer network (semi‐IPN) films with different NCO/OH molar ratios of the urethane prepolymer, coded as UB, were prepared from polyurethane (PU) and benzyl konjac glucomannan (B‐KGM) by a casting method. The effect of the NCO/OH molar ratio of the urethane prepolymer on the miscibility and properties of the UB films was investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and swelling and tensile tests. The results indicated that, with an increase of the NCO/OH ratio, the crosslink density of the UB films increased, resulting in improved miscibility between PU and B‐KGM and a relatively high light transmittance of the UB films. However, the thermal stability of the UB films decreased with increase of the NCO/OH ratio of the urethane prepolymer, due to the depolymerization of the urethane bonds of the PU networks. When the NCO/OH ratio increased from 2 to 4, the tensile strength of the UB films increased from 15 to 27 MPa, while the breaking elongation decreased from 72 to 16%, resulting from the chemical and physical crosslinks, namely, the enhancement of the covalent bonds and hydrogen‐bonding networks. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
