Replication of nanostructures on microstructures by intermediate film mold inserted hot embossing process

The present study proposes a simple method to replicate nano/micro combined multiscale structures using an intermediate film mold and anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanomold in hot embossing process. The proposed method is simply to add an intermediate film mold with microscale thru-hole patterns to the ordinary mold system, on which nanostructures are patterned, in the hot embossing process. The intermediate film mold is inserted between polymer substrate and AAO nanomold. During the hot embossing process, the polymer first fills microscale thru-hole patterns in the intermediate film mold and subsequently fills nanopores in AAO nanomold, resulting in the nano/micro combined structures. The intermediate film molds, which have microscale thru-hole patterns were fabricated by micro-milling, laser ablation, etching methods and/or LIGA process. The nano/micro combined structures were successfully replicated by the proposed method.     

Collapse-free thermal bonding technique for large area microchambers in plastic lab-on-a-chip applications

Bonding is an essential step to form microchannels or microchambers in lab-on-a-chip applications. In this paper, we present a novel plastic thermal bonding technique to seal and form large area microchambers (planar characteristic width and length on the order of 1 mm and characteristic thickness on the order of 10–100 μm) without collapse by introducing a holed pressure equalizing plate (HPEP) that includes holes of the same size and shape as the microchambers. To demonstrate the proposed technique, two types of large area microchambers [(1) 20 × 10 mm and 40 μm thick and (2) 12 × 2.5 mm and 120 μm thick] with microchannels were designed and replicated on plastic substrates by means of hot embossing and injection molding processes with prepared two nickel mold inserts. The replicated large area microchambers as well as the microchannels in the plastic lab-on-a-chip were successfully sealed (i.e., no leakage) and formed without any collapse by the proposed thermal bonding technique with the help of the HPEP.     

A neural network-based approach for dynamic quality prediction in a plastic injection molding process

This paper presents an innovative neural network-based quality prediction system for a plastic injection molding process. A self-organizing map plus a back-propagation neural network (SOM-BPNN) model is proposed for creating a dynamic quality predictor. Three SOM-based dynamic extraction parameters with six manufacturing process parameters and one level of product quality were dedicated to training and testing the proposed system. In addition, Taguchi’s parameter design method was also applied to enhance the neural network performance. For comparison, an additional back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model was constructed for which six process parameters were used for training and testing. The training and testing data for the two models respectively consisted of 120 and 40 samples. Experimental results showed that such a SOM-BPNN-based model can accurately predict the product quality (weight) and can likely be used for various practical applications.

Semplore: A scalable IR approach to search the Web of Data

The Web of Data keeps growing rapidly. However, the full exploitation of this large amount of structured data faces numerous challenges like usability, scalability, imprecise information needs and data change. We present Semplore, an IR-based system that aims at addressing these issues. Semplore supports intuitive faceted search and complex queries both on text and structured data. It combines imprecise keyword search and precise structured query in a unified ranking scheme. Scalable query processing is supported by leveraging inverted indexes traditionally used in IR systems. This is combined with a novel block-based index structure to support efficient index update when data changes. The experimental results show that Semplore is an efficient and effective system for searching the Web of Data and can be used as a basic infrastructure for Web-scale Semantic Web search engines.

Bio-Inspired Artificial Fast-Adaptive and Slow-Adaptive Mechanoreceptors With Synapse-Like Functions

Development of artificial mechanoreceptors capable of sensing and pre-processing external mechanical stimuli is a crucial step toward constructing neuromorphic perception systems that can learn and store information. Here, bio-inspired artificial fast-adaptive (FA) and slow-adaptive (SA) mechanoreceptors with synapse-like functions are demonstrated for tactile perception. These mechanoreceptors integrate self-powered piezoelectric pressure sensors with synaptic electrolyte-gated field-effect transistors (EGFETs) featuring a reduced graphene oxide channel. The FA pressure sensor is based on a piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) thin film, while the SA pressure sensor is enabled by a piezoelectric ionogel with the piezoelectric-ionic coupling effect based on P(VDF-TrFE) and an ionic liquid. Changes in post-synaptic current are achieved through the synaptic effect of the EGFET by regulating the amplitude, number, duration, and frequency of tactile stimuli (pre-synaptic pulses). These devices have great potential to serve as artificial biological mechanoreceptors for future artificial neuromorphic perception systems.
