Extracting Light from Polymer Light‐Emitting Diodes Using Stamped Bragg Gratings

In this paper, we describe a method for increasing the external efficiency of polymer light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) by coupling out waveguided light with Bragg gratings. We numerically model the waveguide modes in a typical LED structure and demonstrate how optimizing layer thicknesses and reducing waveguide absorption can enhance the grating outcoupling. The gratings were created by a soft‐lithography technique that minimizes changes to the conventional LED structure. Using one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional gratings, we were able to increase the forward‐directed emission by 47 % and 70 %, respectively, and the external quantum efficiency by 15 % and 25 %.     

Polymer solar cells with light-trapping structure connected in series by soft contact lamination process

A modified soft contact lamination (SCL) process used to fabricate polymer solar cells (PSCs) with nanostructures was developed. Instead of thermally evaporating the metal electrode directly onto the photoactive or the buffer layer, the metal electrode is firstly deposited onto an elastomeric plate made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), then laminated with a substrate coated with conducting polymer via the SCL process, which provides a non-intrusive way to introduce the metal electrode. Since the PDMS plate is compatible for soft lithography, enabling it to be constructed in a light-trapping structure to enhance the power conversion efficiency. Moreover, the architecture of our SCL-fabricated PSCs is suitable for series connecting individual cells to accumulate output voltages for targeting practical applications.     

Design,characterization and control of SMA springs-based multi-modal tactile display device for biomedical applications

Tactile display is recently attracting much attention in the field of human–computer interaction. There is a strong need for such a device especially for applications in which the touch feeling is lost, such as surgeons who are willing to feel the tissue hardness during laparoscopic surgeries. In this paper, a novel multi-modal tactile display device which can display both surface shape and stiffness of an object is introduced. The conceptual design is built upon using two springs, made of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA), for displaying shape and stiffness. The design parameters of this device are selected based on the spatial resolution of human finger and the elasticity range of the soft tissue. The display device is simulated using Finite Element Method (FEM) to study the effect of design parameters on the resulting stiffness. Simulation results show that the device can display stiffness of an object independent of its shape display. The experimental setup is built and used for the characterization and control of the SMA springs. Experimental results show that the device can display a stiffness range of (35–110) N/m and elongation up to 5 mm.     

A low power-delay-product and robust Isolated-DICE based SEU-tolerant latch circuit design

Soft-error interference is a crucial design challenge in the advanced CMOS VLSI circuit designs. In this paper, we proposed a SEU Isolating DICE latch (Iso-DICE) design by combing the new proposed soft-error isolating technique and the inter-latching technique used in the DICE (Calin et al., 1996 [1]) design. To further enhance SEU-tolerance of DICE design, we keep the storage node pairs having the ability to recover the SEU fault occurring in each other pair but also avoid the storage node to be affected by each other. To mitigate the interference effect between dual storage node pairs, we use the isolation mechanism to resist high energy particle strikes instead of the original interlocking design method. Through isolating the output nodes and the internal circuit nodes, the Iso-DICE latch can possess more superior SEU-tolerance as compared with the DICE design (Calin et al., 1996 [1]). As compared with the FERST design (Fazeli, 2009 [2]) which performs with the same superior SEU-tolerance, the proposed Iso-DICE latch consumes 50% less power with only 45% of power delay product in TSMC 90 nm CMOS technology. Under 22 nm PTM model, the proposed Iso-DICE latch can also perform with 11% power delay product saving as compared with the FERST design (Fazeli, 2009 [2]) that performs with the same superior SEU-tolerance.
