The low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) thin film MOS Schottky diode on glass substrate for low cost and high performance CO sensing applications

The Au/SnO₂/n-LTPS MOS Schottky diode prepared on a glass substrate for carbon monoxide (CO) sensing applications is studied. The n-LTPS (n-type low temperature polysilicon) is prepared by excimer laser annealing and PH₃ plasma treatment of an amorphous Si thin film on glass substrate. The developed Schottky diode exhibits a high relative response ratio of ∼546% to 100 ppm CO ambient under condition of 200 °C and −3 V bias. The response ratio is better than the reported SnO₂ based resistive type CO sensors of 100% and 37%, respectively on poly-alumina and glass substrates or comparable to 390% of Pt-AlGaN/GaN Schottky diode CO sensor. Thus, the Au/SnO₂/n-LTPS Schottky diode has the potential to develop a low cost high performance CO sensor.     

A spectral imaging array biosensor and its application in detection of leukemia cell

A new type of array immunosensor was developed by combining surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and spectral imaging techniques. The system consisted of a monochromator as the wavelength scanning light source, a polarizer, Kretschmann-Raaether attenuated total reflection (ATR) configuration including array sensor chip, and a CCD camera. The images of transmitting light from ATR were recorded versus the wavelength. By averaging gray scales of the pixels in the area of every gold spot from the image series, the complete spectral resonance curve of all sensing spots on the array can be extracted in parallel. The performance of the developed system was evaluated by analyzing interactions of the anti-CD33 monoclonal antibody to its target leukemic cells using 11 cases of human bone marrow specimens. The specimens were also analyzed with flow cytometry method (FCM) for comparison. The initial results measured by the immunosensor array were corresponded with that of FCM, indicating that the developed parallel method might be clinically suitable for immunophenotyping of acute leukemias. The new sensor array system showed the merits of high-throughput, high sensitivity, high specificity, label free and operation convenient. Spots numbers of the array could be increased if suitable technology were adopted for manipulating the micro bio-liquids on the sensor array chip.     

面向数据重构算法

关于磁盘阵列在线重构的研究一直以来都是国内外研究热点。提出面向数据重构算法。面向数据重构算法只对正被使用逻辑块上数据进行重构,而不需对整个磁盘进行数据重构。测试结果说明了面向数据重构算法相对于现有重构方法显著改善了磁盘阵列的重构性能。相对于DOR算法(现在最常用且最有效重构算法之一),面向数据重构算法将重构性能提高了1至2.2倍,并且没有降低重构过程中磁盘阵列服务性能。

Fabrication and characterization of a miniaturized planar voltammetric sensor array for use in an electronic tongue

A planar voltammetric sensor array for use in an electronic tongue was fabricated using a combination of microfabrication techniques. The techniques of e-beam evaporation and pulsed laser deposition were applied to prepare a device that contained all of the electrodes integrated on a silicon die (6 mm × 6 mm). The working electrodes were metals gold, platinum, iridium and rhodium. They were characterized by SEM and EDX, and by electrochemical investigation of the packaged dies with cyclic voltammetry in solutions of sulfuric acid and of ferrocene carboxylic acid in aqueous buffer solution. The robustness and reproducibility of the devices were assessed by potential cycling in acid solution.

Multi‐band pattern reconfigurable Yagi‐Uda antenna

In this study, novel designs of single‐band and tri‐band pattern reconfigurable antennas are proposed. The design of single‐band pattern reconfigurable antenna is accomplished by the use of varactor diodes with the parasitic elements placed on both sides of the driven conventional printed dipole antenna. By tuning the capacitance of varactor, the antenna operates in four different configurations of radiation pattern which include bi‐directional end‐fire, broadside, and uni‐directional end‐fire radiation patterns. The tri‐band pattern reconfigurable antenna design is achieved by the use of parasitic elements on both sides of a tri‐band driven dipole antenna. Dual‐band LC resonators are used as loading elements along the arms of printed dipole to get two lower order modes in addition to the reference dipole mode, resulting in a triband operation of the driven element. The electrical lengths of the parasitic elements with respect to the tri‐band driven element are controlled by suitably embedding varactor and PIN diodes with them. The proposed tri‐band antenna operates in ten different configurations of radiation patterns in the three operating bands. Fully functional prototypes of single‐band and tri‐band pattern reconfigurable antennas along with the DC bias networks have been fabricated to validate the results obtained in simulation.
