  • Performance evaluation of heterogeneous wireless local area network systems

    Creator:
    Paotrakool, Kittiporn
    Abstract:
    The market for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) has experienced tremendous growth over the last few years and this trend is expected to continue in the future. This growth is due to the fact that wireless LANs provide several benefits including mobility, efficiency, and accuracy. In addition, the cost of...

  • Novel architecture for entrapment of elastomeric membranes in microfluidic systems

    Creator:
    Blackwell, Edward P.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel microlamination architecture that enables the large scale integration of valves into low cost micro energy and chemical systems via membrane entrapment. Polycarbonate layers embossed with microfluidic channels were bonded by ultrasonic welding of raised embossed protrusions that penetrate though the PDMS membranes. The bonding pressure...

  • Modeling and development of fabrication method for embedding membrane based microvalve in bulk microfluidic device

    Creator:
    Abhinkar, Bindiya S.
    Abstract:
    PDMS membrane-based microvalves are becoming increasingly more important for the control of fluid flow within MECS applications such as microreactors used to synthesize nanoparticles and biological macromolecules. The motivation for pursuing PDMS membrane-based microvalves is for implementing a plug flow microreactor to simulate slug flow yielding a narrower residence time...

  • Keyboard design deficiencies of mobile bar code scanners

    Creator:
    Long, Myra D.
    Abstract:
    The use of mobile bar code scanners is expanding to markets beyond popular manufacturing uses, such as healthcare, environmental testing and professional services. The successful interaction of users with mobile bar code scanners is of great importance from a business and technology perspective as well as from the user standpoint....

  • Force Prediction in the Compression Sealing of an Ultra-thin Elastoviscoplastic Membrane

    Creator:
    McNeff, Patrick Scot
    Abstract:
    The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a method for mechanically characterizing a 25 μm thick elastoviscoplastic hemodialysis membrane and for quantifying the force required to use that membrane in compression sealing. First, methods are developed for mechanically characterizing the thin elastoviscoplastic membrane. Then, a finite element model is...

  • Materials and process design for powder injection molding of silicon nitride for the fabrication of engine components

    Creator:
    Lenz, Juergen H. (Juergen Herbert)
    Abstract:
    A new material system was developed for fabricating the combustion engine of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The material system consisted of a mixture of nanoscale and microscale particles of silicon nitride. Magnesia and yttria were used as sintering additives. The powders were mixed with a paraffin binder system. The binder-powder...
