The antenna offers frequency reconfigurability along with multi-operational modes ranging from wideband to dual-band and tri-band. A compact-sized antenna is designed initially to cover a broad bandwidth that ranges from 4 GHz to 7 GHz. Afterwards, various multiband antennas are formed by loading various stubs. Finally, the wideband antenna along with multi-stub loaded antennas are combined to form a single antenna. Furthermore, PIN diodes are loaded between the main radiator and stubs to activate the stubs on demand, which consequently generates various operational modes. The last stage of the design is optimization, which helps in achieving the desired bandwidths. The optimized antenna works in the wideband mode covering the C-band, Wi-Fi 6E, and the ISM band. Meanwhile, the multiband modes offer the additional coverage of the LTE, LTE 4G, ISM lower band, and GSM band. The various performance parameters are studied and compared with measured results to show the performance stability of the proposed reconfigurable antenna. In addition, an in-depth literature review along with comparison with proposed antenna is performed to show its potential for targeted applications.

Establishing the molecular-level correlation between leveler structure and performance is therefore essential to the continued advancement of microelectronic copper-plating technology. Herein, nitro blue tetrazolium chloride (NBT) is identified as an efficient leveler for copper microvia superfilling. A multiscale strategy-combining electrochemical measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations-is employed to elucidate the action mechanism of NBT and pinpoint its electroactive sites. Electrochemical tests show that NBT markedly suppresses copper deposition and, together with polyethylene glycol (PEG), effectively resists competitive adsorption by bis-(3-sulfopropyl) disulfide (SPS), thereby enhancing the microvia superfilling performance of the PEG-SPS-NBT additive system. DFT results reveal that the nitro groups and tetrazolium rings constitute the primary adsorption centers on the copper surface; the nitro groups additionally strengthen intermolecular interactions between NBT and PEG. MD simulations further confirm that NBT anchors onto the Cu(111) surface predominantly through these NO<sub>2</sub> groups and the tetrazolium ring, while co-adsorbed PEG enhances the overall adsorption strength of NBT. The electroplating experiment demonstrates that NBT can act as an effective leveler for microvia superfilling. Moreover, XPS analyses further confirm the synergistic co-adsorption of NBT and PEG and verify that the NO<sub>2</sub> groups and tetrazolium rings are the dominant adsorption sites of NBT.

As drivers need to observe road conditions within a wider horizontal viewing field, and considering that the observed angle in a vertical direction is relatively small, it becomes reasonable for an HUD to present a larger horizontal viewing angle than vertical viewing angle. This paper proposes a method to independently regulate the horizontal and vertical viewing angles. The original microstructure morphology is modeled as an ellipsoid, and the curvatures of the ellipsoid's major and minor axes are calculated according to the required viewing angles.

The optical film with the designed microstructures is prepared and measured. The practical measurement results indicate that the tested horizontal and vertical viewing angles exhibit significant differentiation. At 85% of the maximum luminance, the horizontal viewing angle increases from 2° without the film to 23° with the film, while the vertical viewing angle increases from 2° to 10°.

The impact of the boundary confinement effect upon the droplet motion is explored in detail, which is most profound in narrow channels. We found, among other things, that the droplet moving direction may reverse with varying channel widths. Enhanced motion-inducing double-layer polarization due to the presence of a nearby channel wall is found to be responsible for it.

They move like a rigid particle without the surface spinning motions and the induced interior recirculating vortex flows. As the corresponding shear rate is zero at this point, the droplet is resilient to undesirable exterior shear stresses tending to damage the droplet in motion.
