Process variations, e.g., etch non-uniformities, affect the edge definition and the exact dimensions of the resonator, and thus impact on the resonance frequency. Through simulation it is demonstrated that a properly designed periodic hole distribution in the bulk of the device can compensate such frequency variations. The perforated resonator is modeled by using effective material properties to make an abstraction of the holes in the resonator. This effective medium model is extended to include the electrostatic spring softening, for which an effective Young's modulus depending on the applied DC-bias is derived. Finally, results are presented for square lattices of circular and rectangular hole shapes.","PeriodicalId":202479,"journal":{"name":"2013 Transducers & Eurosensors XXVII: The 17th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS & EUROSENSORS XXVII)","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131926747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A layer of ferrofluid is self-sustained on a permanent magnet to serve as liquid bearing that lifts the magnet up on the substrate, enabling low-friction movements of the magnet. A levitation height of ~500 μm is observed with a 1.6-mm-sized NdFeB magnet. The levitated magnet is electromagnetically driven by microfabricated planar coils to demonstrate a linear micromotor. The dynamic responses of the magnet slider are characterized to show its acceleration level of ~1 m/s2. The actuation force of 388 μN or greater is obtained. Using an array of the planar coils as the rail track, continuous actuations of the slider is achieved with the maximum velocity of 19 mm/s.","PeriodicalId":202479,"journal":{"name":"2013 Transducers & Eurosensors XXVII: The 17th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS & EUROSENSORS XXVII)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131943267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we present graphite compression sealing technique to achieve leak-proof fluidic interconnection between the inlet tubing and the microchannel, thus removing the limiting factor of epoxy and allowing for high temperature operations. This approach also represents a significant improvement from previous designs in which the tubing are interfaced to the microfluidic channel from the side of the chip resulting which results in significant band broadening and tailing, as well as making the device less amenable to automatic installation. The microfabricated gas chromatography (μGC) column has been successfully used to perform high temperature gas separation.","PeriodicalId":202479,"journal":{"name":"2013 Transducers & Eurosensors XXVII: The 17th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS & EUROSENSORS XXVII)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130032529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report reduction of the activated microglia population by a factor of 1.96, measured over 18 insertions. This suggests decreased immune response for neural probes inserted using ultrasonic insertion. This addresses a key requirement of increasing the operational lifetime of neural probe recording sites. A wirelessly connected neural probe system is used for in vivo electrical, mechanical, and ultrasonic response measurement. A chronic mouse model with in vivo two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy combined with the neural interface is developed to investigate the immune response of the brain, as a potential cause for microelectrode failure with continuous electrical neural measurements.","PeriodicalId":202479,"journal":{"name":"2013 Transducers & Eurosensors XXVII: The 17th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS & EUROSENSORS XXVII)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130175940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anchors of different width (Wa) and length (La) were designed as supports for resonators having a vibrating body of identical dimensions. The results confirm that the main source of damping is associated with anchor losses at 220 MHz and interfacial losses at 1.05 GHz. Furthermore, finite element analysis (FEA) was used to model anchor losses in AlN CMRs, exhibiting excellent agreement with the measurements.","PeriodicalId":202479,"journal":{"name":"2013 Transducers & Eurosensors XXVII: The 17th International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems (TRANSDUCERS & EUROSENSORS XXVII)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134120144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
