Liposomes encapsulating calcein (calcein-liposomes) and de-ionized water (white-liposomes) were prepared and ultrasound was employed as the stimulus in order to release the calcein from liposomes. The impedance change of calcein-liposomes in de-ionized water was measured before and after ultrasound treatment, as well as that of white-liposomes in de-ionized water and in calcein solutions for comparison. Besides, the release of calcein-liposome suspensions was evaluated simultaneously by spectrofluorometer. Results showed that the impedance of white-liposomes would change greatly when it was exposed to ultrasound and it was related to the total ion concentration of the sample. The release rate of calcein calculated with electric impedances showed a good agreement to that calculated with fluorescence intensities. It indicates that the electric impedance measuring method has high potential to estimate the release rate as the fluorescence analysis do, and might be used for non-fluorescent encapsulated liposomes which could not be evaluated by fluorescence method.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"6794 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131363787","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}

According to the theory of Bragg diffraction, four kinds of crystal including LiF, PET, KAP, and MiCa were choosed as dispersive elements.The distance of crystal lattice varies from 0.4 to 2.6 nm. Bragg angle is in the range of 30°~67.5°, the spectral detection angle is in 55.4°~134°. The dispersive crystal sizes are 120×8×0.2mm.The characteristic of optical system is an elliptical geometry.The X-ray source is located at the front focal point.The X-rays diffracted by the elliptically curved crystal are focused at the rear focal point where a width-adjustable exit slit is positioned.The Curved crystal spectrometer mainly consists of dispersive elements, vacuum configuration, aligning device, spectral detectors and three dimensional (3D) micro-adjustment devices. The spectrographic experiment was carried out on the XG-2 laser facility.The PET and KAP crystals are adopted as the dispersive elements,which measure X-ray in the 0.44~0.81 and 1.33~2.46nm region. Emission spectrum of Al plasmas and Ti plasmas have been successfully recorded by using X-ray CCD camera. It is demonstrated experimentally that the measured wavelength is accorded with the theoretical value.

However, the use of a limited number of electromagnets cannot suppress static deflection and high-order-mode elastic vibration, which are characteristics of a flexible magnetic material. To solve this problem, we have proposed a hybrid levitation control system for the thin steel plate using the magnetic force generated by permanent magnets, which have no operational costs, in the areas where the attractive force of the electromagnets is negligible. In this study, we attempt to determine the optimal placement of permanent magnets to reduce the deflection and elastic vibration of a thin steel plate under the generated magnetic field. To verify the usefulness of optimal placement of the permanent magnets, experiments concerning elastic vibration were performed on a magnetically levitated thin steel plate. As a result, it was confirmed that the control performance was improved by the optimal placement of the permanent magnets.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134379546","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}

The system aims to measure water-level in potential areas to overflow like rivers, bridges and dams.

For this purpose, shape of the stirrer and type of the actuator were changed, and force and displacement of the stirrer were analyzed. Sine waves with the resonance frequencies of the stirrer (50 V; 571 Hz) were used as the input signals. The performance of the stirrer was simulated by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to obtain large displacement. Results showed that the amplitude at the tip of stirrer was 100 times larger than the output displacement of the PZT actuator stimulated with the resonance frequency. Concluding this paper, a new type of the micro-stirrer was designed and analyzed by FEA and it was found that the proposed stirrer had a large amplitude with a good input voltage efficiency.","PeriodicalId":250590,"journal":{"name":"ICMIT: Mechatronics and Information Technology","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123075931","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}

That is, the modified repetitive control system follows the periodic reference input with small steady state error, even if a periodic disturbance or uncertainty exists in the plant. Using previously proposed modified repetitive controllers, even if the plants does not includes time-delay, the transfer function from the periodic reference input to the output and that from the disturbance to the output have an infinite number of poles. When the transfer function from the periodic reference input to the output and that from the disturbance to the output have an infinite number of poles, it is difficult to specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic. From the practical point of view, it is desirable that the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic are easily specified. In order to specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic easily, the transfer function from the periodic reference input to the output and that from the disturbance to the output are desirable to have a finite number of poles. Yamada et al. proposed the concept of simple repetitive control systems such that the controller works as a modified repetitive controller and the transfer function from the periodic reference input to the output and that from the disturbance to the output have a finite number of poles. In addition, Yamada et al. clarified the parametrization of all stabilizing simple repetitive controllers. However the method by Yamada et al. cannot be applied for the plant with uncertainty.
