Altered shear stress value can cause conformational unfolding of vWF, which leads to the activation of the factor. The primary aim of this work is to study the effect of shear stress on the activation of vWF with the designed microfluidic chambers. Numerical simulations were performed on different three-dimensional microfluidic system models, including two input channels converging and forming a single output. In this work, the flow field, the occurring shear stress, and velocity between the two fluids with different densities and dynamic viscosities were investigated. The numerical simulations are necessary to understand the flow field and the shear stress, which affect the factor.","PeriodicalId":413385,"journal":{"name":"2022 45th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology (ISSE)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123872066","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}

CubeSats are small-sized, low-weight satellites commonly used in low Earth orbit for remote sensing or communications. Their most considerable benefits are their high flexibility, quick lead time, and significantly lower price than ‘classical’ satellites, due to their vast use of commercial off-the-shelf components. Lithium-ion batteries are being used as energy storage within these components. Batteries are necessary for the spacecraft; they supply energy when there is not enough generation from solar panels, especially during eclipses. The batteries undertake a series of operations during missions in various conditions that influence their lifetime and performance. The performance of these batteries can be modelled via an electrical-circuit model. Thus, a set of characterization and degradation tests considering cycling aging were performed to identify the cell behaviour throughout an expected battery life in a CubeSat. The aging trends of the battery model parameters based on the provided parametrization procedure were observed and evaluated. Moreover, the developed model reaches high accuracy for a mission profile with the root-mean-square-error below 9 mV.","PeriodicalId":413385,"journal":{"name":"2022 45th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology (ISSE)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124766857","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}

It was intended to explore the potential of the element as a sensitive sensor of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in particular of ethanol vapors. The fabrication technology was described in detail and the mass sensitivity and response times were compared for cantilever structures with different beam lengths. The carbyne-enriched nanolayer was deposited on the silicon cantilevers by ion-assisted pulse-plasma deposition. The results showed better sensitivity and broader linear dynamic range for the longer beam cantilever of 240 μm (0.71 mHz/ppm vs. 0.3 mHz/ppm), but shorter response and recovery time, as well as smaller hysteresis for the shorter beam cantilever of 200 μm (14.8/17.5 s vs. 16/27.9 s). This is the first demonstration of the novel coating implemented in a practically useful ethanol sensing structure with electromagnetically driven, mass-sensitive principle of operation and possible application in the food industry, medicine, pharmacology, or microelectronic industry.","PeriodicalId":413385,"journal":{"name":"2022 45th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology (ISSE)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125065366","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}

In this present research work, the influence of metal gate Work-Function Variability (WFV) on electrical parameters for underlap FinFET devices has been realized using the 3D electronic device simulator. In addition, the standard deviation (σ) reveals that the impact of WFV on Gate-Source/Drain (g-s/d) underlap length led to substantial fluctuations in all electrical performance parameters. This analysis suggests that the impact of WFV on performance parameters dominates in shorter g-s/d underlap length FinFET device. In addition, SRAM cell variability of three different underlap FinFET devices due to WFV has been justified. It has been concluded that WFV results in substantial performance and reliability improvement in the designed underlap FinFET devices.","PeriodicalId":413385,"journal":{"name":"2022 45th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology (ISSE)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130484320","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}

For this reason, textile sensors and wearable evaluation electronic units were designed and created. The result is a wearable system including a textile sensor that can be easily integrated into clothes for better patient comfort. Skin hydration level is calculated based on measured sensor capacity.

The circuit contains several sub-circuits such as self-biased current generator, analog comparator with hysteresis, Schmitt trigger and supply filter. Two nano amp currents with positive temperature coefficients (PTAT), generated from self-bias current generator - one applied on resistor, and one applied on two diode string connected to the supply, are compared at the two inputs of analog comparator. By controlling the resistance value and the multiplier of the current bias, the low-to-high threshold is precisely settled. This also allows to control the temperature behavior of the voltage on the inputs of the comparator and make POR threshold levels less temperature dependent. A hysteresis has been added in the analog comparator, which is used to set the high-to-low POR threshold and to prevent the circuitfrom wrong triggering and oscillations. This circuit is designed in TSMC 0.18 $mu$m technology kit. The simulations are performed at schematic level only, with 5V supply voltage.","PeriodicalId":413385,"journal":{"name":"2022 45th International Spring Seminar on Electronics Technology (ISSE)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116635233","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}

During this investigation the aggressiveness of six different no-clean fluxes for lead-free soldering on toward copper surface was observed. The results showed the flux aggressiveness depended on the flux composition. Fluxes Weller Lötwasser and Topnik RF800 showed less aggressive effect toward copper surface after heat treatment.
