Three new methods for accurate electronic component positioning for thermoformed electronics are presented in this paper. To maintain the mechanical and electrical properties of printed-ink tracks, prevent deformation and stretching during thermoform...

Microfluidic devices, which miniaturize cell culture and chemical experiments from lab-scale to microchip dimensions, have gained significant attention in recent years. Extensive research has been conducted on microfluidic mixers, which facilitate th...

Sparse-view reconstruction has garnered significant interest in X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging owing to its ability to lower radiation doses and enhance detection efficiency. Among current methods for sparse-view CT reconstruction, an algorit...

A low-power SAR ADC with capacitor-splitting energy-efficient switching scheme is proposed for wearable biosensor applications. Based on capacitor-splitting, additional reference voltage Vcm, and common-mode techniques, the proposed switching scheme...

Advanced manufacturing technology and systems (AMTS) combine the principles of mechanical engineering with innovative design to create products and processes that are better, faster, and more precise [...]

Flip chip bonding technology on gold–tin (Au-Sn) microbumps for MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) and 3D packaging is becoming increasingly important in the electronics industry. The main advantages of Au-Sn microbumps are a low electrica...

This paper studies the radial alternating material phononic crystal (RAM-PnC). By simulating the band gap structure of the phononic crystal, a complete acoustic band gap was verified at the resonant frequency of 175.14 MHz, which can prevent the prop...

Glassy carbon provides material characteristics that make it a promising candidate for use as a mould material in precision glass moulding. However, to effectively utilize glassy carbon, a thorough investigation into the machining of high-precision o...

There is a rising need for rapid and reliable analytical methods for separating microorganisms in clinical and biomedical applications. Microscale-insulator-based electrokinetic (iEK) systems have proven to be robust platforms for assessing a wide va...

This article reports a two-stage differential structure power amplifier based on a 130 nm SiGe process operating at 77 GHz. By introducing a tunable capacitor for amplitude and phase balance at the center tap of the secondary coil of the traditional...
