Orientation-patterned gallium phosphide (OP-GaP) has been grown heteroepitaxially on OP gallium arsenide (GaAs) templates using hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). The effect of OP-GaAs template fabrication methods of epitaxial-inversion and wafer bo...

Advances in Electronics and Optics are often preceded by discoveries in Crystal Growth theory and practice. This article represents in retrospect some of the most significant contributions of heteroepitaxy in these and some other areas—the strong imp...

This paper describes the fabrication of a structural scaffold consisting of both randomly oriented nanofibers and triangular prism patterns on the scaffold surface using a combination technique of electrospinning and collector templates. The polycapr...

We report the growth and characterization of thick, completely relaxed {11-22}-oriented InGaN layers using epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO). Although it was difficult to grow ELO-InGaN layers on patterned GaN templates, we succeeded in growing ELO-...

Image registration has always been an important research topic. This paper proposes a novel method of constructing descriptors called the histogram of oriented local binary pattern descriptor (HOLBP) for fast and robust matching. There are three new...

Information system design and implementation require generally accepted norms, principles, and standards. Lately, the challenge for achieving a high degree of general acceptance has increased with the presence of formal governance structures. Complia...

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) with dual dopamine/serotonin-like binding sites (DS-MIP) was synthesized for use as a receptor model of study the druginteraction of biological mixed receptors at a molecular level. The polymer material was produ...

A digital twin is a digital replica of a physical entity to which it is remotely connected. A digital twin can provide a rich representation of the corresponding physical entity and enables sophisticated control for various purposes. Although the con...

Crack-templated thin films, inspired by naturally occurring patterns such as leaf venation, spider webs, and the networked structure of dried egg white, represent a paradigm shift in the design of functional materials. Traditionally, cracks in coatin...

Image-level structural recognition is an important problem for many applications of computer vision such as autonomous vehicle control, scene understanding, and 3D TV. A novel method, using image features extracted by exploiting predefined templates,...

The machine vision measurement module is indispensable for the Modularized Flexible Precision Assembly Station (MFPAS), which is a fully automatic assembly system being developed at Dalian University of Technology (DUT). MFPAS consists of basic and a...

The present work addresses the question of to what extent a geometrical support acts as a physiological determining template in the setup of artificial cardiac tissue. Surface patterns with alternating concave to convex transitions of cell size dimen...

Pattern images can be segmented in a template unit for efficient fabric vision inspection; however, segmentation criteria critically affect the segmentation and defect detection performance. To get the undistorted criteria for rotated images, rotatio...

This article presents the DEMOS prototype platform for creating and exploring multimodal extended-reality smart environments. Modular distributed event-driven applications are created with the help of visual codeless design tools for configuring and...

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is one of the layer-based technologies that fall under the umbrella term “Additive Manufacturing”, where the desired part is created through the successive layer-by-layer addition process with high accurac...

The ability to recognize the own nest is a basic skill in nest constructing solitary bees. Osmia cornuta females use a dual mechanism of visual orientation to approach a nest and olfactory verification of the tube when entering it. Occupied tubular c...

We report on the use of InGaAsP strain-compensated superlattices (SC-SLs) as a technique to reduce the defect density of Indium Phosphide (InP) grown on silicon (InP-on-Si) by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Initially, a 2 μm thick g...
