Published: August 2010

AbstractStem cell transplantation holds tremendous potential for the treatment of various trauma and diseases. However, the therapeutic efficacy is often limited by poor and unpredictable post-transplantation cell survival. While hydrogels are thought to be ideal scaffolds, the sol-gel phase transitions required for cell encapsulation within commercially available biomatrices such as collagen and Matrigel often rely on non-physiological environmental triggers (e.g., pH and temperature shifts), which are detrimental to cells. To address this limitation, we have designed a novel class of protein biomaterials: Mixing-Induced Two-Component Hydrogels (MITCH) that are recombinantly engineered to undergo gelation by hetero-assembly upon mixing at constant physiological conditions, thereby enabling simple, biocompatible cell encapsulation and transplantation protocols. Building upon bio-mimicry and precise molecular-level design principles, the resulting hydrogels have tunable viscoelasticity consistent with simple polymer physics considerations. MITCH are reproducible across cell-culture systems, supporting growth of human endothelial cells, rat mesenchymal stem cells, rat neural stem cells, and human adipose-derived stem cells. Additionally, MITCH promote the differentiation of neural progenitors into neuronal phenotypes, which adopt a 3D-branched morphology within the hydrogels.
Direct atomistic simulation of brittle-to-ductile transition in silicon single crystals

Published: August 2010

AbstractSilicon is an important material not only for semiconductor applications, but also for the development of novel bioinspired and biomimicking materials and structures or drug delivery systems in the context of nanomedicine. For these applications, a thorough understanding of the fracture behavior of the material is critical. In this paper we address this issue by investigating a fundamental issue of the mechanical properties of silicon, its behavior under extreme mechanical loading. Earlier experimental work has shown that at low temperatures, silicon is a brittle material that fractures catastrophically like glass once the applied load exceeds a threshold value. At elevated temperatures, however, the behavior of silicon is ductile. This brittle-to-ductile transition (BDT) has been observed in many experimental studies of single crystals of silicon. However, the mechanisms that lead to this change in behavior remain questionable, and the atomic-scale phenomena are unknown. Here we report for the first time the direct atomistic simulation of the nucleation of dislocations from a crack tip in silicon only due to an increase of the temperature, using large-scale atomistic simulation with the first principles based ReaxFF force field. By raising the temperature in a computational experiment with otherwise identical boundary conditions, we show that the material response changes from brittle cracking to emission of a dislocation at the crack tip, representing evidence for a potential mechanisms of dislocation mediated ductility in silicon.
The Role of Mechanical Tension in Neurons
Authors: Saif Taher , Rajagopalan Jagannathan , Tofangchi Alireza 
Published: August 2010

AbstractWe used high resolution micromechanical force sensors to study thein vivomechanical response of embryonic Drosophila neurons. Our experiments show that Drosophila axons have a rest tension of a few nN and respond to mechanical forces in a manner characteristic of viscoelastic solids. In response to fast externally applied stretch they show a linear force-deformation response and when the applied stretch is held constant the force in the axons relaxes to a steady state value over time. More importantly, when the tension in the axons is suddenly reduced by releasing the external force the neurons actively restore the tension, sometimes close to their resting value. Along with the recent findings of Siechen et al (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA106, 12611 (2009)) showing a link between mechanical tension and synaptic plasticity, our observation of active tension regulation in neurons suggest an important role for mechanical forces in the functioning of neurons in vivo.
Mechanical testing of limpet teeth micro-beams using FIB
Authors: Lu Dun , Barber Asa H 
Published: August 2010

AbstractDiscrete volumes of material in the form of a beam have been isolated from a parent limpet tooth using Focused Ion Beam (FIB) techniques. Mechanical bending tests of individual beams are performed using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The relatively small volumes tested in this beam-bending configuration allow approximation of the limpet tooth structure to a uniaxial short fibre composite. This mechanical testing technique is superior to conventional micro-hardness indentation as a defined stress condition within a locally defined volume is examined. Composite theory is shown to be valid for describing the mechanical properties of limpet teeth at sub-micron lengths scales and used to determine the synergy between the nanomaterial constituents.

Published: August 2010

AbstractSelective attention increased the proportion of time that the attended members of a pair of either simple (gratings) or more complex (movie clips) dichoptic stimuli were visible during binocular rivalry. Lower‐level stimulus attributes appear to be more important than meaningfulness in directing attention, which is a finding that may have relevance to the design of head‐worn displays.

P‐40: EMI Reduction Technique by Differential Data Transmission through Lossless Modulo Coding
Authors: Takagi Ayako , Sasaki Hisashi , Matsuba Mitsunori , Okumura Haruhiko 
Published: August 2010

AbstractWe developed EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) reducing techniques which is based on vertically differential EMI suppression method by applying modulo reduction (MVDE) for lossless encoding to low voltage differential signal lines (LVDS). The frequency at peak field strength can be forecasted because the duty ratio of the MVDE signal and transition probability tends to become small. The quality of transmitted signal in MVDE is clarified by measuring the eye pattern of signal transmission. The novel technique reduces EMI by 12 dB for 32‐inch high‐definition TV monitor in displaying the H‐character image.
P‐43: A Novel Dynamic Over‐Drive System
Authors: Chen Cheng‐Jung , Bu Link‐Kai , Chen Shing‐Chia 
Published: August 2010

AbstractIn this paper, a novel overdrive system adaptable for the dynamic analog gamma system is proposed. In contrast to the compound gray‐to‐gray overdrive lookup tables and complicated interpolations utilized in conventional dynamic overdrive system, the voltage‐to‐voltage overdrive lookup table is introduced to retrieve proper overdrive compensation voltage. Afterwards, a voltage‐to‐gray converter (V/G) converts the retrieved overdrive voltage level from voltage level back to gray code, resulting in an overdrive gray code. Accordingly, the overdrive gray code is compensated. Thereby, overdrive technology can then be simply and cost effectively integrated in the analog‐type dynamic gamma enhancement system.

Published: August 2010

AbstractThis paper proposes an adaptive threshold overdriving algorithm to avoid exacerbating noise problems in LCD‐TVs. In conventional LCD‐TVs, video image noise is boosted by the timing controller's overdrive function, resulting in harsh noise as perceived by the human visual system. Various gray data and noise levels have been analyzed, and the conditions which generate the boosted noise have been extracted and applied to a new algorithm to adjust overdrive threshold criteria according to the input images. The new overdriving scheme shows greatly improved noise performance compared to conventional fixed threshold schemes.

Published: August 2010

AbstractMotion blur reduction technology becomes more and more important in LCD TV applications. Recently, black data insertion, scanning backlight, LED local dimming, and high frame rate driving with ME/MC are main technologies for motion blur reduction. Those technologies improve motion blur by reducing temporal integration time of human visual system. We proposed a novel method to reduce motion blur by mapping the designed optical waveform back to the spatial position on the display. By this proposed method, we can improve the motion picture response time without increasing frame rate and decreasing the luminance of display. By simple motion estimation (simply estimating the motion speed and direction) and mapping the designed optical waveform back to the spatial position, the complex computing hardware can be saved and the requirement for LC panel can be reduced.

Published: August 2010

AbstractWe have been developing a front‐light system that uses an OLED light source patterned with a fine pitch. This system can be used in reflective LCDs, electrophoretic displays (EPD), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and other applications. In this paper, we present a new structural design for an OLED front‐light system. In the new system, the space between a pair of glass substrates is filled with resin, and a pattern of black resin is formed on the counter‐substrate such that it corresponds to a pattern of Al cathodes. The new system has excellent characteristics as a front‐light. Light is used more efficiently than in the conventional design, and the reflection of ambient light can be avoided.
P‐80: Improved Light Output by Using Metallic Nanostructures for Display Devices

Published: August 2010

AbstractIn order to increase external quantum efficiency from light emitting diode (LED), it is very important that the photons generated into LED experience multiple opportunities to find the escape cone to enhance light‐extraction efficiency. In this work, we report on the improved light output performance of the ITO/glass based substrates using metallic nanostructures made as a scattering medium for the light extraction from wave guiding to air modes of the device. The light extraction efficiency of the ITO/glass based structures with metallic nanostructures was enhanced compared to that of structures without metallic nanostructures. We believe that the networking of the Ag nanostructures acted as a waveguide to extract the light emitted to the outer medium effectively.

Published: August 2010

AbstractWe introduced an Fe doped MgO thin films as a protective layer in an AC PDP, in order to improve the discharge characteristics of MgO thin film. We investigated both the surface characteristics of the deposited thin films and the electro‐optical properties of four inch test panels. We determined the crystallinity and surface roughness of thin films by examining XRD patterns and AFM images. We demonstrated experimentally that an AC PDP with an Fe doped MgO protective layer has a lower discharge voltage and improved addressing jitter than that of undoped MgO film corresponding to measured secondary electron emission coefficients.
