Delamination Root Cause in Temporary Bonding (2014)

The goal of the presented work is to study the delamination root cause in temporary bonding using thermoplastic material as adhesive. The parameters potentially involved in this mechanism are defined, and each of them is separately studied. At the end, the combination between some of the parameters is also tested. Finally the mechanism at the root of the delamination is discussed.
INTRODUCING HIGH-PERFORMANCE POLYPROPYLENE THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER (HPTE) INSULATION FOR MV CABLES IN THE NETHERLANDS (2011)

The insulation material that is mainly in use nowadays for MV cables is cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE). The crosslinking of the material requires specific production facilities and makes XLPE non re-usable. Some years ago, Prysmian started a research for an insulating material with at least equivalent characteristics as XLPE but which is more environmental friendly, resulting in the High performance Polypropylene Thermoplastic Elastomer (HPTE) material with the following benefits: no by-products formation, re-usable, shorter production throughput time, reduced production facilities area and fully compatible with the existing network and network components. Prysmian have started the development of HPTE insulated cores, also referred to as P-Laser © , resulting in several successful type tests, compatibility tests with MV accessories, pilot projects and regular delivery of HPTE insulated MV cables in Italy and Holland. This paper compromises: - an overview of HPTE cable production history - an overview on (type-) test done on HPTE insulated cables especially for the Dutch market, - cable projects where HPTE insulated cables are installed,
Survival of Persons with and without HIV Infection in Denmark, 1995–2005 (2007)

The estimated median survival is more than 35 years for a young person diagnosed with HIV infection in the late highly active antiretroviral therapy era. However, an ongoing effort is still needed to further reduce mortality rates for these persons compared with the general population.
Combustion Synthesized Zinc Oxide Electron‐Transport Layers for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells (2019)

Abstract Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have advanced rapidly with power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) now exceeding 22%. Due to the long diffusion lengths of charge carriers in the photoactive layer, a PSC device architecture comprising an electron‐ transporting layer (ETL) is essential to optimize charge flow and collection for maximum performance. Here, a novel approach is reported to low temperature, solution‐processed ZnO ETLs for PSCs using combustion synthesis. Due to the intrinsic passivation effects, high crystallinity, matched energy levels, ideal surface topography, and good chemical compatibility with the perovskite layer, this combustion‐derived ZnO enables PCEs approaching 17–20% for three types of perovskite materials systems with no need for ETL doping or surface functionalization.

A substrate energy dissipation mechanism in in-phase and anti-phase micromachinedz-axis vibratory gyroscopes (2008)

This paper analyzes energy dissipation mechanisms in vacuum-operated in-phase and anti-phase actuated micromachined z-axis vibratory gyroscopes. The type of actuation is experimentally identified as the key factor to energy dissipation. For in-phase devices, dissipation through the die substrate is the dominant energy loss mechanism. This damping mechanism depends strongly on the die attachment method; rigid die attachment minimizes the loss of energy at the cost of reduced vibrational and stress isolation. For anti-phase actuated devices, dissipation through the substrate is suppressed and immunity to external vibrations is provided. However, even in anti-phase actuated devices fabrication imperfections introduce structural non-symmetry, enabling dissipation of energy through the die substrate due to momentum imbalance. Based on the experimental investigation, an analytical model for energy dissipation through the die substrate is proposed and used to study the effects of the actuation type, die attachment and fabrication imperfections. The limiting Q-factor for in-phase devices is generally below 20 × 103 while Q-factors much higher than 100 × 103 can be achieved with balanced anti-phase actuated gyroscopes.
Potential for virus endogenization in humans through testicular germ cell infection: the case of HIV (2020)

Abstract Viruses have colonized the germ line of our ancestors at several occasions during evolution, leading to the integration in the human genome of viral sequences from over 30 retroviral groups and a few non-retroviruses. Among the recently emerged viruses infecting humans, several target the testis (eg HIV, Zika and Ebola viruses). Here we aimed to investigate whether human testicular germ cells (TGCs) can support integration by HIV, a contemporary retrovirus that started to spread in the human population during the last century. We report that albeit alternative receptors enabled HIV-1 binding to TGCs, HIV virions failed to infect TGCs in vitro . Nevertheless, exposure of TGCs to infected lymphocytes, naturally present in the testis from HIV+ men, led to HIV-1 entry, integration and early protein expression. Similarly, cell-associated infection or bypassing viral entry led to HIV-1 integration in a spermatogonial cell line. Using DNAscope, HIV-1 and SIV DNA were detected within a few TGCs in the testis from one infected patient, one rhesus macaque and one African Green monkey in vivo . Molecular landscape analysis revealed that early TGCs were enriched in HIV early co-factors up to integration and had overall low antiviral defenses when compared with testicular macrophages and Sertoli cells. In conclusion, our study reveals that TGCs can support the entry and integration of HIV upon cell-associated infection. This could represent a way for this contemporary virus to integrate our germline and become endogenous in the future, as happened during human evolution for a number of viruses. Importance Viruses have colonized the host germ line at many occasions during evolution to eventually become endogenous. Here we aimed at investigating whether human testicular germ cells (TGCs) can support such viral invasion by studying HIV interactions with TGCs in vitro . Our results indicate that isolated primary TGCs express alternative HIV-1 receptors allowing virions binding but not entry. However, HIV-1 entered and integrated in TGCs upon cell-associated infection, and produced low level of viral proteins. In vivo , HIV-1 and SIV DNA was detected in a few TGCs. Molecular landscape analysis showed that TGCs have overall weak antiviral defenses. Altogether, our results indicate that human TGCs can support HIV-1 early replication including integration, suggesting potential for endogenization in the future generations.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR A NOVEL COPLANAR WAVEGUIDE BASED FERROELECTRIC VARACTOR SHUNT SWITCH (2005)

ABSTRACT Novel ferroelectric variable capacitor (varactor) shunt switches have been designed, and experimentally verified recently. The varactor shunt switches are designed for microwave and millimeterwave switching applications, based on the nonlinear dielectric tunability of the Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) thin-films. Nanostructured BST thin-films with dielectric tunability as high as 350% were used in this study. The device consists of a coplanar waveguide line loaded by a ferroelectric varactor. The large capacitance of the varactor at zero bias shunts the input signal to ground, thus isolating the output port, resulting in the OFF state of the device. When one applies a bias voltage corresponding of approximately 10 V (a dc electric field of ∼ 250 kV/cm), the varactor's capacitance is reduced to a minimum, allowing maximum transmission to the output, thus resulting in the ON state of the device. The microwave switching performance of the varactor shunt switch is compared with the RF MEMS switches for potential applications at microwave and millimeterwave frequencies.
Novel technique for measuring through-plane modulus in thin polymer films (1998)

Polymer thin films are widely used as coatings and interlevel dielectrics in microelectronic applications. In multilayer structures, stresses generated in the films due to interaction with adjacent layers and solvent evaporation induced shrinkage, causing the polymer chains to orient in the plane of the film resulting in anisotropic film properties. Characterization of properties in all directions is essential for accurate electrical and mechanical design and modeling. A new technique has been developed to measure, in-situ, the through-plane (z) stress-strain behavior of thin polymer films. A parallel plate capacitor device and an interdigitated electrode structure were used as sensors to detect changes in dielectric constant and thickness of thin polymer films under compression, Results are reported for 8-14 micrometer thick, Dow Chemical Cyclotene 3022 benzocyclobutene (BCB) films, The dielectric constant was found to change linearly with stress. Using this result, the through-plane stress-strain curve was obtained.

Pulmonary abscess due to Corynebacterium striatum. (1996)

Non-diphtheria corynebacteria are normal commensals of the skin and mucous membranes of humans. Increasingly, however, these saprophytic organisms are being recognized as pathogens. Patients infected with these bacteria typically have an underlying immunosuppressive process and/or an indwelling venous catheter. Pleuropulmonary infection with Corynebacterium striatum is rare. We present a patient with diabetes mellitus who developed an intrapulmonary abscess due to C. striatum.
Learning to See Through With Events (2022)

Although synthetic aperture imaging (SAI) can achieve the seeing-through effect by blurring out off-focus foreground occlusions while recovering in-focus occluded scenes from multi-view images, its performance is often deteriorated by dense occlusions and extreme lighting conditions. To address the problem, this paper presents an Event-based SAI (E-SAI) method by relying on the asynchronous events with extremely low latency and high dynamic range acquired by an event camera. Specifically, the collected events are first refocused by a Refocus-Net module to align in-focus events while scattering out off-focus ones. Following that, a hybrid network composed of spiking neural networks (SNNs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is proposed to encode the spatio-temporal information from the refocused events and reconstruct a visual image of the occluded targets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed E-SAI method can achieve remarkable performance in dealing with very dense occlusions and extreme lighting conditions and produce high-quality images from pure events.

Large-scale image database triage via EEG evoked responses (2008)

This paper describes an approach for target image search using human brain signals generated by perceptual processes in the brain. The human brain generates event related potentials (ERPs) in response to critical events, such as interesting/novel visual stimuli in the form of a target image. In this paper, we describe experiments involving six professional image analysts and summarize the ERP detection performance as they search for targets within a large image database. We develop a disjoint windowing scheme for data preprocessing to discard irrelevant and redundant information from the raw data to get clean training data. We apply support vector machines to detect ERPs and conduct 10-fold cross validation for parameter regularization. The results demonstrate that the ERP pattern recognition can provide reliable inference for image triage.
Structural features influencing hemagglutinin cleavability in a human influenza A virus (1991)

The cleavability of the hemagglutinin (HA) molecule is related to the virulence of avian influenza A viruses, but its influence on human influenza virus strains is unknown. Two structural features are involved in the cleavage of avian influenza A virus HAs: a series of basic amino acids at the cleavage site and an oligosaccharide side chain in the near vicinity. The importance of these properties in the cleavability of a human influenza A virus (A/Aichi/2/68) HA was investigated by using mutants that contained or lacked an oligosaccharide side chain and had either four or six basic amino acids. All mutants except the one that contains a single mutation at the glycosylation site were cleaved, although not completely, demonstrating that a series of basic amino acids confers susceptibility to cellular cleavage enzymes among human influenza virus HAs. The mutants containing six basic amino acids at the cleavage site showed limited polykaryon formation upon exposure to low pH, indicating that cleavage was adequate to impart fusion activity to the HA. Deletion of the potential glycosylation site had no effect on the cleavability of these mutants; hence, the oligosaccharide side chain appears to have no role in human influenza virus HA cleavage. The inability to induce high cleavability in a human influenza A virus HA by insertion of a series of basic amino acids at the cleavage site indicates that other, as yet unidentified structural features are needed to enhance the susceptibility of these HAs to cellular proteases.

Neurorehabilitation (2013)

Neurologists have a new toolbox of options for neurorehabilitation of disabling brain disorders such as stroke and traumatic brain injury. An emerging intellectual paradigm for neurologic recovery that includes neural regeneration, repair, and dynamic reorganization of functional neural systems, as well as increasing awareness of behavioral principles that may support best return to function and freedom, brought forward treatments based on experience-dependent learning, neurophysiologic stimulation, and a combination of these concepts. In this article, we summarize five rehabilitative approaches to watch: constraint therapy for motor and language recovery, synergy of motor-language rehabilitation, prism adaptation training and other virtual feedback approaches, and noninvasive magnetic and electrical brain stimulation.
Autonomous optimization of non-aqueous Li-ion battery electrolytes via robotic experimentation and machine learning coupling (2022)

Developing high-energy and efficient battery technologies is a crucial aspect of advancing the electrification of transportation and aviation. However, battery innovations can take years to deliver. In the case of non-aqueous battery electrolyte solutions, the many design variables in selecting multiple solvents, salts and their relative ratios make electrolyte optimization time-consuming and laborious. To overcome these issues, we propose in this work an experimental design that couples robotics (a custom-built automated experiment named "Clio") to machine-learning (a Bayesian optimization-based experiment planner named "Dragonfly"). An autonomous optimization of the electrolyte conductivity over a single-salt and ternary solvent design space identifies six fast-charging non-aqueous electrolyte solutions in two work-days and forty-two experiments. This result represents a six-fold time acceleration compared to a random search performed by the same automated experiment. To validate the practical use of these electrolytes, we tested them in a 220 mAh graphite∣∣LiNi<sub>0.5</sub>Mn<sub>0.3</sub>Co<sub>0.2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> pouch cell configuration. All the pouch cells containing the robot-developed electrolytes demonstrate improved fast-charging capability against a baseline experiment that uses a non-aqueous electrolyte solution selected a priori from the design space.
Sim-to-Real for Robotic Tactile Sensing via Physics-Based Simulation and Learned Latent Projections (2021)

Tactile sensing is critical for robotic grasping and manipulation of objects under visual occlusion. However, in contrast to simulations of robot arms and cameras, current simulations of tactile sensors have limited accuracy, speed, and utility. In this work, we develop an efficient 3D finite element method (FEM) model of the SynTouch BioTac sensor using an open-access, GPU-based robotics simulator. Our simulations closely reproduce results from an experimentally-validated model in an industry-standard, CPU-based simulator, but at 75x the speed. We then learn latent representations for simulated BioTac deformations and real-world electrical output through self-supervision, as well as projections between the latent spaces using a small supervised dataset. Using these learned latent projections, we accurately synthesize real-world BioTac electrical output and estimate contact patches, both for unseen contact interactions. This work contributes an efficient, freely-accessible FEM model of the BioTac and comprises one of the first efforts to combine self-supervision, cross-modal transfer, and sim-to-real transfer for tactile sensors.

Photolithography of integrated optical devices in porous glasses (1997)

We are developing a completely new technology for the low cost fabrication of integrated optic devices (IODs) in silica glasses. This technology is based on direct photolithographic writing of IODs onto photoactive sol-gel glasses. Waveguide patterns are formed by straightforward photolithographic techniques. Depending on the choice of photosensitive glass, these waveguide patterns can be passive (simply having a higher index of refraction than the surrounding `host' glass) or active (with optical properties that can be influenced by the application of electric or magnetic fields). The simplicity of this process makes it very promising for the fabrication of commercially viable integrated optic devices.

Timolol Plus Maximum-Tolerated Antiglaucoma Therapy (1979)

• Eighteen patients with glaucoma with a mean intraocular pressure (IOP) ± SD of 28.7 ± 5.5 mm Hg who were receiving maximum-tolerated antiglaucoma therapy were given 0.5% timolol maleate or a placebo twice daily to one eye in a double-masked cross-over fashion in addition to their usual antiglaucoma drugs. After one week of timolol therapy, the mean IOP was significantly lower (23.1 ± 4.1 mm Hg) than after one week of placebo administration (26.4 ± 7.8 mm Hg;<i>P</i>&lt; .025, paired t test). Five patients had decreases in IOP &gt;4 mm Hg, while six patients reached IOPs &lt; 21 mm Hg while receiving timolol therapy. No adverse reactions to timolol were noted. Timolol had an additional IOP-lowering effect in some patients receiving maximum-tolerated medical therapy.
