Acoustic Metamaterials: Air Permeable Super Sound Attenuators and Acoustic Metalenses 

Zhang, Fuxi (2019-07-23)
In recent decades, acoustic metamaterials have become more practical for diverse applications of sound manipulation, rather than academic curiosities and theoretical derivations. This kind of artificial material demonstrates ...

Materials for High Temperature Electronic Packaging 

Cui, Jinzi (2016-12-12)
Normally, the operating temperature of consumer electronic devices is from 0oC to 70oC. However, some industries are interested in electronics that can operate in extreme environments. The working environment temperature ...

Multi-Objective Direct Quasi-Sliding Mode Control of a Two Phase Buck Converter 

Wilson, Christopher G. (2012-07-20)
Multiphase converters are the state of the art for high efficiency point-of-load conversion for modern processors and FPGAs with wide operating load conditions. However, there are a variety of control issues that must be ...

Nonlinear Control and Design Methodologies for Electrostatic MEMS Devices 

Ozmun, Phillip M. (2007-08-15)
A method to extend the travel range of electrostatically actuated MEMS device is presented. A gap closing actuator (GCA) is used to demonstrate the method. An output (position)feedback controller is presented, along with ...

A Novel Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) Fabrication Method 

Adanur, Emir (2011-07-18)
The Through Silicon Via (TSV) is expected to be the future of 3-D chip stacking technology for electronic devices. The structure of the TSV interconnect is developed by first etching deep vias into the surface of a wafer, ...

Wireless Communication Demonstration in Hardware Using an Exactly Solvable Chaotic Oscillator 

Whitney, David Aaron (2019-04-17)
This work presents a hardware demonstration of a mixed-signal wireless communication system that utilizes a chaotic oscillator based on an exactly solvable piecewise linear set of differential equations, along with a matched ...
