Anti-fog coatings using the super-hydrophobic approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Surfaces with water contact angles in excess of 150[degrees] have been attracting a great deal of attention. The work done here was in the design and development of an anti-fog coating. The hydrophilic as well as the ...
Low loss film bulk acoustic resonator in liquid environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) is an acoustic resonator mass sensor using the resonance of longitudinal or shears acoustic waves. There is a ...
Laser target triggering of gas switches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Laser target triggering has been investigated at the University of Missouri as a method to reduce the laser energy required to trigger a laser triggered gas switch. Laser targets were solid materials embedded into the ...
A TEM cell design to study electromagnetic radiation exposure from cellular phones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell was designed and fitted with a double ended monopole antenna as a signal leader in order to couple electromagnetic radiation from GSM 900 and 1800 commercial cellular phones into a ...
Design and construction of helmholtz coil for biomagnetic studies on soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A Helmholtz coil with a large usable area of uniform field was designed, constructed and characterized, specifically for bioelectric studies. The design and analysis of the coil were carried out through experiments and the ...
Magnetoresistance in semiconductor-metal hybrids for power applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) in semiconductor-metal hybrids has been studied exclusively for sensor applications. However, some properties of EMR-based devices are potentially advantageous for power applications. ...
Compact power conditioning and RF systems for a high power RF source
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
As part of the University Consortium for High Power Microwave (HPM) Integration, compact power conditioning and RF systems were investigated with a maximum diameter of 15.24 cm. A simulator of a flux compression generator ...
Shallow trench isolation process in microfabrication for flash (NAND) memory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Technology is steadily advancing where semiconductors and microelectronics have become such a huge source of revenue and area of technological interest, resulting in reduced device geometries and more complicated microelectronic ...
The study of single phase diode rectifiers with high power factor and low total harmonic distortion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The mains current in an ac/dc converter contains periodic current pulses due to the action of rectifier and output filter capacitor. The high current peaks cause harmonic distortion of the supply current and low power ...
Ex situ variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry studies on chemical vapor deposited boron-doped diamond films : layered structure and modeling aspects
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Diamond possesses several outstanding physical properties (mechanical hardness, thermal conductivity, chemical inertness and high index of refraction) ...
