[IEEE 2018 Second International Conference on Inventive Communication and Computational Technologies (ICICCT) - Coimbatore (2018.4.20-2018.4.21)] 2018 Second International Conference on Inventive Communication and Computational Technologies (ICICCT) - Futuristic Surveillance Spectacles
摘要： Nowadays, spectacles are common which are used to flaunt off your style and stand out among the others in a crowd. But why not disguise some special features within it apart from the style and eye power? There have been many attempts to enhance the way we use our daily commodities in order to expand its range of effectiveness. And so, we strive for further utilizing the spectacles not only as a wearable device but also as a productive device. We propose for a surveillance spectacle which is both swanky and with some extra applications. One of the feature is a camera incorporated at the nose bridge of a spectacle to capture images or videos of the nearby surroundings. This can be used as a hands-free camera for personal as well as for professional purposes. Also, the camera along with a lens can be used as a projector for displaying the captured images/videos. We have further implemented a Bluetooth module which can be linked to any wireless printer so as to print out any images. Finally, the most interesting of all, we have made an attempt to add a stress measurement algorithm through which any human eye's stress can be calculated and will further indicate users about the amount of stress on the eye indirectly cautioning them to give some rest to the eye if it is in a humongous amount of stress. Therefore, this concept is what we believe will improve human life and build up a user-friendly environment.

Deep multispectral painting reproduction via multi-layer, custom-ink printing
摘要： We propose a workflow for spectral reproduction of paintings, which captures a painting's spectral color, invariant to illumination, and reproduces it using multi-material 3D printing. We take advantage of the current 3D printers' capabilities of combining highly concentrated inks with a large number of layers, to expand the spectral gamut of a set of inks. We use a data-driven method to both predict the spectrum of a printed ink stack and optimize for the stack layout that best matches a target spectrum. This bidirectional mapping is modeled using a pair of neural networks, which are optimized through a problem-specific multi-objective loss function. Our loss function helps find the best possible ink layout resulting in the balance between spectral reproduction and colorimetric accuracy under a multitude of illuminants. In addition, we introduce a novel spectral vector error diffusion algorithm based on combining color contoning and halftoning, which simultaneously solves the layout discretization and color quantization problems, accurately and efficiently. Our workflow outperforms the state-of-the-art models for spectral prediction and layout optimization. We demonstrate reproduction of a number of real paintings and historically important pigments using our prototype implementation that uses 10 custom inks with varying spectra and a resin-based 3D printer.

[Advanced Structured Materials] Materials Design and Applications II Volume 98 || Orientation of the Digital Model for SLA 3D Printing and Its Influence on the Accuracy of the Manufactured Physical Objects for Micro- and Nano Technologies
摘要： In modern mechanical engineering, there is increased need to find solutions for fast manufacturing of real prototypes. One of these is the fast-growing up-to-date CAD/CAM/CAE system enabling to create digital prototypes. Using CAD systems the conceptual design is analyzed and tested before producing the real prototype. This reduces the compliance costs for manufacturing of the physical models and tooling as well as the production time of the prototype is lessened several times. With the development of technology, and especially in medicine, it is necessary to produce prototypes that can be obtained relatively quickly and meet the requirements of accuracy. Rapid prototyping technologies have such capabilities that they can reproduce digital models with their manufacturer’s precision. To determine the accuracy of printing, a SLA system is used. To determine the accuracy of printing, a SLA system is used. One of the peculiarities of making a detail by this method is the appearance of distortions in the initial stage of construction at large rectilinear plots. In order to determine the minimum printing deviations, a strategy for printing prototype models at a different slope of 0°–90° was used. Patterns are made with coordinate networks, enabling post-print deviations to be evaluated by matching the digital model. The present study will be useful in developing prototype models for micro and nanotechnology in mechanical engineering and medicine, providing a solution for their optimal location with minimal deviations.

Highly Responsive PEG/Gold Nanoparticle Thin Film Humidity Sensor via Inkjet Printing Technology
摘要： In this study, a highly responsive humidity sensor is developed by printing gold nanoparticles (GNP) grafted with a hygroscopic polymer. These GNPs are inkjet printed to form a uniform thin film over an interdigitated electrode with controllable thickness by adjusting the printing parameters. The resistance of the printed GNP thin film decreases significantly upon exposure to water vapor and exhibits a semi-log relationship with relative humidity (RH). The sensor can detect RH variations from 1.8% to 95% with large resistance changes up to 4 order of magnitude with no hysteresis and small temperature dependence. In addition, with a thin thickness, the sensor can reach absorption equilibrium quickly with response and recovery times of ≤1.2 and ≤3 seconds, respectively. The fast response to humidity changes also allows the GNP thin film sensor to distinguish signals from intermittent humidification/dehumidification cycles with a frequency up to 2.5 Hz. The printed sensors on flexible substrates show little sensitivity to bending deformation and can be embedded in a mask for human respiratory detection. In summary, this study demonstrates the feasibility of applying printing technology for the fabrication of thin film humidity sensors, and the developed methodology can be further applied to fabricate many other types of nanoparticle based sensor devices.

Spectroscopy of Oxygen-Sensitive Material for Measuring Contact Lens Oxygen Transmissibility
摘要： Purpose: Oxygen permeability or transmissibility is a crucial parameter for contact lenses to ensure that extended wear will not induce corneal hypoxia. This work tests a new method of using the oxidation of cysteamine, an oxygen-sensitive chemical, to quantify the oxygen transmissibility of current commercial contact lenses and contact lenses loaded with vitamin E. Methods: 3D printing was used to modify eye drop bottles and quartz cuvettes to create systems that allowed insertion of a contact lens in between the cysteamine solution and air. Both systems were exposed to atmospheric conditions where the only path of entry for oxygen was through the contact lens. The entering oxygen reacted with cysteamine, and the rate of cysteamine oxidation was measured using UV-vis spectrophotometry. The rate was then stoichiometrically related to oxygen transmissibility. Results: The eye drop method predicted transmissibility values within 9% of established, commercial values. The cuvette method predicted values within 10% of established values for silicone hydrogel lenses without any correction factor and within 11% for poly-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate lenses after correcting for oxygen entering the system. Incorporation of 20% (w/w) vitamin E into Acuvue? Oasys? lenses did not have a significant impact on the oxygen transmissibility. Conclusions: Both methods presented in this work can reliably measure oxygen transmissibility of contacts lenses or other materials. Further improvements in manufacturing could lead to improved accuracy and reliability, allowing wider use of this method for quantifying the oxygen transport in contact lenses.

Nano-rheology printing of sub-0.2 <i>μ</i> m channel length oxide thin-film transistors
摘要： Down-scaling of the channel length of a fully solution-processed oxide thin-film transistor (TFT) to the nanometer-scale is the key to accessing next-generation devices for Internet-of-Things technology. In this work, we report on the fabrication of an oxide TFT with a channel length of 160 nm, which is far less than those obtained by the current direct-printing techniques, by a newly developed nano-rheology printing (nRP) method. The device had an on/off current ratio, subthreshold voltage, hysteresis, and field-effect mobility of approximately 107, 1.7 V, 0 V, and 0.16 cm2 V s-1, respectively. The key to achieving the sub-micron channel printed TFT is the introduction of a new amorphous La–Ru–O material, which exhibits relatively good conductivity and excellent nRP properties at the nanoscale, for source/drain electrode patterns. Such a short-channel TFT would never be achieved with conventional printing methods, and hence, this approach is highly important for accessing next-generation low-cost, large-area and environmentally friendly printed electronics.

Quality assessment and damage detection in nanomodified adhesively-bonded composite joints using inkjet-printed interdigital sensors
摘要： In this work, the development of a planar interdigital capacitive sensor, directly onto the surface of a composite, for determining the initial quality of curing of bonded composite joints and assessing their long-term durability is presented. The sensor consisted of an interlocking comb-shaped array of silver electrodes and used to monitor the progress of cure of an adhesive resin and the subsequent damage state of the bond line in adhesively-bonded composite joints using impedance spectroscopy. The obtained results from the mechanical characterization indicated that the developed sensor did not affect the quality of the bondline while the added weight of the sensor is negligible. The curing process of the adhesive epoxy was successfully monitored while the ability of the sensor to assess the developed damage created by the mechanical loading was confirmed using transient infrared thermography.

[IEEE 2018 18th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM) - Waterloo, ON (2018.8.19-2018.8.22)] 2018 18th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM) - 3-D Printed Flexible Heterogeneous Substrates with Customizable Gain and Bandwidth
摘要： This paper presents a 3-D printed flexible heterogeneous substrate for wearable antennas with customizable bandwidth and gain. These performance parameters are modified by varying the ratio of percentage area of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) to NinjaFlex. Five flexible 3-D printed microstrip patch antenna (MPA) prototypes are designed, realized and measured each with different percentage area ratios, where the MPA’s RF performance is characterized with curvature. The five substrate designs are based on a combination of rigid ABS tiles of triangular shape surrounded with flexible NinjaFlex. All five designs show minimal antenna sensitivity to curvature, with a minimum resonant frequency shift of less than 1.2%. Results closely agree with simulations. Increasing the ABS area increases the MPA’s gain, but reduces the bandwidth and increases substrate rigidity. This results in a highly customizable and cost-effective substrate that allows the antenna designer flexibility in the choice of design parameters.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE 38th International Conference on Electronics and Nanotechnology (ELNANO) - Kiev (2018.4.24-2018.4.26)] 2018 IEEE 38th International Conference on Electronics and Nanotechnology (ELNANO) - Experimental Characterization of Graphene Thick Films
摘要： While the plasmonic nature of graphene at terahertz frequencies has been widely reported, investigations on the practical utility of graphene at the microwave frequencies are sparse. In this paper, an ink comprising graphene thick films of different concentrations (12.5 wt.%, 25 wt.% and 33 wt.%) is prepared for deposition, by screen printing. Detailed investigation of the surface morphology of the films using SEM and AFM reveals that the graphene films present a homogeneous dispersion of the filler with a comparatively lower surface roughness at higher concentrations, and negligible agglomerates. The films are then printed in between copper electrodes on FR-4 substrate, commonly used in RF circuits, and the measured scattering parameters analyzed.

Application of Aerosol Jet 3D Printing with Conductive and Non-Conductive Inks for Manufacturing mm-Wave Circuits
摘要： In this paper, an application of Aerosol Jet 3D printing with conductive and non-conductive inks for the realization of mm-wave circuits well above 30 GHz is presented and investigated. The Optomec 5X aerosol jet 3D printing system is used together with polyimide and silver inks to fully-additive manufacture various microstrip circuits. A section of microstrip transmission line with a transition to a via-less conductor backed coplanar waveguide was designed together with a T-junction and a branch-line coupler. These circuits were designed to operate within the Ka and V frequency bands. The measured thickness of the polyimide dielectric substrate is 20.7 ± 1.35 μm while the silver traces are 2.6 ± 1.35 μm. A section of the transmission line with the developed transitions was measured up to the W-band, exhibiting a total loss of 0.65 dB/mm at 100 GHz. The T-junction power divider yielded a total loss at its center frequency of 34 GHz of 0.55 dB. The 3-dB branch line coupler yielded a loss at its center frequency at 42 GHz of 1.1 dB. The experimental results demonstrate the application of this approach for fast and high-resolution mm-wave circuit fabrication.
