Front side metallization of crystalline silicon solar cells using selectively laser drilled contact openings
Selective removal of the silicon nitride dielectric layer has been demonstrated even using nanosecond range laser pulses, through carefully controlling the energy density of laser pulses.

Control in printing systems: modular reconfigurable media paths
Abstract The remarkable drop in the cost of embedded computing, sensing, and actuation is creating a corresponding explosion in the use of these technologies in new systems. In order to…

Electrical stability of inkjet-patterned organic complementary inverters measured in ambient conditions
Complementary organic inverters comprising p- and n-type semiconductors and inorganic-organic bilayer dielectrics were fabricated by inkjet patterning of both the metal contacts and the semiconductors.

Real-Time Vehicle Detection for Highway Driving
We present a new multi-stage algorithm for car and truck detection from a moving vehicle. The algorithm performs a search for pertinent features in three dimensions, guided by a ground…

Relevance of Iron Deposition in Deep Gray Matter Brain Structures to Cognitive and Motor Performance in Healthy Elderly Men and Women: Exploratory Findings
We tested functional correlates of an MR-based iron index in 10 healthy, elderly individuals previously reported to have a higher iron burden in the putamen and lower in the thalamus…

Implications of Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms on the Orchestration of the Immune Response: Lessons Learned from Oral Diseases
Here we will discuss the importance of studies of gene polymorphism towards the identification of susceptible groups or prognostic indicators of oral disease.

On the Charging of Mesospheric Dust
We consider the charging of dust grains, taking into account charging by thermal plasma and possible high energy particles, for a range of grain sizes. We also consider the effect…

Oxidation of ZrB2-SiC Ultrahigh-Temperature Ceramic Composites in Dissociated Air
The oxidation behavior and surface properties of hot-pressed ZrB2–SiC ultrahigh-temperature ceramic composites are investigated under aerothermal heating conditions in the high-temperature, low-pressure partially dissociated airstream of the 1.2 MW Plastron…

Usability of Robotic Platforms for Remote Surgical Teleproctoring
Three proctoring platforms for remote surgery were evaluated to determine which would be most appropriate. The systems were a 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) device, a computer mouse controlling a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera,…

Radar and Rocket Comparison of UHF Radar Scattering from Auroral Electrojet Irregularities: Implications for a Nanosatellite Radar
This article presents the estimates for UHF radar volume scattering coefficient of auroral electrojet irregularities based on previous measurements of absolute radar scattering coefficients and in situ rocket spectra.
