We present the use of the polysaccharide chitosan for immobilizing biomolecules on microfabricated device surfaces. The main advantages of chitosan are its abundance of primary amine groups and its ability to be electrodeposited. Biomolecules are easily attached to chitosan 's amines by standard glutaraldehyde chemistry. The electrodeposition of chitosan allows accurate spatial and temporal control of biomolecule placement. We have demonstrated this biofunctionalization method for two different bioMEMS devices: a biophotonic sensor and a micromechanical biosensor. We have successfully assembled probe DNA on each of them and detected hybridization with target DNA as a demonstration of sensor operation. Here, we briefly present the fabrication procedure and testing results for both of these bioMEMS sensing devices

One-on-one educational computing refers to I student I computing device, which means every student in a group uses a digital learning device. In this paper, we present a model of student question generation called AGQ, which stands for "asking a good question," supported by one-on-one educational computing in the classroom settings. AGQ is designed for engaging students in a challenging learning activity that potentially involves higher-level cognitive processing operations. We shall describe the general design of AGQ, called Product Evolution, and that the current version is a variation of it.
To develop software for embedded systems the designer must take into account different kinds of problems and complexities. The main issues are related to late integration with the target hardware and the separation of...

A study of thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) grown carbon nanotubes (CNTs) field emitters in a triode amplifier configuration is reported. The CNT transistor characteristics were examined by integrating gate and anode with CNT cathode in two structural forms, utilizing a TEM grid (transmission electron microscope specimen holder) as the gate electrode and a micropatterned CNT with self-aligned gate. The TEM-grid CNT triode displayed clearly gate-controlled current modulation behavior with distinct cutoff, linear, and saturation regions, and a reasonable gate turn-on field of ∼5.4V∕μm despite a large cathode-gate spacing of ∼120μm . The field emission result established the basic transistor characteristics of CNTs in a triode configuration. A CNT triode construct with a self-aligned gated fabrication technique was also developed to realize a monolithic triode structure with shorter gate-cathode spacing, lowering gate voltage, and enhancing emission current. The triode exhibited a significantly lower gate turn-on voltage of ∼40V , and gate-controlled modulation of the emission current. An anode current density of ∼30mA∕cm2 was achieved at a gate voltage of ∼80V and an anode voltage of ∼200V . The dc characteristics for both of the CNT triodes were investigated, including Ia versus Va for different Vg . Moreover, dc parameters such as transconductance, amplification factors, and anode resistance of the triode amplifier were determined. The CNT triodes exhibited useful amplification factor and high output impedance.

Although wireless hearing aid systems have been proposed by several research groups, no viable whole-system simulation results have been reported so far for better evaluation of this advanced hearing device. In this paper, a system-level simulation using ADStrade is presented based on one of the typical wireless hearing aid architecture. The results show that the wireless hearing aid system function can be simulated and verified. And from these results, we can get a very promising performance which can be used for further design

This paper describes targeted reaching experiments conducted using a new augmented reality system. Combining a large-workspace immersive virtual environment with physical force feedback, the system distorted subjects' movements using a viscous curl force field. Following previous experiments using a different robot, half the subjects were constrained to horizontal, planar movements. The remaining subjects performed unconstrained movements throughout the 3D workspace. Examining after-effects as an indication of learning, we found that constrained subjects learned the force field. However, it was difficult to detect whether the unconstrained subjects learned forces of identical magnitude. Our results found that force fields strengths eliciting constrained 2D adaptation have difficulty exhibiting after-effects for unconstrained 3D movements. The increased motor variability for 3D reaching movements requires consideration for future experimental design.
