Integration of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots with epitaxial semiconductor materials offers the possibility of a wide variety of new device structures. In this work, wafer bonding processes for layered GaN/Quantum Dots/GaN structures are described. Bonding is achieved by thermal reorganization of bidentate ligand thiophenethiol which initially caps the CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots. Annealing temperature dependent bond strength feature is characterized. Maximum bond strength is achieved after annealing at 350°C. Effect of annealing on quantum dot photoluminescence is also investigated.
In this paper, a control mechanism is presented to improve the compliance performance of the robot manipulator when it is in contact with the unknown environment. This mechanism guarantees that the dynamics of the who...

Artificial Immune Systems (AISs) are composed of techniques inspired by immunology. The clonal selection principle ensures the organism adaptation to fight invading antigens by an immune response activated by the binding of antigens and antibodies. As an immune response can be elicited even when the binding between an antigen and an antibody is not perfect, an approximate binding might suffice, and a Fuzzy Logic mechanism might be the most appropriate mechanism to control such process. This paper presents a novel hybrid model based on concepts of Immune and Fuzzy Systems with applications to pattern recognition problems. The preliminary results obtained here suggest the proposed model is a promising pattern recognition tool.
We developed a miniaturized laparoscopic zoom camera that is 17 mm long, has >4X optical zoom, and works under 300 lux. This camera is suitable for advancing minimally invasive surgery. Demonstration surgery (chole...

Variability of single-unit neural recordings can significantly affect the overall performance achieved by brain machine interfaces (BMI). In this paper, we present a novel technique to adapt a linear filter commonly used in BMI to compensate for loss of neurons from the recorded neural ensemble, thus minimizing loss in performance. We simulate the gains achieved by this technique using a model of the learning process during closed-loop BMI operation. This simulation suggests that we can adapt to the loss of 24% of the neurons controlling a BMI with only 13% drop in performance.

Cluster analysis is used in several research areas to classify data sets in groups by their similar characteristics. Metaheuristic-based techniques, such as Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), have been applied in order to increase the clustering algorithm performance. GA and ACO-based clustering algorithms are capable of efficiently and automatically forming natural groups from a pre-defined number of clusters. This paper presents a GA and an ACO algorithm to the clustering problem. Both algorithms were refined using local search in order to improve the clustering accuracy. The results are compared on numeric UCI databases.
