The effect of hot isostatic pressure processing (HIP) on MnAl films has been compared to vacuum annealing for the purpose of obtaining substantial amounts of tau phase MnAl in films under 200 nm. Films were deposited by dc sputtering from both MnAlNiC an MnAl targets. As-deposited films were nearly amorphous. Post deposition annealing in vacuum produced only small amounts of the ferromagnetic tau-phase in films thinner than 200 *** all instances, regardless of substrate and sputtering target, the use of HIP in place of vacuum annealing increased the degree of crystallinity of the samples when compared to those annealed in vacuum. For the 100 nm samples deposited from the MnAlNiC target, these changes in crystallinity were accompanied by changes in the M-H loops of the samples. MnAlNiC HIP samples had improved magnetic properties compared to those of equal thickness annealed in vacuum. The 100 nm HIP sample sputtered from the MnAl target also showed an increase in moment, though the changes were not as dramatic as those seen in the samples sputtered from the MnAlNiC *** 50 nm films from both targets also showed a change in crystallinity when compared to vacuum annealed samples. These films, unlike the 100 nm films, had ferromagnetic properties that were no better than those of the vacuum annealed samples. This suggests that while the 2 kbar of pressure used in this study assists in the formation of tau-phase in 100 nm films, the appropriate pressure for forming tau-phase in 50 nm films is yet to be determined.

A glaucoma drainage device for the regulation of intraocular pressure is presented. The device consists of three biocompatible polymer layers: the cover (top layer), the diaphragm (intermediate layer), and the baseplate with a cannular (bottom layer). Finite element analyses (FEA) were performed to find optimal design parameters for the targeted cracking pressure: the diameter of orifice, the thickness of intermediate layer, the width of the channel, and the overlapped length of the orifice over valve seat. Top and bottom layers were made by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) replica molding process, and an intermediate thin layer with through-holes was fabricated by PDMS fill-in molding method and hydrophobic treatment. The overlapped area of the bottom layer was coated with Cr and Au by using PDMS as a shadow mask. Metal layers are not to be bonded between the bottom and the intermediate layers so that the device showed the enhanced reliability in operation and the higher yield in production. Oxygen plasma treatment was performed for irreversible bonds between separate three PDMS layers. The experimental cracking pressure of the fabricated valve was 2.50 kPa, which is very close to the target value (2.67 kPa). The experiments showed that the proposed polymer check valve can regulate the pressure of the aqueous humour, fluid in an anterior chamber, within the normal intraocular pressure range (15-20mmHg) with a high repeatability.

This paper presents a deterministic and adaptive spike model derived from radial basis functions
and a leaky integrate-and-fire sampler developed for training spiking neural networks without direct
weight manipulation. Several algorithms have been proposed for training spiking neural networks
through biologically-plausible learning mechanisms, such as spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity
and Hebbian plasticity. These algorithms typically rely on the ability to update the synaptic strengths,
or weights, directly, through a weight update rule in which the weight increment can be decided
and implemented based on the training equations. However, in several potential applications of
adaptive spiking neural networks, including neuroprosthetic devices and CMOS/memristor nanoscale
neuromorphic chips, the weights cannot be manipulated directly and, instead, tend to change over time
by virtue of the pre- and postsynaptic neural activity. This paper presents an indirect learning method
that induces changes in the synaptic weights by modulating spike-timing-dependent plasticity by means
of controlled input spike trains. In place of the weights, the algorithm manipulates the input spike trains
used to stimulate the input neurons by determining a sequence of spike timings that minimize a desired
objective function and, indirectly, induce the desired synaptic plasticity in the network.

We report the enhanced interface properties between passivation layers and InSb by using remote PECVD system. SiO2 and Si3N4 layers deposited by remote PECVD showed lower interface trap densities than layers deposited by normal PECVD. SiO2 layers deposited by remote PECVD showed 7.1×1011 cm−2 eV−1 of interface trap density at midgap which is slightly lower than SiO2 layers deposited by PECVD. Si3N4 layers deposited by remote PECVD showed 1.6∼1.7×1012 cm−2 eV−1 at midgap which is 3 times lower than Si3N4 layers deposited by PECVD. Interface properties of SiO2 are superior to that of Si3N4 in both case of PECVD and remote PECVD. To investigate the interface properties between SiO2 and InSb, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy was conducted. Indium and antimony oxide phases were found at the interface and these oxide phases could act as the origin of interface traps.
