Fabrication of a Shear Stress Sensor Matrix Using Standard Printed Circuit Board and Overmolding Technologies

Coplanar Digital Microfluidics Using Standard Printed Circuit Board Processes

We report three novel demonstrations: 1. Coplanar electrowetting 2. Electrowetting on a printed circuit board (PCB) and 3. Transport and mixing in an “open” microfluidic substrate. Similar to “soft” lithography which enabled many researchers to easily prototype and experiment with continuous-flow microfluidics, this work allows researchers to easily experiment with discrete-flow microfluidics (...

Printed circuit board inspection

This paper provides a general overview of immediate and long-term aims of the printed circuit board inspection project of The Robotics Institute. Its purpose is to highlight some of the significant issues specific to printed circuit board inspection and to provide a discussion of our basic thesis that machine inspection should be coupled with machine diagnosis of the causes of observed printed ...

Printed Circuit Board Deconstruction Techniques

The primary purpose of printed circuit board (PCB) reverse engineering is to determine electronic system or subsystem functionality by analyzing how components are interconnected. We performed a series of experiments using both inexpensive home-based solutions and state-of-the-art technologies with a goal of removing exterior coatings and accessing individual PCB layers. This paper presents our...

Modal Analysis of a Printed Circuit Board

In the past two decades, modal analysis has become a major tool in the quest for determining, improving and optimizing dynamic characteristics of engineering structures. Not only has it been recognized in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, but also modal analysis has discovered profound applications for civil and building structures, biomechanical problems, space structures, acoustical in...
