Progress in device technology.

چکیده
Advances in implantable device technology over the past few years can be seen in these illustrations. The photograph on the left shows a 1997-model implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in front of an older version. Beside it is a modern single-chamber pacemaker in front of an older mercury-zinc–cell model. The Table shows their relative weights. These devices are now small enough to permit implantation of both in the same pectoral position, as shown in the photograph on the right. The implanted devices in this case were not the same as the one in the photograph but were of similar vintage. Tomorrow’s dual-chamber pacemakers and ICDs will surely be contained in the same “can” and will be smaller still.

Synthesis and Investigation of Photovoltaic Properties of New Organic Dye in Solar Cells Device
In this paper, we designed and synthesized free-metal dyes based on indoline. The proposed dyes were synthesized from phenothiazine as the starting material by standard reactions. The chemical structure of the synthesized dye was confirmed using FT-IR, 1HNMR and DSC techniques. Spectrophotometric measurements of the organic dyes in acetonitrile and on a TiO2 substrate ...
متن کاملAdd-on for High Throughput Screening in Material Discovery for Organic Electronics: “Tagging” Molecules to Address the Device Considerations
This work reflects the worth of intelligent modeling in controlling the nanostructure morphology in manufacturing organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. It suggests the idea of screening the pool of material design possibilities inspired by machine learning. To fulfill this goal, a set of experimental data on a BHJ solar cell with a donor structure of diketopyrrolopyrrole (DDP) and ...
متن کاملA Centennial Review of Sub-sonic Transport Aircraft
From Wright Brothers 1903 to present day 2003, aeronautical technology has made a profound progress. This paper demonstrates the outcome of this progress in weight, wing area, and engine thrust in three categories of transport aircraft of short to long range, regional jets, and turbo-prop commuter aircraft. Also the paper includes those aircraft with distinct jump in aeronautical technology. Fe...

OVERVIEW: Recent progress in electronics technology has been remarkable. Progress in electronics overall has been supported by semiconductor technology with the information equipment field, as typified by multimedia, but one leading example. The semiconductor technology that makes implementation of a system on chip possible has contributed both to higher levels of system performance and also to...
متن کاملControl over Power Conversion Efficiency of BHJ Solar Cells: Learn more from Less, with Artificial Intelligence
Harvesting the energy from the sun through the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells need materials with specific electronic characteristics. However, any promising material if cast improperly in cells will end into low or even null power conversion efficiency (PCE). Cell casting optimization is a time/material consumable step in any photovoltaic manufacturing practice. In this study, we sh...
