GPS receivers are widely used in navigation and positioning, due to the global availability of GPS signals, its low cost and low power consumption. However, it does not work sufficiently in all signal environments. This raises the need to integrate GPS with other sensor systems (for instance, the inertial navigation system (INS)) to have a robust, continuous navigation solution regardless of th...

Development in microfluidic technology has contributed to increased understanding neural tissue engineering through the vitro observation of cell-on-chip (CoC) systems. This been further helped by integration with broader MEMS (micro mechanical and electromechanical systems) that offers external devices such as detectors or biosensors show characteristics observed object. An on-chip microsystem...

More and more systems exploit parametric excitation (PE) to improve their performance compared to conventional system. Especially in the field of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) such technologies rapidly gain in importance. Different to conventional resonance cases PE may destabilise the system’s rest position when parametrically excited time-periodically with a certain PE frequency. At ...

We demonstrate direct amplitude shaping of high harmonics (HHs) using a reflective micromirror array based on micro-electromechanical-system (MEMS) technology. We show independent control over the intensity of each HH in the observed range (14 - 36 eV). These results are used to calculate the control achieved over the temporal structure of the attosecond pulses in the train.

New materials and light-weight structures call for new concepts of reliability assurance and maintenance. The progress in micro-electronics and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) allows development of highly integrated smart systems in large quantities at low costs that combine signal generation, data pre-processing and wireless communication accompanied by energy harvesting mechanisms, thu...
