Current operating systems provide the process abstraction to achieve resource sharing and isolation. From a security perspective, however, an attacker who has compromised one process can usually gain control of the entire machine. This makes security systems running on the same computer, such as anti-virus programs or intrusion detection systems, also vulnerable to attack. In response to the im...

Cell isolation in designated regions or from heterogeneous samples is often required for many microfluidic cell-based assays. However, current techniques have either limited throughput or are incapable of viable off-chip collection. We present an innovative approach, allowing high-throughput and label-free cell isolation and enrichment from heterogeneous solution using cell size as a biomarker....

This work presents a monolithic laterally-coupled wide-spectrum (350 nm < λ < 1270 nm) optical link in a silicon-on-insulator CMOS technology. The link consists of a silicon (Si) light-emitting diode (LED) as the optical source and a Si photodiode (PD) as the detector; both realized by vertical abrupt n+p junctions, separated by a shallow trench isolation composed of silicon dioxide....

An efficient and rapid affinity-based screening method for directly fishing out natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitors from Cyperus. rotundus extract by using immobilized enzyme technology combined with UHPLC-QTOF MS analysis was established. As a results, without time-consuming and laborious isolation workload and false positive interference, five natural alpha-glucosidase inhibitors were succes...

Clinical laboratory testing is now a global activity with laboratories no longer working in isolation but as regional and national networks, and often at international levels. We now have all of the electronic gadgetry via internet technology at our fingertips to rapidly and accurately measure and report on laboratory testing but are our test results harmonized?

Cryoballoon ablation has emerged as a novel tool to perform pulmonary vein isolation. The aim of this paper is to review the advantages, drawbacks as well as possible complications and clinical outcomes of this technology and to discuss some important technical issues.

Fully-depleted transistor technologies, both planar and fin-type, are now in the mainstream for product designs. One of the many interesting topics in the new 3D FinFET technology is the approach to isolation. In this article, key elements that differentiate junction-isolated (bulk) and dielectric-isolated (SOI) FinFET transistors are discussed, encompassing aspects of process integration, devi...

In this paper we present a web application prototype developed for brain tumour patients to access their medical data. The prototype has been developed using existing technology for easy and cost effective deployment, yet supporting strong security requirements. With these constraints in mind we developed an architecture incorporating Information Flow Control for data isolation and audit.
