We introduce a droplet-jumping phenomenon on a superhydrophobic surface driven by the resonant AC electrowetting. The resonant electrical actuation enables a droplet to accumulate sufficient surface energy for jumping, and superhydrophobic surface minimizes adhesion and hysteresis effects. They provide the effective energy conversion from the surface energy to the kinetic energy and improve the...

The purpose of this report is to describe the clinical outcome from implanting FNS systems for standing and walking mobility in individuals with low cervical or thoracic level spinal cord injuries. Case histories of two implant recipients are reviewed in terms of electrode performance, exercise and functional use of the 8and 16-channel systems. Both subjects were able to exercise and stand repe...

Music recommendation systems are increasingly important in the ever growing world of digital music. However, most commercial music recommenders rely on collaborative filtering techniques to generate music recommendations. These type of recommendations lack two aspects that are important for recommendation. First, they lack transparency they cannot explain why an item was recommended beyond the ...

During the Fiscal Year 2014 (from October 1, 2013 to September 30, 2014), the PI and her group worked on the following three problems. Based on our research, we have published four book/book chapters [1-4], 7 peer-reviewed journal papers [5-11] and 2 peer-reviewed conference papers [12-13]. (1) Image Restoration of Phase Contrast Nano Scale X-ray CT Images Zernike phase contrast is a useful tec...
