Abstract This paper reports on the fabrication and characterization of high quality factor (Q) copper (Cu) inductors with thick insulator on standard silicon (Si) substrate (ρ = 10–20 cm). The thickness and the area of the insulating layer are optimized for high Q by fabricating inductors on very thick (∼50 μm) embedded silicon dioxide (SiO2) islands and 4–20 μm thick PECVD SiO2 coated standard...

The multilayer secured DWT-DCT and YIQ color space based image watermarking technique with robustness and better correlation is presented here. The security levels are increased by using multiple pn sequences, Arnold scrambling, DWT domain, DCT domain and color space conversions. Peak signal to noise ratio and Normalized correlations are used as measurement metrics. The 512x512 sized color imag...

A measure of the absorption of elastic waves is the specific absorption coe•cient 1/Q. In dispersive mediums, whether the dispersion is due to geometry, inhomogeneity, or both, measurements are often made outside the body and the measurements must be interpreted as to the distribution of values of 1/Q within the body. Two definitive experiments of this type are those performed using standing wa...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to compare the changes in corneal biomechanical properties following small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) versus Q-value-guided femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (Q-FS-LASIK). METHODS In this prospective comparative study, patients with a sphere plus cylinder measurement of less than -10.00 D and cylinder measurement of less than -5.00 ...

Abstract A monolithic lab-on-a-chip fabricated by femtosecond laser micromachining capable of label-free biosensing is reported. The device entirely made fused silica, and consists a microdisk resonator integrated inside microfluidic channel. Whispering gallery modes are excited the evanescent field circular suspended waveguide, also incorporated within Thermal annealing performed to decrease s...

A highly sensitive, passive relative humidity (RH) sensor using polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) dielectric film is presented. For the first time, PVA is investigated in microwave RF sensing devices for low cost, high resolution and accurate chipless RH sensor realization. Comparative study with traditional humidity sensing Kapton polymer is presented to validate superior performance of PVA film. Result...

We report new measurements and calculations of the nonresonant inelastic x-ray scattering NRIXS from Mg and Al for a wide range of momentum transfers, q. Extended oscillations in the dynamic structure factor S q , due to scattering from the 2p and 2s orbitals i.e., L edges are observed out to more than 150 eV past the binding energy. These results are discussed in context of the recently propos...
