Optofluidic manipulation mechanisms have been successfully applied to micro/nano-scale assembly and handling applications in biophysics, electronics, and photonics. Here, we extend the laser-based optofluidic microbubble manipulation technique to achieve hybrid integration of compound semiconductor microdisk lasers on the silicon photonic circuit platform. The microscale compound semiconductor ...

Examining large-scale, long-term application use is critical to understanding the degree to which an application meets the needs of its user community. However, there has been limited published analysis of this type of data, none of which pertains to applications that support creating and modifying content using direct manipulation. In this paper, we present an analysis of 2 years of usage data...

Despite the pervasive nature of Internet censorship and the continuous evolution of how and where censorship is applied, measurements of censorship remain comparatively sparse. Understanding the scope, scale, and evolution of Internet censorship requires global measurements, performed at regular intervals. Unfortunately, the state of the art relies on techniques that, by and large, require user...

The fascinating advances in atom and molecule manipulation with the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip allow scientists to fabricate artificial atomic scale structures, to study local quantum phenomena, or to probe physical and chemical properties of single atoms and molecules on surfaces. Recent achievements in individual synthesis of single molecules with the STM tip further open up an e...

the most modern techniques in biotechnology owe their existence to the discovery of dna cloning and the genetic manipulation of organisms. however biotechnology is not new science in fact, many applications represent old practices with new methodologies. human have been used organisms for their benefit in many processes for several thousand years. therefore, one way of thinking about biotechnol...

The miniaturization of technological components requires tools capable manipulating them. Noncontact micromanipulation has recently gained popularity since it minimizes component damage and adhesion problems. However, the simultaneous position orientation (pose) control using noncontact remains an open challenge. In this work, we propose pose millimeter-scale structures at air–water interface l...

The authenticity of digital images is a major concern in multimedia forensics due to the availability advanced photo editing tools/devices. In literature, several image forensic methods are available detect specific processing or operations. However, it remains challenging task design universal method that can multiple this paper, novel Multi-Scale Residual Deep CNN (MSRD-CNN) designed learn ma...

Many manipulation systems using air flow have been proposed for object handling in a non-prehensile way and without solid-to-solid contact. Potential applications include high-speed transport of fragile and clean products and high-resolution positioning of wafers. This paper discusses a comprehensive survey of state-of-the art pneumatic manipulation from the macro scale to the micro scale. The ...
