In this work we report injury to isolated red blood cells (RBCs) due to focused shock waves in a cavitation-free environment. The lithotripter-generated shock wave was refocused by a parabolic reflector. This refocused wave field had a tighter focus (smaller beam width and a higher amplitude) than the lithotripter wave field, as characterized by a membrane hydrophone. Cavitation was eliminated ...

We present a new approach to determine the 3-D topography and lateral continuity of seismic interfaces using 2-D-derived controlled-source seismic reflector data. The aim of the approach is to give the simplest possible structure consistent with all reflector data and error estimates. We define simplicity of seismic interfaces by the degree of interface continuity (i.e. shortest length of offse...

The recently developed Spring Back Reflector has low stiffness in the deployed configuration. A general method of stiffening this type of reflector without changing its folding properties is presented. The stiffening is achieved by adding a conical skirt around the edge of the dish; this skirt snaps elastically when the dish is folded. The paper concludes that it is possible to design spring ba...

According to the deformation and movement requirements of the FAST reflector, a multipurpose analysis, including the load-bearing behavior, deformation, construction costs of the reflector supporting structure and its model, is presented in this paper. The advantages and disadvantages of steel and aluminum alloy structures are also discussed and compared through detailed design calculations und...

We have successfully prepared anodized alumina membrane distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) using electrochemical anodization method. The transmission peak of this distributed Bragg reflector could be easily and effectively modulated to cover almost any wavelength range of the whole visible spectrum by adjusting anodization temperature.

We have proposed and fabricated a new mid-infrared reflector using the guided-mode resonance (GMR). The GMR reflector consists of subwavelength Ge grating on GaAs substrate with a low-refractive-index SiOx layer in between. With a total thickness of about 2 μm, a near-100% reflectivity at 8 μm has been obtained both theoretically and experimentally.

A millimeter wave antenna measurement system is presented. The frequencies of operation are around 100 GHz and 300 GHz (W/J Bands). The facility is a single reflector compact range system. Design tasks deal with the serrated reflector and the corresponding millimeter wave instrumentation design.

専攻科電子工学専攻におけるPBL教育について 皆本佳計*、横山隆志*、 * 新居浜工業高等専門学校 電気情報工学科 新居浜工業高等専門学校紀要(特定論文) 第 51 巻 pp1-4 平成 27 年 1 月 PBLとは、Project Based Learning(プロジェクト・ベースト・ラーニング)の略称であり、日本語では 「プロジェクト型学習」や「問題解決型授業」などと訳されることが多い。PBLは、 課題の解決を目的と し、それをチームの力によって課題を解決することや受講者の自主性・自律性を重んじることなどで、従 来の教育手法では育成が難しかった問題解決能力を効率的に育成することが可能な教育手法して注目を集 めている。専攻科電子工学専攻では、技術者に必要な倫理観とシステムデザイン能力を身につけ、ものづ くりを通して社会貢献できる人材を育成することを目標としている。これを実現するため...

We demonstrate the fabrication of an all-dielectric omnidirectional mirror for visible frequencies. The dielectric reflector consists of a stack of 19 alternating layers of tin (IV) sulfide and silica. Using a combination of thermal evaporation (for tin sulfide) and thick electron-beam evaporation (for silica), we have achieved a refractive-index contrast of 2.6/1.46 , one of the highest refrac...
