We report design and test results of a new thermal contact method for PrNi $$_5$$ rod, nuclear coolant compact continuous demagnetization refrigerator (CNDR) which can keep temperature below 1 mK continuously, using Zn soldering rather than Cd soldering. By measuring residual electrical resistance short piece, the resistivity between rod an Ag wires link was estimated as $$1.8\pm 0.1 \times 10^...

Eutectic god-tin (Au80Sn20) is widely used as the die-attach material for making radio-frequency (RF) and microwave devices. The metallic bonding is typically achieved by soldering using a gold-tin preform in a forming gas containing hydrogen (H2) and nitrogen (N2) to a peak temperature at 300 ̊C. The performance and reliability of the devices are strongly dependent on the quality of the die-att...

LEGO-style cut-and-choose is known for its asymptotic efficiency in realizing actively-secure computations. The dominant cost of LEGO protocols is due to wire-soldering — the key technique enabling to put independently generated garbled gates together in a bucket to realize a logical gate. Existing wire-soldering constructions rely on homomorphic commitments and their security requires the majo...

We described the synthesis of Au coated SiO2 nanoshells linked with NH2 biomolecular ligands using a simple wet chemical method with a particular application for laser tissue soldering. Tunable nanoshells were prepared by using different gold colloidal concentrations. The nanoshells are characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD and AFM. The FTIR results confirmed the functionalized surfac...
