Printed degradable piezoelectric microsystems: From ink formulation to device fabrication and characterization

Morgan Mc Kay Monroe

As the world moves further and further into the semiconductor era, the amount of waste generated from electronics ("e-waste") is increasing rapidly and unsustainably. Of particular note, alternatives to lead-based piezoelectric materials must be establishe ...

Electrode Impact on the Electrical Breakdown of Dielectric Elastomer Thin Films

Herbert Shea, Fabio Beco Albuquerque

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs) enable the realization of energy-efficient and compact actuator systems. DEAs operate at the kilovolt range with typically microampere-level currents and hence minimize thermal losses in comparison to low voltage/high ...

All-Printed Electrocorticography Array for In Vivo Neural Recordings

Diego Ghezzi, Laura Ferlauto, Eleonora Borda, Nenad Marjanovic, Fabian Michael Lütolf

Bioelectronic and neuroprosthetic interfaces rely on implanted microelectrode arrays (MEAs) to interact with the human body. Printing techniques, such as inkjet and screen printing, are attractive methods for the manufacturing of MEAs because they allow fl ...

Angular Color Prediction Model for Anisotropic Halftone Prints on a Metallic Substrate

Roger Hersch, Lin Yang, Petar Pjanic

Under specular reflection, non-isotropic halftones such as line halftones printed on an ink-receiving plastic layer superposed with a metallic layer change their colors upon in-plane rotation of the print. This color change is due to the orientation-depend ...

Color changing effects with cross-halftone prints

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose new methods for creating color varying prints with classical cyan, magenta, yellow inks on a metallic specularly reflecting or on a white diffusely reflecting substrate. We use a special cross-line halftone with optimized surface coverages of th ...

Microfluidic Platform for Seawater Desalination by Coulometric Removal of Chloride Ions through Printed Ag Electrodes

Herbert Shea, Peter Van der Wal, Marianna Fighera

This paper reports on the electrochemical characterization and comparison of printable silver inks for the fabrication of planar electrodes to integrate in a microfluidic platform for in situ desalination of seawater prior to detection of nutrients in mari ...

Color changing effects with cross-halftone prints on metal

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose new methods for creating color varying prints with classical cyan, magenta, yellow inks on a metallic substrate. We use a special crossline halftone with optimized surface coverages of the inks to create color prints on a metallic surface whose ...

Color Changing Prints on a Metallic Substrate

Petar Pjanic

Printing on a flat metallic substrate has gained popularity in recent years. The reflection of light on a specularly reflecting metallic substrate differs strongly from the reflection of light on a diffusely reflecting medium such as paper. Direct prints o ...

Color reproduction, pattern hiding and image alternations with halftone prints on metal

Roger Hersch, Petar Pjanic

We propose new methods for creating color or achromatic images that are printed with classical cyan, magenta, yellow and a white diffusing ink on a metallic substrate. We optimize the surface coverages of the cyan, magenta, yellow and white inks in order t ...

Color Reproduction with Juxtaposed Halftoning

Vahid Babaei

Recently, non-standard inks have begun to make their way into the world of printing. Non-standard inks are printing materials which exhibit unusual effects such as angular color dependence, texture, or fluorescence. They are made of special-effect pigments ...

Beating Shapes Relying on Moire Level Lines

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson

We consider the problem of obtaining a recognizable shape as superposition moire of two line gratings. The method we propose generates moire lines located between the shape foreground and background centers and the shape boundaries. Upon relative displacem ...

Properties and Printability of Inkjet and Screen-Printed Silver Patterns for RFID Antennas

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Francisco Molina Lopez, Jinyu Jason Ruan

We report the modeling, and geometrical and electrical characterization, of inkjet and screen-printed patterns on different polymeric substrates for use as antennas in radio-frequency identification (RFID) applications. We compared the physical and electri ...

Synthesis of authenticable color multi-halftone images

Roger Hersch, Romain Rossier

The present invention enables creating authenticable continuous tone color multi-ink multi-halftone images offering means of verifying their authenticity. The invention relies on color halftones, color separation into different ink surface coverages for di ...

Spectral Prediction of Juxtaposed Halftones Relying on the Two-by-two Dot Centering Model

Roger Hersch, Vahid Babaei

In a color reproduction workflow, spectral prediction models are useful for establishing the correspondence between colorant sur- face coverages and resulting printed halftone color. Spectral predic- tion models enable calculation of the color gamut and es ...

Constrained Acquisition of Ink Spreading Curves From Printed Color Images

Roger Hersch, Thomas Bugnon

Today's spectral reflection prediction models are able to predict the reflection spectra of printed color images with an accuracy as high as the reproduction variability allows. However, to calibrate such models, special uniform calibration patches need to ...

Stencil Lithography and Inkjet Printing as New Tools for Life Sciences Research

Kristopher Pataky

This thesis work focuses on applying microtechnology to produce three toolkits for life-sciences research. The first technique presented is nanostencil lithography for patterning cell adhesions. Nanostencil lithography is a shadow-mask micro and nanopatter ...

Analyzing halftone dot blurring by extended spectral prediction models

Roger Hersch, Mathieu Hébert

Spectral prediction models for halftone prints generally assume homogeneously thick and sharply edged ink dots, i.e., bilevel halftones. In real prints, the ink thickness often decreases at the boundaries of the ink dots, thereby forming continuous-level h ...

Authentication of documents and articles by moire patterns

Roger Hersch, Sylvain Chosson

The present invention relies on the moiré patterns generated when superposing a base layer made of base band patterns and a revealing line grating (revealing layer). The produced moiré patterns comprise an enlargement and a transformation of the individual ...
