Abstract—A novel technology for manufacturing high-performance
hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film
transistors (TFTs) is developed in this letter. In the bottom gate
light-shield a-Si:H TFT structure, the side edge of a-Si:H island
is capped with extra deposition of heavily phosphorous-doped
a-Si layer. Such an ingenuity can effectively eliminate the leakage
path between the parasitic contacts of source/drain metal and the
sidewall of a-Si:H island edge. In addition, electrical performance
of the novel a-Si:H TFT ....etc

Composites of shape memory alloys (SMA) with a matrix have been widely studied to suppress the propagation of damage. In these studies, the SMA is used as an actuator. A multi-functional SMA as both sensor and actuator is suitable for constructing intelligent material, such as a material with a sensing and suppressing function. The damage of materials is related to the amount of strain. We studied the use of SMA wire parts as sensors to measure the amount of strain for damage estimation. The acoustic emission (AE) signals induced by phase tran ....etc

Abstract:
Amorphous computing consists of a multitude of interacting computers with modest computing power and memory, and modules for intercommunication. These collections of devices are known as swarms. The desired coherent global behavior of the computer is achieved from the local interactions between the individual agents. The global behavior of these vast numbers of unreliable agents is resilient to a small fraction of misbehaving agents and noisy and intimidating environment. This makes them highly useful for sensor networks, MEMS, inte ....etc

Abstract
This paper presents a novel pixel design for activematrix organic light emitting diode (AM-OLED) displays usingnanocrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (TFTs). The proposedpixel design can effectively reduce the variation of its storeddisplay data caused by the leakage current of nanocrystallinesilicon TFTs, which can in turn increase the contrast resolutionof AM-OLED displays. With a proper setting of its capacitors,the proposed pixel design can achieve a 5.55 reduction on itsdisplay-data variation while requiring only a ....etc

SHAPE MEMORY ALLOYS
Introduction
Shape memory alloys (SMA's) are metals, which exhibit two very unique properties, pseudo-elasticity, and the shape memory effect. Arne Olander first observed these unusual properties in 1938 (Oksuta and Wayman 1998), but not until the 1960's were any serious research advances made in the field of shape memory alloys. The most effective and widely used alloys include NiTi (Nickel - Titanium), CuZnAl, and CuAlNi.
The two unique properties described above are made possi ....etc

In metallic alloys at room temperature, atomic diffusion is typically very sluggish, and equilibrium or metastable phases do not undergo transformations. However, during plastic deformation, significant atomic mobility is possible. In addition, deformation may lead to mixing, possibly favoring the formation of nonequilibrium phases. In this talk, two examples will be presented, in which the rate of transformation to equilibrium is enhanced by mechanical deformation. In an unstable, nanocrystalline Fe50Cu50 solid solution, ball milling leads to ....etc
