Thermoplastic bonding of microfluidic substrates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
The assembly of microfluidic components for lab on a chip (LOC) applications that are manufactured from commodity thermoplastics is challenging. A survey of plastic welding techniques validates that contour transmission ...
Production system improvement : floor area reduction and cycle time analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
A medical device company challenged a research team to reduce the manufacturing floor space required for an occlusion system product by one third. The team first cataloged equipment location and size, detailed the processes ...
Elimination of PZT thin film breakage caused by electric current arcing and intrinsic differential strains during poling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Historically, substrate breakage during the poling process has been responsible for a 2% yield loss for a contract manufacturer specializing in volume production of lead zirconate titatate (PZT) thin film devices. In this ...
