This thesis explores spray cooling methods used in the manufacturing process of glass fibers. At the onset of the manufacturing process glass fibers are extruded from a pool of molten glass through an array of holes in a ...

The focus of this thesis is a new simple and scalable process to make surface coatings that have multiple length scales, or hierarchical features. Typically, the formation of hierarchical structures involves multiple steps ...

Inertial generators are devices that generate electrical energy from their inertial motion, and have only one mechanical connection with their surroundings. This makes them suitable power sources for embedded systems ...
