A helicon wave absorbs RF energy and creates plasma. The plasmas produced are not the tiny plasmas in each pixel of a plasma TV,but are large plasmas able to cover the large sheets of glass used to make LCD computer and TV displays. In the future, the transistors and conductors in these displays can be etched with much less polluting effluent if plasma is used.

“The nanoparticles are designed to attract water and are highly porous, soaking up water like a sponge, while repelling dissolved salts and other impurities,” Hoek said. “The water- loving nanoparticles embedded in our membrane also repel organics and bacteria, which tend to clog up conventional membranes over time.”

With these improvements, less energy is needed to pump water through the membranes. Because they repel particles that might ordinarily stick to the surface, the new membranes foul more slowly than conventional ones. The result is a water purification process that is just as effective as current methods but more energy efficient and potentially much Reed Hutchinson less expensive. Initial tests suggest the Hoek displays a vial of nanoparticles and a piece of his desalination membrane. new membranes have up to twice the productivity — or consume 50 percent less energy — reducing the total expense of desalinated water by as much as 25 “The need for a sustainable, affordable supply of percent. clean water is a key priority for our nation’s future and

Sarrafzadeh and his graduate researchers — Foad Dabiri, Tammara Massey and Ani Nahapetian — have been working on a number of related devices, including a pressure-sensing tennis shoe. The shoe would be a breakthrough for diabetic patients who have lost sensation in their feet, alerting them when blood flow has been compromised and preventing the possible loss of a foot.

Much like a pocket PC, the basic technology of the CustoMed device is similar from application to application, so the device can be customized to fit individual needs in a relatively short amount of time, allowing the patient take it home directly from the physician’s office.

Engineering Senior Gift The UCLA Engineering Class of 2006 raised $4,600 to spend on their class gift – new upgrades to the SEAS Café. Located across from the Hollander Student Lounge on the fifth floor of Boelter Hall, SEAS Café, with a variety of low cost take away meals, snacks and drinks, is a favorite place for many Engineering students.

Using the gifts they received, the UCLA Engineering Class of 2006 put a fresh coat of paint on the walls and purchased new, more functional furniture, making the Café an even more desirable place to stop and have a quick bite or cup of coffee. The students, faculty and staff of the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science will benefit from these upgrades for years to come.

Be on the look out for the Engineering Class of 2007 gift – a digital information kiosk for the fifth floor entrance to Boelter Hall!

Engineering Earthquake Safety for Hospitals

By Mike Gaetani, with Melissa Abraham

results obtained from building-specific test programs conducted in the UCLA Structural/Earthquake Engineering Research Laboratory, located in the basement of UCLA Engineering’s Boelter Hall.

The laboratory, constructed in 2004, includes a 40-foot by 60-foot strong floor, five feet thick, and large reaction blocks with equipment for simulating earthquake loading on components. During the tests, forces, displacements, and strains are measured to capture the response of the component (e.g., col- umn, beam-to-column connection) to a full range of simulated earthquake actions, from low-level shaking all the way up to the “Big One” and beyond. Wallace’s team performs a test of both horizontal and vertical loads on a reinforced concrete wall panel.

Several more testing programs are in the planning stages. Though the cost of each test program usually runs between $100,000 and $200,000 and the added costs associated with the state-of-the-art computer modeling can reach $0.5 to $1.0 million per building, these costs are minimal compared with the tens of millions of dollars in estimated savings that already have been realized by one of the participating hospitals.

The group already is working on additional test programs and detailed computer modeling studies. Testing a concrete wall panel.

Test results so far have confirmed that intrusive, costly rehabilitation measures produced with existing FEMA guide- lines are not always required, and have led to the formulation of more eco- nomical seismic rehabilitation strategies.

Costs typically can be lowered by using fewer materials at fewer locations (less disruptive) throughout the building and, more specifically, reducing foundation work in the face of high costs associated with digging under a structure to add new foundations.

In the case of one hospital building, the new rehabilitation approach eliminated the need to cut back an adjacent building by two feet over several floors; the conventional approach would have entailed making space for new Wallace’s project aims to make seismic testing easier by coupling sophisticated computer perimeterconcrete walls. modeling with results obtained from building-specific test programs.
