Hybrid Integrated Circuit/Microfluidic Chips for the Control of Living Cells and UltraSmall
Hybrid Integrated Circuit/Microfluidic Chips for the Control of Living Cells and UltraSmall Biomimetic Containers A Dissertation Presented by David Aaron Issadore to The School of Engineering and Applied Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the subject of Applied Physics Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts May 2009 © 2009 by David Issadore All rights reserved. David Aaron Issadore Adviser: Robert Westervelt Hybrid Integrated Circuit/Microfluidic Chips for the Control of Living Cells and UltraSmall Biomimetic Containers Abstract This thesis describes the development of a versatile platform for performing biology and chemistry experiments on a chip, using the integrated circuit (IC) technology of the commercial electronics industry. This work represents an important step towards miniaturizing the complex chemical and biological tasks used for diagnostics, research, and manufacturing into automated and inexpensive chips. Hybrid IC / microfluidic chips are developed in this thesis to simultaneously control many individual living cells and small volumes of fluid. Taking inspiration from cellular biology, phospholipid bilayer vesicles are used to package pL volumes of fluid on the chips. The chips can be programmed to trap and position, deform, set the temperature of, electroporate, and electrofuse living cells and vesicles. The fast electronics and complex circuitry of ICs enable thousands of living cells and vesicles to be simultaneously controlled on the chip, allowing many parallel, well‐controlled biological and chemical operations to be performed in parallel. iii The hybrid chips consist of a microfluidic chamber built directly on top of a custom IC, that uses integrated electronics to create local electric and magnetic fields above the chip’s surface. -

Thermal Impedance As a Function of Load and Materials Density, Thickness and Thermal Conductivity
CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES AS THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIALS: PROCESSING AND PROPERTIES Thesis Submitted to The School of Engineering of the UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering By Muhammad Omar Memon Dayton, Ohio May, 2011 CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES AS THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIALS: PROCESSING AND PROPERTIES Name: Memon, Muhammad Omar APPROVED BY: ___________________________ ______________________________ Khalid Lafdi, Ph.D Kevin Hallinan, Ph.D Advisor Committee Chairman Committee Member Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering ___________________________ ______________________________ Lawrance Flach, Ph.D Don Klosterman, Ph.D Advisor Committee Chairman Committee Member Chemical and Materials Engineering Chemical and Materials Engineering _____________________________ ___________________________ John G. Weber, Ph.D Tony Saliba, Ph.D Associate Dean Dean School of Engineering School of Engineering ii ABSTRACT CARBON NANOSTRUCTURES AS THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIALS: PROCESSING AND PROPERTIES Name: Memon, Muhammad Omar University of Dayton Adviser: Dr. Khalid Lafdi The power density of electronic packages has substantially increased. The thermal interface resistance involves more than 50% of the total thermal resistance in current high-power packages. The portion of the thermal budget spent on interface resistance is growing because die-level power dissipation densities are projected to exceed 100 W/cm2 in near future. There is an urgent need for advanced thermal interface materials (TIMs) that would achieve order- of-magnitude improvement in performance. Carbon nanotubes and nanofibers have received significant attention in the past because of its small diameter and high thermal conductivity. The present study is intended to overcome the shortcomings of commercially used thermal interface materials by introducing a compliant material which would conform to the mating surfaces and operate at higher temperatures. -

Geek Chic: Machine Aesthetics, Digital Gaming, and the Cultural Politics of the Case
Games and Culture Volume 2 Number 3 July 2007 175-193 © 2007 Sage Publications Geek Chic 10.1177/1555412007304423 http://gac.sagepub.com hosted at Machine Aesthetics, Digital Gaming, http://online.sagepub.com and the Cultural Politics of the Case Mod Bart Simon Concordia University, Montreal This article explores the relationship between computer gamers and their machines in an effort to characterize cultural attitudes toward the materiality of information technology. Whereas dominant culture desires a world in which information technology performs seamlessly within the fabric of everyday life, case-modding gamers prefer to foreground both their computer machinery and their virtuosity in its manipulation. Instead of desiring the disappearance of machines into the background of a world that those machines pro- duce, case modders revel in, and indeed identify with, the material guts of their computer systems. This machine aesthetic is explored further in the context of the LAN party, where the case modders’ machines become as much of a spectacle as the games on the screen. Keywords: case modding; hardware; materiality; LAN party; aesthetics The Cultural Logic of the Information Society When it comes to experiencing the pleasures of today’s networked virtualities, our bodies and our machines continue to get in the way of a really great immersive experience—or so we have been led to believe. Like other critics before her, Margaret Morse (1998) aptly sums up the cultural logic of digital pleasure-seeking in terms of a desire to escape the human condition. “Travelers on the virtual high- ways of an information society have,” she writes, at least one body too many—the now largely sedentary carbon-based body resting at the control console that suffers hunger, corpulence, illness, old age, and ultimately death. -
