Here, the laser-based fabrication of nanofoam from silicon, borosilicate glass, sodalime glass, gallium lanthanum sulphide and lithium niobate is demonstrated, where the pore size of the nanofoam is shown to depend strongly on the material used, such that the pore width and nanofibre width appear to increase with density and thermal expansion coefficient of the material. In addition, the patterning of nanofoam on a glass slide, with fabricated pattern pixel resolution of ~35 μm, is demonstrated.展开更多

This paper discusses a practical and efficient system by applying mobile software development technologies and ZigBee communication network. To achieve a compact and flexible iOS-based client, this study takes advantage of Model-View-ViewModel pattern as well as Client/Server style. Several encryption technologies such as Message Digest algorithm and Rivest Shamir Adleman algorithm are combined to ensure information security. Compared to the common portable marketing system, the proposed system also provides accurate growth information which is collected by wireless sensor network, and proposes a more flexible design pattern for mobile client hence obtaining a better performance on iOS devices.展开更多
