An automated microdroplet passive pumping platform for high-speed and packeted microfluidic flow applications (Sat, 23 Jan 2010 21:46:14 +0000)

PDF Resto PJ, Mogen BJ, Berthier E, Williams JC Abstract: Surface tension driven passive pumping is a microfluidic technology that uses the surface tension present in small droplets to generate flow. To enhance the potential of this type of passive pumping, a new ‘micro passive pumping’ technique has been developed that allows for high throughput fluidic delivery [...]

Massively parallel signal processing using the graphics processing unit for real-time brain–computer interface feature extraction (Tue, 29 Sep 2009 05:43:46 +0000)

PDF Wilson JA, Williams JC Abstract: The clock speeds of modern computer processors have nearly plateaued in the past 5 years. Consequently, neural prosthetic systems that rely on processing large quantities of data in a short period of time face a bottleneck, in that it may not be possible to process all of the data recorded from [...]

Positioning and guidance of neurons on gold surfaces by directed assembly of proteins using Atomic Force Microscopy (Sat, 18 Apr 2009 00:33:13 +0000)

PDF Staii C, Viesselmann C, Ballweg J, Shi L, Liu GY, Williams JC, Dent EW, Coppersmith SN, Eriksson MA. Abstract: We demonstrate that Atomic Force Microscopy nanolithography can be used to control effectively the adhesion, growth and interconnectivity of cortical neurons on Au surfaces. We demonstrate immobilization of neurons at well-defined locations on Au surfaces using two [...]
