  • Reinventing Supplier Innovation Relationships

    Research-Technology Management

    Companies constantly strive to improve their innovative capacity. While much effort has been made of accessing technology from universities, small high-technology firms, and other non-affiliated entities, executives are looking to a historical source of support: the supplier community. The purpose of this article is to describe nine Better Practices that help costumer and supplier firms bring more effective innovation to market.

  • Towards Enhanced Detection of Chemical Agents: Design and Development of a Microfabricated Preconcentrator

    Conference: Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems Conference

    Cascade Avalanche Sorbent Plate ARray (CASPAR), a micromachined hotplate coated with sorbent polymer, has been demonstrated earlier as a selective preconcentrator for chemical agents and explosives. Up to two orders of magnitude increase in sensitivity has been established by incorporating CASPAR as a front end-modification to commercial detectors. Experimental evidence obtained via thermal imaging and fluorescent particle flow tagging suggests that an 8.5 mm times 8.5 mm current hotplate…

    Cascade Avalanche Sorbent Plate ARray (CASPAR), a micromachined hotplate coated with sorbent polymer, has been demonstrated earlier as a selective preconcentrator for chemical agents and explosives. Up to two orders of magnitude increase in sensitivity has been established by incorporating CASPAR as a front end-modification to commercial detectors. Experimental evidence obtained via thermal imaging and fluorescent particle flow tagging suggests that an 8.5 mm times 8.5 mm current hotplate design is sub-optimal due to non-uniformities in the heating and vapor/particle collection profiles. In this study, we discuss the CASPAR design optimization with the aim to enhance the collection efficiency of hazardous chemical vapor while maintaining thermal stability and precise control before injection of a focused pulse of analyte into a detector.
