Operation and optimization of membrane distillation bioreactor by Kwan, Joseph Zheng Xin.

“…In the MDBR studied, a submerged membrane distillation was incorporated into a bioreactor operating at elevated temperature. Since rejection is based on an evaporation mechanism, the retention time of non-volatile soluble and small organics in the submerged MDBR is independent of the hydraulic retention time (mainly water and volatiles). …”

A Highly Linear Ultra-Low-Area-and-Power CMOS Voltage-Controlled Oscillator for Autonomous Microsystems by Pacheco, Javier de Mena, Palacios, Tomas, Hempel, Marek, Vallejo, Marisa Lopez

“…It is designed to minimize leakage, limit high peak currents and provide an output whose frequency variation is linear with the input voltage, while allowing rail-to-rail input range swing. The oscillator occupies 592 μm2 , operates in a frequency range from 43 to 53 Hz and consumes a maximum average power of 210 pW at a supply voltage of 1 V and 4 pW at 0.3 V. …”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”

High-speed and high-photocurrent InP-based uni-traveling-carrier photodiode by Meng, Qianqian

“…Uni-traveling-carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) has attracted much attention since it was proposed in 1997. Compared to conventional PIN-PD, UTC-PD has a unique mode of operation where only faster electrons serve as the active carriers, which can reduce the space charge effect and lead to much higher current, and higher speed operations. …”
