Fabrication of Switches on Polymer-Based by Hot Embossing

In MEMS technology, most of the devices are fabricated on glass or silicon substrate. However, this research presents a novel manufacture method that is derived from conventional hot embossing technology to fabricate the electrostatic switches on polymer material. The procedures of fabrication involve the metal deposition, photolithography, electroplating, hot embossing and hot embed techniques. The fundamental concept of the hot embed technology is that the temperature should be increased above Tg of polymer, and the polymer becomes plastic and viscous and could be molded. According to the fundamental concept, the metal layer on the silicon/glass substrate could be embedded into polymer material during the hot embossing process. Afterward, the metal layer is bonded together with the polymer after removing the substrate in the de-embossing step. Finally, the electrostatic switch is fabricated on polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) material to demonstrate the novel method.Comment: Submitted on behalf of TIMA Editions (http://irevues.inist.fr/tima-editions

The Design and Fabrication of Platform Device for Dna Amplification

Thermalcycler were extensively used machine for amplify DNA sample. One of the major problems in the working time was that it spent most of time for cooling and heating. In order to improve the efficient, this study presented a novel method for amplify DNA sample. For this concept, the DNA sample in the silicon chamber which was pushed by a beam through three temperature regions around a center and then the DNA segments could be amplified rapidly after 30 cycles. The polymerase chain reaction platform was composed of thin-film heaters, copper plates, DC powers, and temperature controllers. The photolithography and bulk etching technologies were utilized to construct the thin-film heater and DNA reaction chambers. Finally, 1 pound gL 100bp DNA segment of E. coli K12 was amplified successfully within 36 minutes on this PCR platform.Comment: Submitted on behalf of TIMA Editions (http://irevues.inist.fr/tima-editions

Hodge--Tate prismatic crystals and Sen theory

We study Hodge-Tate crystals on the absolute (log-) prismatic site of $\mathcal{O}_K$, where $\mathcal{O}_K$ is a mixed characteristic complete discrete valuation ring with perfect residue field. We first classify Hodge-Tate crystals by $\mathcal{O}_K$-modules equipped with certain small endomorphisms. We then construct Sen theory over a non-Galois Kummer tower, and use it to classify rational Hodge-Tate crystals by (log-) nearly Hodge-Tate representations. Various cohomology comparison and vanishing results are proved along the way.Comment: v1:This preprint contains almost all results of arXiv:2112.10140 (except section 5 there) and all results of arXiv:2201.10136 . Furthermore, all results are generalized to the log-prismatic setting. Incidentally, this preprint has a same title as arxiv:2201.10136; we apologize for possible confusions. v2: improved exposition, very minor revisions. Comments are welcom

Exploring Online Double Deviation Effect from Psychological Contract Violation, Emotion, and Power Perspectives

Service recovery is a critical moment of truth in retaining customers and reinforcing customer relationships, and has been considered as an “Achilles\u27 heel” in online marketplaces. Poor service recoveries exacerbate the negative effects of the failure, producing a “double deviation” effect. The double deviation effect may arise from the seller’s power misuse and then dissolve the buyer-seller relationship (e.g., violate consumer psychological contract), elicit consumer negative emotions which lead to customer coping behaviors. This study links the theories of psychological contract violation (PCV), emotion, and coping from the power perspective to investigate the double deviation scenario in online auction marketplaces. Two moderators (perceived power and perceived consumer empowerment) are considered in our proposed model. Data collected from 190 consumers of one auction website provide support for the proposed model. The results shed light on what constitutes the determinants of consumer judgments while facing double deviation scenario and how consumers react to and cope with it in online marketplaces. Finally, implications and limitations are discussed in the last part of this paper. Available at: https://aisel.aisnet.org/pajais/vol6/iss1/4
