With an attempt to achieve high-density fine organic stripes for potential applications in solution-processable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), we have performed slot-die coatings using a shim with slit channels in various shapes (rectangular-shaped narrow, rectangular-shaped wide, and reversely tapered channels) in the presence of narrow µ-tips. Based on hydraulic-electric circuit analogy, we have analyzed the fluid dynamics of an aqueous poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). It is observed that the coating speed can be increased and the stripe width can be reduced using a shim with rectangular-shaped wide slit channels. It is attributed that the hydraulic resistance is decreased and thus more fluid can reach a substrate through µ-tips. This behavior is consistent with the simulation result of the equivalent electrical circuit with a DC voltage source representing a pressure source. Using the shim with 150-µm-wide slit channels, we have successfully fabricated 200 PEDOT:PSS stripes within the effective coating width (150 mm) and 160 OLED stripes (34 stripes per inch) with the luminance of 325 cd/m2 at 5 V.

Abstract This paper presents the results of a general study that has been made of a linear system having 2 deg of freedom. This is representative for many mechanical vibration problems as well as for problems of other physical systems. The system is described specifically in terms of the mechanical parameters of translational motion and consists of one mass, spring, dashpot system mounted on another. Three types of generalized solutions are given for the maximum motion of the first system relative to the second, or the maximum stress developed in the spring of the first system. One of these is for known sinusoidal forces applied to the second system, one is for the whole system striking a fixed base at a known velocity without rebound, and one is for such an impact and one rebound. The solutions were obtained on the mechanical transients analyzer which employs the principle of electric-circuit analogy. The solutions are given in dimensionless curve form for a wide range of all parameters.

Relative Wind

When the clothed human body experiences relative wind due to walking and external wind, heat and vapor transfers from the body to the environment are enhanced by ventilation through clothing. The clothing ventilation is related to the clothing permeability, open and close apertures, relative wind, clothed limbs swinging motion as well as the inter-segmental ventilation that occurs at the interconnection between the clothed human trunk and arms. In this study, a computationally effective model is developed to estimate clothing ventilation based on the analogy between the air flow in the microclimate air layer and an electric circuit composed of resistance and inductance elements. The model takes into account the inter-connection between the segments for the clothed human upper part driven by difference of pressure in the microclimate air of the trunk and the upper arms. The estimation of the segmental ventilation, taking into account the inter-connection, allows the correction of the clothing dry resistances in a bio-heat model that will be used to predict the sensible heat losses of the clothed human.

Integrated microfluidic networks are being rapidly deployed in academia and industry for a vast spectrum of applications, ranging from molecular biology to quantum physics. Current design paradigm for microfluidic layouts is typically based on numerical modeling, which is not suitable for rapid prototyping nor parameter driven design. Here, we utilize the hydraulic-electric circuit analogy to propose a circuit analysis methodology and an open-source framework for a parameter-guided design of integrated microfluidic layouts. We provide a method with which a user can intuitively define the circuit’s constraints and an algorithm which optimizes the hydraulic layout according to physical constraints. Our algorithm supports valves-integrated design and provides a simulation framework that describes fluid flow with different valves configuration.
