Abstract Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) are dominant in generating and receiving acoustic signals. CMUT transmission efficiency solely depends upon the membrane material utilized. This work presents the structural examination of receiving and transmitting characteristics of CMUT with divergent membrane materials, namely Silicon (Si), Silicon Nitride ( Si 3 N 4 {\mathrm{Si}_{3}}{\text{N}_{4}} ), Indium Phosphide (InP), Zinc Oxide (ZnO), and Polysilicon (Poly-Si). The analysis includes the membrane deflection, pull-in voltage, output pressure, resonant frequency and capacitance modification with variable DC voltage. It has been found that InP gives the pull-in voltage comparable to Si in the receiving mode and have more transduction efficiency in transmitting mode. Effect of dimensions of CMUT on pull-in voltage and resonant frequency are also discussed. The major contribution lies in the analytical and estimation study of CMUT for appropriate membrane material selection meant for transmission and reception in the field of pressure sensing application.

In the investigation of the molecular organization of cell membranes it is often supposed that lipid molecules are arranged in a bimolecular film. X-ray diffraction data obtained in a direction perpendicular to the plane of suitably layered membrane systems have generally been interpreted in accord with such a model of the membrane structure. The present studies were begun in order to determine whether selected area electron diffraction would provide a tool of sufficient sensitivity to permit investigation of the degree of intermolecular order within lipid films. The ultimate objective would then be to apply the method to single fragments of cell membrane material in order to obtain data complementary to the transverse data obtainable by x-ray diffraction.

We are gathering evidences which indicate ultrastructural variations and chemical heterogeneity of certain glycocalyces as well as hormone dependence of some of them. Thus, in the lumenal glycocalyx of renal collecting tubules of the guinea-pig granular and filamentous structures were seen (1, fig. 1). By isolation, chemical analysis and cellulose acetate electrophoresis in various buffers of tubular membrane material, glycopeptides and glycosaminoglycans were identified (fig. 2).Guinea-pig and rat transitional epithelium of urinary tract showed a filamentous lumenal glycocalyx demonstrable with ruthenium red (fig. 3) but which only in part stained with concanavalin A. Chemical and electrophoretic data indicated that urothelium contains glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans and glycolipids.The glycocalyx of the fat globule membrane of milk of several species has a granular appearance as shown by cationic dyes and by concanavalin A (2, 3, fig. 4 and 5). Also, several glycoproteins were isolated and identified on polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis (fig. 6). Glycosaminoglycans and certain glycolipids such as sulfatides were chemically identified in this glycocalyx.
