ABSTRACTInSb thin films on oxidized Si wafers have been recrystallized using a strip heater to generate and scan a narrow molten zone across the film. Grains up to 3 × 10 mm have been produced. Crystallization proceeds in a faceted cellular fashion, the excess solute (Sb) being rejected into subboundaries which often lie along low-index crystallographic directions. A InSb-Sb eutectic structure forms at the subboundaries. The width of the single-crystal InSb between subboundaries is approximately 75 μm. The techniques of planar constriction and subboundary entrainment have been extended to InSb for the selection of single grains and the orelocation of subboundaries. This technology of producing InSb thin films on oxidized Si substrates max, be extendable to other III-V materials, and could lead to novel device structures through the integration of Si and III-V compound devices on the same substrate.

This case describes how Siemens Power Corporation, a Richland, Washington, USA-based manufacturer of nuclear fuel assemblies, came to adopt and implement SAP's R/3 application suite, the world's leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) package. The case introduces the reader to the type of decision making related to an ERP adoption and implementation and provides some interesting examples of factors which may influence actual decisions and outcomes. Among other things, the case touches on the following issues: the relationship between restructuring (re-engineering) and software adoption and implementation, the choice of package software, the pros and cons of alternative implementation approaches (‘big bang’ versus ‘phased'), the selection of hardware and the value of consultants. By January 1999 Siemens Power Corporation's (SPC's) restructuring project was more than 2 years under way. To SPC's top management's great relief, the company had made major progress ever since SPC's German parent Siemens AG hired a consulting team to help SPC get back on its path towards profitability. In particular, the largest and riskiest of its individual restructuring subprojects – SPC's SAP R/3 implementation – seemed on the way to becoming a success.

Nanopore Sensors

Microfluidic system, as a kind of miniature integrated operating platform, has been applied to solid-state nanopore sensors after many years of experimental study. In the process of introducing microfluidic into solid-state nanopore sensors, many novel device structures are designed due to the abundance of analytes and the diversity of detection methods. Here we review the fundamental setup of nanopore-based microfluidic systems and the developments and advancements that have been taking place in the field. The microfluidic systems with a multichannel strategy to elevate the throughput and efficiency of nanopore sensors are then presented. Multifunctional detection represented by optical-electrical detection, which is realized by microfluidic integration, is also described. A high integration microfluidic system with nanopore is further discussed, which shows the prototype of commercialization.

The self-retaining urinary catheter is used for long-term drainage of urine from the bladder only as a last resort because of serious associated complications, yet it remains a routine method for managing older and disabled patients with loss of bladder control. Blockage of the catheter from calcified deposits within its lumen is a common occurrence, obstructing the passage of urine and causing an urgent, unpredictable problem for patients, carers and the nursing staff. The need for further research on the subject has been recognized for many years. The SuPort Project aimed to develop an alternative suprapubic urine collection system. This report outlines the approach adopted towards the design and selection of the novel device, the production problems that ensued and the small clinical trial of a modified prototype.
