In the last decade, the applications of nano- and micro-technology are widely used in many fields. In the modern mobile devices, such as digital cameras, there is an increased demand to achieve fast and precise positioning for some parts such as the recording sensor. Therefore, a smart material (piezoelectric) is used to achieve this requirement. This article discusses the feed-forward control for a piezoelectric actuator using differential flatness approach. The differential flatness approach is used to calculate the required voltage to control the piezoelectric actuator movement. The control voltage will be applied to the real actuator. The simulation and experimental results are compared for the actuator. The aim of this article is to verify the feed-forward control for second eigenfrequency using the differential flatness approach for the piezoelectric actuator.

This chapter explores some of the technological elements that will greatly enhance user interaction with personal photos on mobile devices in the near future. It reviews major technological innovations that have taken place in recent years which are contributing to re-shaping people’s personal photo management behavior and thus their needs, and presents an overview of the major design issues in supporting these for mobile access. It then introduces the currently very active research area of content-based image analysis and context-awareness. These technologies are becoming an important factor in improving mobile interaction by assisting automatic annotation and organization of photos, thus reducing the chore of manual input on mobile devices. Considering the pace of the rapid increases in the number of digital photos stored on our digital cameras, camera phones and online photoware sites, the authors believe that the subsequent benefits from this line of research will become a crucial factor in helping to design efficient and satisfying mobile interfaces for personal photo management systems.

ABSTRACTFlash memories are now widely spread and conveniently used in mobile devices such as cellular phones, pagers, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), digital cameras and so on. And in the coming ubiquitous era, nonvolatile solid-state memories are expected to be more and more important for these mobile devices. However, Flash memories are not perfectly suitable for these mobile devices since their power consumptions are too high, writing speeds are two slow, programming endurances are limited up to 106 cycles. To resolve these problems, numbers of new nonvolatile solid-state memories are proposed and some of them are now under development. Among these newly emerging nonvolatile memories, FeRAMs (Ferroelectric Random Access Memories) are the only ones that are now in production. However, the process and materials to produce FeRAMs have not matured yet to support the ubiquitous technologies.In this study, we explore the process technologies and materials required for the future FeRAMs and obtained the result that the requirements can be satisfied by the known technologies at present.

The development of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) suitable for instructional purposes has created a large number of outreach opportunities for the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Department at Iowa State University. Several collaborative efforts are presently underway with local schools and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) at ISU to bring SEM technology into the classroom in a near live-time, interactive manner. The SEM laboratory is shown in Figure 1.Interactions between the laboratory and the classroom use inexpensive digital cameras and shareware called CU-SeeMe, Figure 2. Developed by Cornell University and available over the internet, CUSeeMe provides inexpensive video conferencing capabilities. The software allows video and audio signals from Quikcam™ cameras to be sent and received between computers. A reflector site has been established in the MSE department that allows eight different computers to be interconnected simultaneously. This arrangement allows us to demonstrate SEM principles in the classroom. An Apple Macintosh has been configured to allow the SEM image to be seen using CU-SeeMe.
