sciforum-042716	Low-Frequency Magnetic Localization of Capsule Endoscopes with an Integrated Coil Samuel Zeising , Rebecca Seidl , Angelika Thalmayer , Georg Fischer , Jens Kirchner Submitted: 11 Jan 2021 Abstract: Show Abstract	Samuel Zeising , Rebecca Seidl , Angelika Thalmayer , Georg Fischer , Jens Kirchner	N/A		Show Abstract
Wireless capsule endoscopy is a promising and less invasive alternative to conventional endoscopy. A patient swallows a small capsule with an integrated camera to capture a video of the gastrointestinal tract. For accurate diagnosis and therapy, the capsule position in terms of the travelled distance must be known for each video frame. However, up to now, there is no reliable localization method for endoscopy capsules. In this paper, a novel magnetic localization method is proposed. A coil as a magnetic field source is integrated into a capsule and fed with a low-frequency alternating current to prevent static geomagnetic field interference. This alternating magnetic field is measured by twelve magnetic sensors arranged in rings around the abdomen. The coil and the capsule batteries were designed based on the geometry and power supply of a commercially available endoscopy capsule and simulated by COMSOL Multiphysics software. In this way, the coil position and orientation were determined with an accuracy below 1 mm and 1°, respectively. As an analytic model for the magnetic flux density of the coil in that setup, a modified dipole model was derived. It was used to show that the batteries help to increase the amplitude of the magnetic flux density. The model is valid when signals below 100 Hz are applied, and no eddy currents are generated within the batteries. It is concluded that the magnetic flux density generated by the developed coil would be measurable with state-of-the-art magnetic sensors.
sciforum-031735	Hafnium Zirconium Oxide Thin Films for CMOS Compatible Pyroelectric Infrared Sensors Clemens Mart , Malte Czernohorsky , Kati Kühnel , Wenke Weinreich Submitted: 15 Mar 2020 Abstract: Show Abstract	Clemens Mart , Malte Czernohorsky , Kati Kühnel , Wenke Weinreich	N/A		Show Abstract
Pyroelectric infrared sensors are often based on lead-containing materials, which are harmful to the environment and subject of governmental restrictions. Ferroelectric Hf_1−xZr_xO₂ thin films offer an environmentally friendly alternative. Additionally, CMOS integration allows for integrated sensor circuits, allowing for scalable and cost-effective applications. In this work, we demonstrate the deposition of pyroelectric thin films on area-enhanced structured substrates via thermal atomic layer deposition. Scanning electron microscopy indicates a conformal deposition of the pyroelectric film in the holes with a diameter of 500 nm and a depth of 8 μm. By using TiN electrodes and photolithography, capacitor structures are formed, which are contacted via the electrically conductive substrate. Ferroelectric hysteresis measurements indicate sizable remanent polarization of up to 331 μC cm⁻², which corresponds to an area increase of up to 15 by the nanostructured substrate. For pyroelectric analysis, a sinusoidal temperature oscillation is applied to the sample. Simultaneously, the pyroelectric current is monitored. By assessing the phase of the measured current profile, the pyroelectric origin of the signal is confirmed. The devices show sizable pyroelectric coefficients of −475 μC m⁻² K⁻¹, which is larger than that of lead zirconate titanate (PZT). Based on the experimental evidence, we propose Hf_1−xZr_xO₂ as a promising material for future pyroelectric applications.
sciforum-030172	About the Amplification Factors in Organic Bioelectronic Sensors Luisa Torsi Submitted: 06 Feb 2020 Abstract: Show Abstract	Luisa Torsi	N/A	N/A	Show Abstract
Several three-terminal organic bioelectronic structures have been proposed so far to address the needs for a variety of biosensing applications. The most popular ones utlized organic field-effect transistors immobilizing a layer of bio-recognition elements that are operated in an electrolyte that enables one to selectively detect both proteins and genomic analytes. These features along with the foreseen low-cost for their production, make them very appealing for point-of-care biomedical applications. However, organic bioelectronic transistors do not always exhibit a performance level beyond state-of-the-art electrochemical sensors, which have been dominating the field since decades. This review offers a perspective view, based on a systematic comparison between the potentiometric and amperometric electrochemical sensors and their organic bioelectronic transistors counterparts. The key-relevant aspects of the sensing mechanisms are reviewed for both, and when actually in place, the amplification factors are reported as the ratio between the response of a rationally designed transistor and that of a homologous electrochemical sensor. The functional dependence of the bioelectronic sensors responses on the concentration of the species to be detected enabling their correct analytical quantification, is also addressed.
sciforum-043268	Photonic Biosensor for Label-Free Detection Based on Photonic Nanostructures on Si-Waveguide Ring Resonator Hoang Anh Truong , Yugang Shang , Shunsuke Abe , Nobuyuki Matsuda , Hirohito Yamada Submitted: 27 Jan 2021 Abstract: Show Abstract	Hoang Anh Truong , Yugang Shang , Shunsuke Abe , Nobuyuki Matsuda , Hirohito Yamada	N/A		Show Abstract
A new structure of a micro-ring resonator for label-free biosensing is proposed. The structure includes sidewall-grating Si waveguide and periodical side-blocks that can enhance the light-matter interaction. From the electromagnetic simulations, the proposed structure exhibits a four-fold improvement on the sensitivity compared with the conventional structure. Moreover, the quality factor of the proposed structure is not degraded from that of the conventional structure. The improved sensitivity is promising for the detection of nanoparticles that can be applied to the environmental field and clinical diagnostics.
sciforum-029904	Highly sensitive silicon nanowire biosensor devices for the investigation of UniCAR platform in immunotherapy Trang Anh Nguyen , Diana Sandoval Bojorquez , Arnau Roig , Bergoi Ibarlucea , Anja Feldmann , Gianaurelio Cuniberti , Michael Bachmann , Larysa Baraban Submitted: 30 Jan 2020 Abstract: Show Abstract	Trang Anh Nguyen , Diana Sandoval Bojorquez , Arnau Roig , Bergoi Ibarlucea , Anja Feldmann , Gianaurelio Cuniberti , Michael Bachmann , Larysa Baraban	N/A		Show Abstract
Although showing impressive therapeutic potential, treatments of leukemias with T-cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) is limited by their risk of several severe side effects [1,2]. To overcome these problem, a switchable CAR platform has been developed termed UniCAR [2-4]. Unlike conventional CAR which directed against tumor-associated antigens, UniCAR treatment involve an intermediate target module (TM) which can cross-link UniCAR T cells with tumor cells and lead to destruction [4]. The development of these novel TMs against different tumor targets require numerous repetitive tests on different synthesizing trials which is usually limited in quantity and time-consuming. Meanwhile, nano-biosensors are lately known as analytical tools which are highly sensitive, label-free, rapid and reagent-saving [5]. Among them, silicon nanowire (SiNW) sensor is extensively investigated by researchers over the past decades thanks to its compability with CMOS technology enabling mass production [6,7]. In this work, we demonstrated the application of previously published SiNW biosensor [8] on detection of the binding of UniCAR and a part of different TMs. The results underline advantage of SiNW sensor over ELISA method in term of ease of preparation, speed and sensitivity. The method is able to evaluate binding affinity of UniCAR to different TMs and open a potential to quantify the number of active UniCAR T-cells in in-vivo-sample in later stage. In the end, the application of nanosensor may speed up the R&D process of UniCAR concept and later play an important role in clinical monitoring of immunotherapy, especially, in the era of precision medicine.
