This paper presents the fabrication of microlenses for integration on a stereoscopic image sensor in CMOS technology and a low-cost technology for fabricating optical filters arrays tuned for the primary colors. The material selected for fabricating the microlens was the AZ4562 positive photoresist and the fabrication process explained. Moreover, the fabrication process presented in this paper is for directly p...

This paper presents a implantable wireless microsystem concept for operation in the 433 MHz ISM band. The proposed microsystem is composed by two independent subsystems: the electrostimulation and the radio frequency (RF) subsystems. The electrostimulation part is a silicon box with groves to pass the nerves to be stimulated. The cover of the silicon box contains electrodes for electrical contacting with the ne...
This paper presents a thermoelectric (TE) generator and a solid-state battery for powering microsystems. Prototypes of TE generators were fabricated and characterized. The TE generator is a planar microstructure based on thin films of n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) and p-type antimony telluride (Sb2Te3), which were deposited using co-evaporation. The measurements on selected samples of Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 thin...
The aim of this work is to present a preliminary study for the use of ceramic materials in packaging of natural mineral waters. Handmade ceramic bottles were produced from faience paste and tested for the influence of different glazing areas on the tightness of the ceramic bottles and in physic-chemical stability of bottled natural mineral water during storage (8 days, 15º C). Three ceramic bottles were totally...
Prion-like Doppel gene (PRND) is located downstream from priori protein gene (PRNP). Doppel protein is not related to prion disease but to male fertility. Our previous analysis of PRND coding region in 460 animals from 8 Portuguese sheep breeds, by multiple restriction fragment-single strand conformation polymorphism (MRFSSCP), revealed a synonymous substitution (78G>A). An association was found between identif...
Acute gastroenteritis caused by viruses is one of the leading causes of infantile morbidity. The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of human caliciviruses of the genera norovirus and sapovirus in children up to 3 years of age with acute gastroenteritis from low-income communities in the city of Salvador, Brazil. This study is an extension of previous work carried out to establish the profi...
O presente estudo pretende avaliar a qualidade microbiológica do ar ambiente de unidades de restauração pública e verificar se as condições existentes obedecem aos valores recomendados pela American Public Health Association (APHA). Foram avaliados os microrganismos mesófilos aeróbios e bolores/leveduras de três unidades de restauração(A, B e C), através da técnica de sedimentação simples, nos seguintes locais:...

No estudo das colisões, os conceitos de secção eficaz e coeficiente de restituição são bem conhecidos; no entanto, muito raramente eles são aplicados no mesmo contexto. Neste trabalho usa-se o coeficiente de restituição para obter a secção eficaz diferencial de uma colisão inelástica entre duas esferas. Conclui-se que a descrição envolve um único parâmetro, e confirma-se por integração directa o valor da secção...
