ObjectiveThe objective of this program is to acquire a direct current/radio frequency (DC/RF) sputtering system to support multi-disciplinary research on medical sensors, micro power generators, miniaturized flexible tag antennas, and novel bioengineering applications and implementations in robust and energy efficient wireless body area network (WBAN) systems.Intellectual meritThe intellectual merit is to provide the basis for hardware implementation of wireless body area networks for reliable data acquisition in patient diagnosis and health monitoring scenarios. It will enhance the scope of the current research activities and training capabilities as well as help to develop a new learning environment by adding research exploration and hands-on instrumentation experience to current undergraduate and graduate curricula at New York Institute of Technology. The proposed equipment will be configured to accommodate various materials and operate as a shared facility with access given to qualified members of the research community in the Long Island area.Broader impactsThe broader impacts are to provide invaluable educational and training opportunities for students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and to be a vehicle for enabling and advancing faculty research. Using the proposed wireless body area network system, patients in a hospital or clinic setting can receive constant monitoring and care in an unobtrusive manner. Although not strictly limited to health care applications, such efforts could significantly reduce the cost of medical care. The proposed multidisciplinary research will also contribute to the recruitment of potential students, especially women, for degree programs in engineering fields.

这个项目的目标是获得一个直流/射频(DC/RF)溅射系统，以支持医学传感器、微型功率发生器、小型化柔性标签天线的多学科研究，以及在健壮和节能的无线体域网络(WBAN)系统中的新的生物工程应用和实现。它将扩大目前研究活动的范围和培训能力，并通过在纽约理工学院目前的本科生和研究生课程中增加研究探索和实践工具经验，帮助建立一个新的学习环境。拟议的设备将配置为容纳各种材料，并作为一个共享设施运行，允许长岛地区合格的研究社区成员访问。更广泛的影响是为本科生和研究生提供宝贵的教育和培训机会，并成为促进和促进教师研究的工具。使用建议的无线身体区域网络系统，医院或诊所的患者可以以不引人注目的方式接受持续的监测和护理。尽管这种努力并不严格局限于医疗保健应用，但可以显著降低医疗保健的成本。拟议的多学科研究还将有助于招收潜在的学生，特别是女性，攻读工程领域的学位课程。
