[Laser Institute of America ICALEO?? 2016: 35th International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - San Diego, California, USA (October 16a??20, 2016)] International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - Investigation of ablation characteristics for microrobotic materials using laser machining
摘要： Microrobotic devices have been widely investigated as promising alternatives to conventional biomedical technologies. By utilizing magnetic materials, microrobotic devices can be wirelessly manipulated by external magnetic fields without the use of additional power transfer units or batteries. Thus, the overall structures of the microrobotic devices can be effectively minimized to be applied for the human body. To manipulate the devices, various methods such as a magnetic force-based pulling method, cilia-like beating method, and helical propulsion method have been proposed. Conventional helical microrobotic devices have generally been manufactured by using three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies. These technologies are useful when manufacturing spatially complex structures such as the helical structures. However, due to the limitations of the extrusion and lamination processes, microrobotic devices can be constructed with low degree of precision and can have poor surface roughness under the 3D printing technologies. This may cause undesirable damages to the human body tissues. Furthermore, 3D printing requires long processing time due to post-processing to remove unwanted body parts. To improve surface quality and shorten processing time, this research uses laser machining technology. Before directly applying to fabricate helical microrobotic devices, laser ablation characteristics on Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), which is a common material used for 3D printing, are investigated.

What Color Does the Consumer See? Perceived Color Differences in Plastic Products in an LED-Lit Environment
摘要： To attract customers and increase market opportunities, retailers frequently use lighting to highlight the color of their products. However, di?erences between perceived and actual color, triggered by display lighting, can motivate buyers to discard products after purchase. Few studies have been reported on di?erences in perceived color, caused by LEDs. This study focuses on two correlated color temperatures (2800 K, 4000 K) and illuminance levels (500 lx, 1500 lx) to create four LED-lit environments, and measures the di?erences in the color perceived by 20 observers on acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) plastics, with di?erent surfaces, under these four environments. The results reveal that correlated color temperature results in larger perceived di?erences in color than illuminance, and the e?ects of LED light sources on green and yellow ABS plastic products are more obvious than their e?ects on red and blue products. One possible reason for this can be attributed to the visual sensitivity e?ect of human eyes. The results of this study can serve as a reference for designers fabricating ABS plastic products for practical lighting applications, and improving the role of LED lighting in sustainable development.
