Vacuum-driven Dry Assembly of Electrostatically Levitated Microspheres on Perforated Devices Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Here, we propose a novel dry assembly method that is automatable and improves the speed, versatility, and robustness of the current methods for assembling two-dimensional (2D) arrays comprising microspheres on perforated silicon devices. The microspheres are first electrostatically levitated and instantaneously captured on the through-pores of the device by applying a vacuum force. Owing to the reversible nature of the arresting vacuum force, ...
Vacuum-driven assembly of electrostatically levitated microspheres on perforated surfaces Vrije Universiteit Brussel
At the onset of a miniaturized device era, several promising methods, primarily wet methods, have been developed to attain large-scale assemblies of microparticles. To improve the speed, versatility and robustness of the current methods for the structured assembly of microparticles, an automatable method capable of forming 2D arrays of microspheres on large silicon surfaces is devised. The method uses surfaces perforated with vacuum-suction ...
RAPID VACUUM-DRIVEN ASSEMBLY OF DISPERSED MICROSPHERES ON THE SURFACE OF (NON-) PROFILED PERFORATED DEVICES Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Here, we propose a universal technique to firmly capture dispersed microparticles on any desired two-dimensional array of through-pores on a surface. The 10 μm silica or polystyrene particles are reversibly captured, making them accessible for direct manipulation and inspection or subsequent transfer to other surfaces. To obtain perfect arrays with a pitch of 1.25 μm, perforated devices with profiled surfaces were required. Additionally, the ...

Robotic surgery for perforated diverticulitis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Diverticulitis complicated by diffuse purulent or fecal peritonitis should be treated surgically. This treatment usually consists of a sigmoid colon resection with or without primary anastomosis, depending on the general condition of the patient and the quality of the tissue. Technical difficulties arise when this type of surgery is approached laparoscopically, leading to a high percentage of patients undergoing upfront open surgery or being ...
