Design, Fabrication and Testing of a Polymer Composite Based Hard-Magnetic Mirror for Biomedical Scanning Applications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this work, we combine the advantages of hard magnets, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micro-molding and printed circuit board planar coils to propose an electromagnetically actuated bidirectional scanner with potential applications in bio-medical scanning. The proposed bidirectional scanner (4 mm × 4 mm × 250 μm) is fabricated by micromolding an isotropic Nd-Fe-B micropowder (MQFP-12-5) doped in a PDMS matrix at 80% weight percentage and magnetized using a standard dipole electromagnet. A reflective gold layer of 100 nm is evaporated onto the polymer composite structure. A maximum magnetic field of 20 mT is measured for the polymer magnetic mirror. Rectangular planar coils (trace width and spacing: 254 μm; 10 turns) are employed to actuate the bidirectional scanner electromagnetically by Lorentz force. Actuation in both static and dynamic excitation modes is tested. Power consumption at a maximum rotational angle (15 degrees – optical) is one watt at 40 Hz resonant frequency. Initial surface roughness of the mirror (165 nm) and radius of curvature (75 mm) has been addressed by depositing a thin layer of PDMS, resulting in 66.24 nm surface roughness and 321.37 mm overall radius of curvature after integration. Major advantages of the proposed bidirectional scanner include low fabrication cost, low input voltage and large actuator displacement compared to existing electrostatic scanners.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
