Thermal Behavior of an Ultra High-Precision Linear Axis Operating in Industrial Environment

Thermal expansion is the major source of inaccuracy for ultra high-precision robots. In this paper we propose a strategy to model and compensate this effect. The experiment is run using a 1 DOF (degree-of-freedom) parallel robot equipped with ten temperatu ...

MOEMS thermal imaging camera

Muhammed Fatih Toy, Onur Ferhanoglu

A novel thermo-mechanical Infrared (IR) imaging array with integrated diffraction gratings for optical readout was fabricated and tested. Parylene was used as a structural material for its low thermal conductivity and high thermal expansion properties. Tes ...

High performance low-firing temperature thick-film pressure sensors on steel

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Giancarlo Corradini, Niklaus Johner

Performance of piezoresistive thick-film pressure sensors on steel substrates is hindered by the high required firing temperatures of the layers, which cause degradation of the substrate mechanical properties. Special steels or alloys that are relatively u ...

Study of the impact of high-voltage trimming on several characteristics of model TFRs and their stability

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Niklaus Johner

In this work we study in more details the impact of voltage trimming on different characteristics of model thick-film resistors (TFRs). Two series of RuO2-based TFRs with different conducting grain sizes are studied. As the composition of model pastes is c ...

Nanocrystalline Dye-sensitized Solar Cells Having Maximum Performance

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Paul Liska, Ravindranathan Thampi

This paper presents an overview of the research carried out by a European consortium with the aim to develop and test new and improved ways to realise dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) with enhanced efficiencies and stabilities. Several new areas have been ...

Influence of the mould thermal expansion on composite stress build-up during curing

Véronique Michaud, Sébastien Lavanchy

The influence of the mould material on the build-up of internal stresses during autoclave cure of a unidirectional carbon fibre composite material was investigated using embedded optical fibre Bragg gratings. Four flat moulds (i.e. aluminium, steel, carbon ...

Time-Resolved Photodynamics of Triangular-Shaped Silver Nanoplates

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Callegari, Camilla Bonati, Luigi Bonacina

The authors measured the ultrafast response of triangular silver nanoparticles upon femtosecond excitation of their plasmon resonance. After a fast electron relaxation, the signature of a bimodal mech. vibration of the particle is apparent as a spectral mo ...

Integrated thick-film hybrid microelectronics applied on different material substrates

Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Hansu Birol

In this work, we have modified a low-temperature thick-film system previously developed for aluminium and aluminium alloy substrates in order to adapt it to ferritic and austenitic stainless steel, and glass substrates, which, unlike the common alumina sub ...

Effect of conduit material on CiCC performance under high cycling loads

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche

Recent International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Model Coils and tests on Nb-3 So Cable in Conduit Conductors (CICC) showed a significant and unexpected increase in the broadness of the transition to the normal state, resulting in degradation ...
