LENS Operating Experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Indiana University is operating a Low Energy Neutron Source which provides cold neutrons for material research and neutron physics and MeV energy for the neutron radiation effects studies. Neutrons are being produced by a 13 MeV proton beam incident on a Beryllium target. The LENS Proton Delivery System (PDS) is routinely operating at 13 MeV and 25 mA at 1.8% duty factor. The RF system, consisting of three Litton 5773 klystron RF tubes at 425 MHz and 1 MW each, power the AccSys Technology PL-13 LINAC. The proton beam delivers up to 6 kilowatts of power to the Beryllium target. Details of the beam spreading system, target cooling system, and accelerator operations will be discussed. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

PCR analysis for assessment of bacterial bioburden in orthokeratology lens cases
PURPOSE To develop a PCR gel analysis method for assessing the bacterial bioburden in orthokeratology contact lens (OK) case fluid determined by culture. METHODS A prospective study with the participation of 41 OK wearers (20 girls, 21 boys) was performed. The mean OK-wearing experience was 3.5±1.9 years. PCR was used to assess the bacterial bioburden (colony-forming units per milliliter) of ...
متن کاملLiquid crystal lens with large focal length tunability and low operating voltage.
We demonstrate a tunable focus liquid crystal (LC) lens by sandwiching a homogeneous LC layer between a planar electrode and a curved electrode. The curved electrode which is made of conductive polymer has parabolic shape with a large apex distance. Such design dramatically reduces the phase loss which leads to a short focal length (~15 cm). By using a thin top glass substrate on the curved ele...
متن کاملAdaptive liquid lens actuated by liquid crystal pistons.
An adaptive liquid lens actuated by liquid crystal (LC) pistons is demonstrated. It adopts fluid pressure introduced by the reciprocating movement of LC droplets to regulate the liquid-air interface which, in turn, changes the optical power of the resultant liquid lens. The competitive features are compact size, simple fabrication, good optical performance, reasonably fast response time and low...

متن کامل[Cataract surgery].
EXTRACTION of the opaque intra-ocular lens has always been a favourite and important eye operation. The dexterity and the instruments needed for the removal of the cataractous lens have attracted the interest of ophthalmologists and have called forth a vast literature on the various methods of miraculously restoring the power of sight to the blind.' Operating Chair.-One of the fundamental condi...
