This paper describes the engineering and development of a process to electrically and mechanically bond a large area, backlit charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor to a metallized substrate, using a materials system compatible with a high vacuum tube configuration. The CCD sensor is used in light sensor and digital camera devices. Currently, CCD devices are mechanically bonded to substrates using ...

This thesis describes the analysis of lower automobile suspension arm using stochastic design improvement technique. The suspension system is one of the most important components of vehicle, which directly affects the safety, performance, noise level and style of it. The objectives of this study are to characterise the dynamic behavior, to investigate the influencing factors of lower suspension...

In mammals, chewing cycle duration (CCD) increases with various measures of size, scaling with body mass(0.13-0.28) and jaw length(0.55). Proposed explanations for these scaling relationships include the allometry of body size, basal metabolic rate and tooth size, on the one hand, and pendular mechanics treating the jaw as a gravity-driven pendulum, on the other. Little is known, however, about...

We demonstrate a compact transform spectrometer based on measuring the periodicity of Talbot self-images. The system has no moving parts; it contains only a tilted absorption grating that is imaged onto a CCD camera. The linear architecture of the system makes it possible to use this design in imaging arrays of spectrometers. Unlike other transform spectrometers, its resolution is independent o...

Spectrometers have a wide range of applications ranging from optical to non-optical spectroscopy. The need for compact, portable, and user-friendly spectrometers has been focus attention small laboratories the industrial scale. Here, Czerny Turner configuration-based spectrometer simulation design was carried out using ZEMAX OpticStudio. A compact low-cost in visible developed by diffraction gr...

Osmotic dehydration is an important phase in the production of dried products, including most fruits and vegetables, food industry. The drying process for candied fruit produces a liquid waste called “spent osmotic solution”, which characterized by high content organic compounds, mostly dissolved sugars. sugar this by-product could be valorized through growth biomass with added value. In study,...

To clarify the optimal cumulative cisplatin dose (CCD) in locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngel carcinoma (NPC) patients receiving induction chemotherapy (IC) plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Using the NPC-specific database from the established big-data intelligence platform at Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center, 583 non-disseminated, locoregionally-advanced NPC patients receiving IC...

During 1996, the SLD collaboration completed construction and began operation of a new charge-coupled device (CCD) vertex detector (VXD3). Since then, its performance has been studied in detail and a new topological vertexing technique has been developed. In this paper, we discuss the design of VXD3, procedures for aligning it, and the tracking and vertexing improvements that have led to its wo...
