Brookhaven is undertaking the design, construction and commissioning of the accumulator ring and the beam transport lines for the 1-GeV Spallation Neutron Source. The operating pressure of the accumulator ring vacuum system will be 10 Torr and is needed to minimize the beam-residual gas ionization. The vacuum requirement, the layout of the ring vacuum system, and the design of the vacuum chambe...

The present work was carried out to study the effect of vacuum packaging and pomegranate peel extract (PE) treatments on the quality of pacific white shrimp (Peneous vannamei) during refrigerated storage. Changes in pH, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine (TMA), aerobic plate counts, psychrophilic, lactic acid bacteria and enterobacteriaceae counts, m...

Wunderlich, Kaufman, and Smith 2 routing after a finite and usually small number of iterations. An empirical case study based on the roadway network in Troy, Michigan is included. * This research was supported in part by the University of Michigan ITS Research Center of Excellen Wunderlich, Kaufman, and Smith

In this paper the voltage/current characteristics and the effect of NO2 gas on the electrical conductivity of a PbPc gas sensor array is studied. The gas sensor is manufactured using vacuum deposition of gold electrodes on sapphire substrate with the lead-phathalocyanine vacuum sublimed on the top of the gold electrodes. In a comparison between two versions of the PbPc gas sensor array, it was ...

The vacuum cup grippers operate using Bernoulli Principle for generating high-speed flow between the vacuum cup and product surface thereby creating vacuum which lifted the product. Feasibility observations are studied to demonstrate and obtain an overall understanding on the capability and limitations of the vacuum cup gripper. Most of the robot grippers are not easily applicable due to the fo...
