This paper investigates the transient behavior of a novel design an industrial mixer incorporating additional work head movement. In contrast to conventional models, this consists elastic torsion bar with its longitudinal axis oriented orthogonally main drive shaft axis. Using hang workhead adds degree freedom, greatly improving mixing fluids or powders. The motion electro-mechanical device was...

Abstract. An integrated plasma profile control strategy, ARTAEMIS, is being developed for extrapolating present-day advanced tokamak (AT) scenarios to steady state operation. The approach is based on semiempirical (grey-box) modeling. It was initially explored on JET, for current profile control only (D. Moreau, et al., Nucl. Fus. 48 (2008) 106001). The present paper deals with the generalizati...

BACKGROUND The patient's head can be slightly rotated sagitally vertically or transversely within the head holding device. Because of such improper positions due to the head rotation, an error can occur in cephalometric measurements. The purpose of this study was to identify the potential projection errors of lateral cephalometric radiograph due to head rotation toward X-ray film in the vertica...

Film bulk acoustic resonators (FBARs) have been evaluated for use as biosensors because of their high sensitivity and small size. This study fabricated a novel human IgE biosensor using shear-mode FBAR devices with c-axis 23°-tilted AlN thin films. Off-axis radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering method was used for deposition of c-axis 23°-tilted AlN thin films. The deposition parameters wer...

Mixing is difficult in microfluidic devices due to the low Reynolds' number. We proposed and demonstrated a surface-acoustic-wave (SAW)-based system which can control temperature by mounting heater. This device has hollow cylindrical reservoir made of resin on piezoelectric substrate (LiNbO3), solution be rotated injecting SAWs from both sides, are shifted parallel central axis reservoir. 0.75 ...

We have made various measurements on four different types of Hybrid PhotoDiodes (HPDs) with and without magnetic fields. We confirmed that all the four HPDs were operational with a magnetic field with a strength of at least 1.5T if the device axis was adjusted approximately parallel to the magnetic field direction. Origins of the gain variation in magnetic fields were also investigated. ( 1999 ...

A compact, high-power emitter of half-cycle terahertz (THz) radiation is demonstrated. The device consists of an epitaxial InAs emitter upon a GaAs prism and produces THz pulses that are 20 times more powerful than those from conventional planar InAs emitters. This improvement is a direct result of reorienting the transient THz dipole such that its axis is not perpendicular to the emitting surf...

The mechanisms underlying vertebrate left-right (L-R) axis specification have attracted much interest among developmental biologists (for review, see Burdine and Schier 2000; Capdevila et al. 2000). Of particular interest from a conceptual standpoint is the question of how L-R positional information first originates within the context of a bilaterally symmetric embryo. To achieve the consistent...
