We present a computer-controlled hemispherical digital condenser and demonstrate that a single device can be used to implement a variety of both well established and novel optical microscopy techniques. We verified the condenser capabilities by imaging fabricated periodic patterned structures and biological samples.

The distilled water productivity of the single basin solar still is very limited. In this context, the design modification of a single basin solar still has been investigated to improve the solar still performance through increasing the productivity of distilled water. The experimental attempts are made to enhance the solar still productivity by using nanofluids and also by integrating the stil...

We present a technique for rapid capture of high quality bidirectional reflection distribution functions(BRDFs) of surface points. Our method represents the BRDF at each point by a generalized microfacet model with tabulated normal distribution function (NDF) and assumes that the BRDF is symmetrical. A compact and light-weight reflectometry apparatus is developed for capturing reflectance data ...

This paper describes the results of a proof of concept effort for development of a Nautilus Centripetal Capillary Condenser (NCCC or NC) used for microgravity compatible water recovery from moist air with integral passive phase separation. Removal of liquid condensate from the air stream exiting a condenser is readily performed here on Earth. In order to perform this function in space however, ...

Several models concemmg the senslhvlty of capaclhve pressure sensors have been presented m the past Modellmg of condenser nucrophones, which can be constdered to be a specml type of capacltlve pressure sensor, usually reqmres a more comphcated analysis of the senstttvlly, because they have a strong electnc field m the atr gap It IS found that tbe mechamcal sensltlvlty of condenser rmcrophones ~...

Switchable DNA condensers based on β-cyclodextrin derivates bearing cationic imidazolium moieties and hydrolysable ester linkages were synthesized, showing base-responsive or enzyme-responsive switchable DNA condensation ability under physiological conditions.

Many distributed energy (DE) resources are near load centers and equipped with power electronics converters to interface with the grid, therefore it is feasible for DE to provide ancillary services such as voltage regulation, nonactive power compensation, and power factor correction. A synchronous condenser and a microturbine with an inverter interface are implemented in parallel in a distribut...
