This article presents the design and assembly of a novel magnetically actuated endoscopic laser scanner device. The device is designed to perform 2D position control and high speed scanning of a fiber-based laser for operation in narrow workspaces. The device includes laser focusing optics to allow non-contact incisions and tablet-based control interface for intuitive teleoperation. The perform...

The product design process can be described as a number of steps taken to turn an idea into a reality. One particular design process of creating a microfluidics device was studied and analyzed. A device containing channels for fluid flow presents a number of challenges for designers. The particular device in this study had a number of specifications, which include a small scale, a necessity to ...

   Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...

This paper proposes the design and implementation of IEEE1394 device control over network. We have extended the wired connection between IEEE1394 device and computer into IP network, formerly connected with IEEE1394 interface. Implemented system could use all of the features which IEEE1394 device carries, via IP network. Using implementation on IEEE1394 device control over IP network linked wit...

the aim of this study is to provide a control software system, based on monte carlo simulation, and calculations of dosimetric parameters of standard and wedge radiation fi elds, using a monte carlo method. gate version 6.1 (opengate collaboration), was used to simulate a compact 6 mv linear accelerator system. in order to accelerate the calculations, the phase-space technique and cluster compu...

The practice of evaluating interaction with devices is embedded in disciplines such as human–computer interaction and cognitive ergonomics, including concepts such as affordances, error analysis, skill, rule and knowledge based behaviour and decision making biases. This paper considers the way in which the approach that has been routinely applied to displays and control design within the contro...

A new type detection device for the suspended flyer was developed to test the press finger and performance parameters of the flyer. The device was made up of mechanical transmission, control and signal processing part, which realized full automation of measurement by wireless transmission technology. Hybrid driven differential adjustable framework was employed in the device, so the bobbin windi...
