Abstract The dynamic error of devices belongs to the number of errors that are difficult to estimate. The mechanism for forming this error on the example of torsional torque dynamometersis briefly considered as the most common in the practice of research on the energy of agricultural machines. The limiting ratios of frequencies of external influences and natural vibrations of strain-measuring devices are given. Recommendations are made to reduce dynamic error in torque strain analysis. The present review and the accumulated experience of strain gauge research allows us to recommend some directions for reducing dynamic errors in torque measurements. In order for a strain gauge to keep up with changes in torque in its inertial characteristics, it must have the smallest torque inertia. In order to reduce the probability of high-frequency harmonics from the elastic vibrations of the strain gauge, it must be sufficiently rigid. From this point of view, strain rods, strain sprockets, etc., having a moment of inertia greater than that of the same gear parts, are irrational. Based on modern micromodules and power supplies, the system can have a small mass and have no significant effect on the inertial characteristic of the strain gauge.

Tool materials used in ultramicrotomy are glass, developed by Latta and Hartmann (1) and diamond, introduced by Fernandez-Moran (2). While diamonds produce more good sections per knife edge than glass, they are expensive; require careful mounting and handling; and are time consuming to clean before and after usage, purchase from vendors (3-6 months waiting time), and regrind. Glass offers an easily accessible, inexpensive material ($0.04 per knife) with very high compressive strength (3) that can be employed in microtomy of metals (4) as well as biological materials. When the orthogonal machining process is being studied, glass offers additional advantages. Sections of metal or plastic can be dried down on the rake face, coated with Au-Pd, and examined directly in the SEM with no additional handling (5). Figure 1 shows aluminum chips microtomed with a 75° glass knife at a cutting speed of 1 mm/sec with a depth of cut of 1000 Å lying on the rake face of the knife.

Successful retrieval of the television camera and other components from the Surveyor III spacecraft by the Apollo 12 astronauts has provided a unique opportunity to study the effects of a known and relatively extensive exposure to the lunar environment. Microstructural effects including those produced by micro-meteorite impact, radiation damage (by both the solar wind and cosmic rays) and solar heating might be expected in the materials used to fabricate the spacecraft. Samples received were in the form of 1 cm2 of painted unpainted aluminum alloy sheet from the top of the camera visor (JPL Code 933) and the sides (935,936) and bottom (934) of the lower camera shroud. They were prepared for transmission electron microscopy by first hand-grinding with abrasive paper to a thickness of 0.006". The edges were lacquered and the sample electropolished in 10% perchloric methanol using the “window” method, to a thickness of ~0.001". Final thinning was accomplished by polishing 3 mm punched disks in an acetic-phosphoric-nitric acid solution.

Oriented overgrowth of polymer materials onto ionic crystals is well known and recently it was demonstrated that this epitaxial crystallisation can also occur in polymer/polymer systems, under certain conditions. The morphologies and the resulting physical properties of such systems will be presented, especially the influence of epitaxial interfaces on the adhesion of polymer laminates and the mechanical properties of epitaxially crystallized sandwiched layers.Materials used were polyethylene, PE, Lupolen 6021 DX (HDPE) and 1810 D (LDPE) from BASF AG; polypropylene, PP, (PPN) provided by Höchst AG and polybutene-1, PB-1, Vestolen BT from Chemische Werke Hüls. Thin oriented films were prepared according to the method of Petermann and Gohil, by winding up two different polymer films from two separately heated glass-plates simultaneously with the help of a motor driven cylinder. One double layer was used for TEM investigations, while about 1000 sandwiched layers were taken for mechanical tests.

Zusammenfassung Ziel: Überprüfung der Korrelation der photooptischen Venenfunktionstests Lichtreflexionsrheographie (LRR), digitale Photoplethysmographie (DPPG) und der Quecksilberdehnungsstreifen- Plethysmographie (Hg-strain gauge) mit der Phlebodynamometrie (PDM). Methode: Die simultane Messung von LRR, DPPG, Hg-strain gauge und PDM wurde an 34 Patienten mit chronischer venöser Insuffizienz in den klinischen Stadien I bis III nach Widmer an insgesamt 39 Unterschenkeln vorgenommen. Die Messungen erfolgten während Dorsalextension des Fußes in sitzender und während Plantarflexion des Fußes in stehender Position. Als Parameter für die Ermittlung des Korrelationskoeffizienten wurden die Wiederauffüllzeiten t0 und t1/2 sowie die venöse Abpumpleistung ermittelt. Ergebnisse: Unabhängig von Körperposition und Anlage von Tourniquets erreichten die Korrelationen für alle Messverfahren und Parameter Werte zwischen r = 0,76 (t0 LRR) und r = 0,05 (Abpumpleistung DPPG automatische Auswertung). Eine gute Korrelation von t0 wurde in stehender Körperposition unabhängig von der Anlage der Tourniquets beim Hg-strain gauge (r = 0,49) und LRR (r = 0,51) erreicht. Diese Korrelation verbesserte sich in sitzender Körperposition. Die schlechteste Korrelation wurde bei der DPPG ermittelt (r = 0,25 in stehender, r = 0,51 in sitzender Position). Eine Verbesserung der Korrelation wurde beim DPPG durch die manuelle Auswertung der Kurven erreicht. Schlussfolgerung: Sowohl die Wahl des Untersuchungsverfahrens wie auch das gewählte Belastungsprogramm können erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die Korrelation mit der PDM haben. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass bei der Bewertung der Wiederauffüllzeiten t0 und t1/2 der Hg-strain gauge und die LRR die höchste Korrelation bei Dorsalextension in sitzender Körperposition mit der PDM aufweisen.

SummaryDoppler ultrasound flow examination, strain gauge plethysmography and contrast venography were performed in 160 lower limbs of 80 in-patients. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was suspected in 87 limbs. Using measurement of venous stop-flow pressure, the Doppler method had an overall sensitivity of 83%. By combined use of Doppler and Plethysmography, sensitivity was increased to 96%. Specificity was 62% and 51%, respectively. With a positive and a negative predictive value of 80% and 73%, respectively, the combination of both non-invasive methods cannot reliably replace venography in the diagnosis of DTV, although all (40/40) thromboses proximal to or involving the popliteal segment were detected by either Doppler and Plethysmography or both.After exclusion of 14 patients (18%) suffering from conditions known to alter the results of these non-invasive methods, the positive predictive value of abnormal findings in both Doppler and Plethysmography was increased to 94% for suspected limbs, whilst negative predictive value of both negative Doppler and Plethysmography was 90%, allowing the avoidance of venography in these patients.
