In this paper, the design and investigation of an innovative force sensor, based on the Villari effect, is presented. The sensor was built from electrical steel, in a pressductor pattern, but working in bending load mode. The results of the experimental research allowed for the evaluation of transducer’s performance, mitigation of measurement hysteresis, and optimization of its functional parameters. Several issues have been examined, among them the selection of supply and measured signals, the measured values’ impact on measurement hysteresis, harmonic analysis, and the selection of proper current waveforms and frequencies. The proposed sensor is robust, made from inexpensive materials, and has high sensitivity, as compared to other magnetoelastic sensors. It has much higher stress sensitivity than other magnetoelastic sensors due to deformation mode. Based on the tests, its measuring range can be defined as 0.5–5 N with a near-linear characteristic, SNR of 46 dB, and 0.11 N uncertainty.

AbstractOver the last decade Galactic planetary nebula discoveries have entered a golden age due to the emergence of high sensitivity, high resolution narrow-band surveys of the Galactic plane. These have been coupled with access to complimentary, deep, multi-wavelength surveys across near-IR, mid-IR and radio regimes in particular from both ground-based and space-based telescopes. These have provided powerful diagnostic and discovery capabilities. In this review these advances are put in the context of what has gone before, what we are uncovering now and through the window of opportunity that awaits in the future. The astrophysical potential of this brief but key phase of late stage stellar evolution is finally being realised.

In this paper, we propose a flexible robotic electronic skin (e-skin) with high sensitivity sensor arrays. The sensor arrays are designed and fabricated on thin flexible silicone film. It uses piezo-resistive material Samarian Monosulphide and graphite rods for interconnection between the layers. Along with the pressure sensing capability of SmS, temperature and humidity sensors are also integrated in the silicone layers along with photovoltaic thin layer cells that provide energy independence to the module. The data procured from the e-skin is transferred to the analog to digital converter unit and further, to the PC through USB interface for analysis.

Emission-line and K-coronal observations in the IR have the significant advantage of reduced sky brightness compared with the visible, while the effects of seeing are also reduced. Moreover, strong lines are available in the near-IR. Examples of the current capabilities of IR coronal observations using conventional Lyot coronagraphs are discussed briefly. Photometric measurements using the two IR lines of Fe XIII (10,747 Å and 10,798 Å), together with the Fe XIII 3,388 Å line, have provided a valuable electron-density diagnostic, but with low-angular-resolution. The 10,747 Å line has high intrinsic polarization. It has been used for extensive coronal magnetic field measurements, but only the direction of the field, and that with modest angular resolution, has been achieved due basically to flux limitations. Such studies suffer from the lack of high angular resolution and high photon flux. Moreover, the chromatic properties of a singlet objective lens preclude simultaneous observations at widely-differing wavelengths of the important inner coronal region. A coronagraph based on a mirror objective avoids such problems. Further, comparatively high-resolution and high-sensitivity arrays are now available with quantum efficiencies up to 90%. Reflecting coronagraphs with advanced arrays then provide the possibility of obtaining high-resolution images in the infrared to carry out a wide variety of studies crucial to many of the outstanding problems in coronal physics. A program for the development of reflecting coronagraphs is described briefly, with an emphasis on applications to IR coronal studies.
