Grain Size Control

The intermetallic compound Nb3Sn is a type-II superconductor of interest because it has high values of critical current density Jc in high magnetic fields. One method of forming this compound involves diffusion of Sn into Nb foil containing small amounts of Zr and O. In order to maintain high values of Jc, it is important to keep the grain size in the Nb3Sn as small as possible, since the grain boundaries act as flux-pinning sites. It has been known for many years that Zr and O were essential to grain size control in this process. In previous work, we have shown that (a) the Sn is transported to the Nb3Sn/Nb interface by liquid diffusion along grain boundaries; (b) the Zr and O form small ZrO2 particles in the Nb3Sn grains; and (c) many very small Nb3Sn grains nucleate from a single Nb grain at the reaction interface. In this paper we report the results of detailed studies of the Nb3Sn/Nb3Sn, Nb3Sn/Nb, and Nb3Sn/ZrO2 interfaces.

Intensity Image

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-mounted mobile LiDAR system (ULS) is widely used for geomatics owing to its efficient data acquisition and convenient operation. However, due to limited carrying capacity of a UAV, sensors integrated in the ULS should be small and lightweight, which results in decrease in the density of the collected scanning points. This affects registration between image data and point cloud data. To address this issue, the authors propose a method for registering and fusing ULS sequence images and laser point clouds, wherein they convert the problem of registering point cloud data and image data into a problem of matching feature points between the two images. First, a point cloud is selected to produce an intensity image. Subsequently, the corresponding feature points of the intensity image and the optical image are matched, and exterior orientation parameters are solved using a collinear equation based on image position and orientation. Finally, the sequence images are fused with the laser point cloud, based on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) time index of the optical image, to generate a true color point cloud. The experimental results show the higher registration accuracy and fusion speed of the proposed method, thereby demonstrating its accuracy and effectiveness.

Abstract High resolution optical imaging is critical in assisting backside circuit edit (CE) and optical probing navigation. In this paper, we demonstrated improved optical image quality using VIS-NIR narrow band light emitting diode (LED) illumination in various FIB and optical probing platforms. The proof of concept was demonstrated with both common non-contact air gap lenses and solid immersion lenses (SIL).

Complete Processing

Methods and algorithms for the complete processing of a post-detector low-contrast optical image (OI) of an unknown remote object obtained by ground-based optical means of observation under conditions of a complex background situation are considered. The purpose of processing is to separate and interpret at least with the help of the analyst, of the main constructive elements using the integrated indicators introduced in [6] and the characteristics of the analyzed OI, which are connected by the information, topological and metric structures of the OI. The stages of processing the OI include extracting the image-containing information object of the image portion (detection) and filtration of the OI, using recursive rank filtering. The final stages of processing include the segmentation of the OI and the allocation on it constructive elements using the apparatus of graph theory. An example of image processing of a Spot-5 spacecraft obtained in real conditions is given. It is shown that in this case at the detection stage it is possible to reduce the volume of information processed at subsequent stages by 8 times, in the filtration process to increase the compactness of the OI and to increase its connectivity in comparison with the post-detection OI. As a result of segmentation and allocation of constructive elements, three structural elements that can be interpreted as a spacecraft case and two remote panels can be identified with the analyst’s participation.

AbstractIonically conducting materials containing PEO were prepared from telechelic di(methyl-diethoxy-silane) PEO, synthesized by the hydrosilylation of telechelic diallyl-PEO with methyldiethoxysilane. The network is obtained by the usual sol-gel chemistry. Then, it is filled with LiClO4 by diffusion of the salt and further drying. A comparison is made with the same kind of materials crosslinked using urethane chemistry. Diffusion studies show that the diffusion coefficient of solvent is similar for both types of materials, whilst the ionic conductivity is higher for the networks crosslinked with siloxane bonds. An experiment of diffusion of LiClO4 without solvent showed that this salt has a diffusion coefficient of the order of 2.10-8 cm2.sec-1 at 34°C. The conductivity calculated from this determination is compatible with the mechanism of lithium cation transport by the diffusion of salt molecules. Elasticity modulus measurements show that the salt aggregates are essentially located within the crosslinks at low concentration, but also in the PEO chains for salt concentrations higher than 1 mol/l.
