Scanning Electron

The environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) has evolved as the natural extension of the scanning electron microscope (SEM), both historically and technologically. ESEM allows the introduction of a gaseous environment in the specimen chamber, whereas SEM operates in vacuum. One of the detection systems in ESEM, namely, the gaseous detection device (GDD) is based on the presence of gas as a detection medium. This might be interpreted as a necessary condition for the ESEM to remain operational and, hence, one might have to change instruments for operation at low or high vacuum. Initially, we may maintain the presence of a conventional secondary electron (E-T) detector in a "stand-by" position to switch on when the vacuum becomes satisfactory for its operation. However, the "rough" or "low vacuum" range of pressure may still be considered as inaccessible by both the GDD and the E-T detector, because the former has presumably very small gain and the latter still breaks down.

Improved Performance

Designing robust active queue management subjected to network imperfections is a challenging problem. Motivated by this topic, we addressed the problem of controller design for linear systems with variable delay and unsymmetrical constraints by the scaled small gain theorem. We designed two mechanisms: robust enhanced proportional derivative; and robust enhanced proportional derivative subjected to input saturation. Discussion of their practical implementations along with extensive comparisons by MATLAB and NS3 illustrate the improved performance and the enlargement of the domain of attraction regarding some literature results.
