Various approaches ranging from micro-sized air-nozzles to direct manipulation through bimetallic actuators have been proposed to displace/orient sub-millimeter sized parts for automatic assembly of homogeneous and/or heterogeneous microdevices Keeping in view the micromanipulation requirements, based on the concept of active surface, a new approach for micromanipulation has been proposed by the authors which comprises of controlled deformation of a flexible continuous surface [1]. A single actuator system has limited micropart translocation capability and multiple sequential actuators need to be used if the required translocation distance is more than the capability of an actuator. For a single actuator system, the parameters of the system and their influence on the system output (translocation distance or travel distance) have already been discussed as function of the input frequency, actuator stroke, surface roughness and deformation wavelength [2]. In a multiactuator system, the subsequent actuators engage the micropart with a finite initial velocity and at some position relative to the actuator. Therefore, a sequential array of actuators exhibits a different set of overall operational characteristics. This manuscript describes the operational characteristics of sequential actuators towards a microconveyor system over a range of actuator frequencies and other system parameters and estimates the system output i.e. the micropart distance travelled or translocation. The discussion is based on a two actuator system with the conclusions generalized for a multi-actuator system.

Measurement Noises

In measurement systems operating under various disturbances the probabilistic characteristics of measurement noises are usually known approximately. To improve the observation accuracy, a new approach to the Kalman’s filter adaptation is proposed. In this approach, the Covariance Matrix of Measurement Noises (CMMN) is estimated by accurate measurements detected irregularly by the mobile object observation system (from radiofrequency identifiers, etalon reference, fixed points etc.). The problem of adaptive estimation of the observer’s noises covariance matrix in the Kalman filter is solved analytically for two cases: mutual noises correlation, and its absence. The numerical example for adaptive filtration of complexing navigation system parameters of a mobile object using irregular accurate measurements is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Coordinate estimating errors have changed in comparison with the traditional scheme from 100 m to 2 m in latitude, and from 200 m to 1.5 m in longitude.

The Core

Nested carbon nanotubes exhibit telescopic oscillatory motion with frequencies in the gigahertz range. In this paper, our previously proposed semi-analytical expression for the interaction force between two concentric carbon nanotubes is used to solve the equation of motion. That expression also enables a new semi-analytical expression for the precise evaluation of oscillation frequency to be introduced. Alternatively, an algebraic frequency formula derived based on the simplifying assumption of constant van der Waals force is also given. Based on the given formulas, a thorough study on different aspects of operating frequencies under various system parameters is conducted, which permits fresh insight into the problem. Some notable improvements over the previously drawn conclusions are made. The strong dependence of oscillatory frequency on system parameters including the extrusion distance and initial velocity of the core as initial conditions for the motion is shown. Interestingly, our results indicate that there is a special initial velocity at which oscillatory frequency is unique for any arbitrary length of the core. A particular relationship between the escape velocity (the minimum initial velocity beyond which the core will leave the outer nanotube) and this specific initial velocity is also revealed.

In this study, a new approach of image encryption has been proposed. This method is depends on the symmetric encryption algorithm RC4 and Rossler chaotic system. Firstly, the encryption key is employed to ciphering a plain image using RC4 and obtains a ciphered-image. Then, the same key is used to generate the initial conditions of the Rossler system. The system parameters and the initial conditions are used as the inputs for Rossler chaotic system to generate the 2-dimensional array of random values. The resulted array is XORed with the ciphered-image to obtain the final encrypted-image. Based on the experimental results, the proposed method has achieved high security and less computation time. Also, the proposed method can be resisted attacks like (statistical, brute-force, and differential).

Widely used data processing platforms use distributed systems to process huge data efficiently. The aim of this article is to optimize the platform services by tuning only the relevant, tunable, system parameters and to identify the relation between the software quality metrics. The system parameters of data platforms based on the service level agreements can be defined and customized. In the first stage, the most significant parameters are identified and shortlisted using various feature selection approaches. In the second stage, the iterative runs of applications are executed for tuning these shortlisted parameters to identify the optimal value and to understand the impact of individual input parameters on the system output parameter. The empirical results imply significant improvement in performance and with which it is possible to render the proposed work optimizing the services offered by these data platforms.

The MARK III FAA (Flexible Automatic Assembly) cell was designed to minimise the risk factors associated with FAA. This FAA cell is stepwise upgradeable and adopts the sub-batch principle and reversed material flow solutions. It allows for the assembly of products with an annual volume normally too low to justify automation. The MARK III FAA cell was implemented with the FACE programming and control system, a PC-based, modular programming and control platform for FAA cells. It enables the management of unpredictable order schemes and leads to very low programming costs.

Plastic is one of the most demanded materials on the planet, and the increasing consumption of which contributes to the accumulation of significant amounts of waste based on it. For this reason, a new approach to the development of these materials has been formed: the production of polymers with constant operational characteristics during the period of consumption and capable of then being destroyed under the influence of environmental factors and being involved in the metabolic processes of natural biosystems. The paper outlines the prerequisites for the development of the field of creating biodegradable composite materials, as well as the main technical solutions for obtaining such polymeric materials. The main current solutions for reducing and regulating the degradation time of polymer materials are presented. The most promising ways of further development of the field of bioplastics production are described. Common types of polymers based on renewable raw materials, composites with their use, and modified materials from natural and synthetic polymers are considered.

A new approach regarding the development of nanostructured V2O5 electrochromic thin films at low temperature (250 °C), using air-carrier spray deposition and ammonium metavanadate in water as precursor is presented. The obtained V2O5 films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, while their electrochromic response was studied using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The study showed that this simple, cost effective, suitable for large area deposition method can lead to V2O5 films with large active surface for electrochromic applications.

‘D.c. transmission systems’ covers the operational characteristics and equipment from the sending end a.c. system to the receiving end a.c. system, and includes the characteristics of those two a.c. systems as well as all the equipment in between. Since d.c. transmission is the ‘challenger’ and a.c. transmission is the ‘sitting tenant’ it behoves d.c. to prove its worth using the well-developed a.c. technique as a yardstick with regard to technical excellence, performance, reliability and the all important cost. Existing schemes are reviewed in terms of the system parameters which influenced the choice of d.c. and bulk long-distance transmission is used as an example. Control of a d.c. scheme is touched upon, followed by a discussion of some recent studies and operating experience.

Additive manufacturing is a new approach to solving the problems of creating high-performance instrument components. This article is devoted to the solution of the narrowly directed problem of surfacing metal powder 321L using the LENS method on the solenoid valve core. The core is made of electrical steel, in which a complex groove is machined. The difficulty of this work was to accurately perform the geometry of the melt layer that is not standard for this method. As a result, the product was obtained according to a completely new approach to its design, which subsequently gave increased operational characteristics of the final product. The article presents the problems that can be encountered when performing complex crevice surfacing on a complex groove. The structure of the deposited layer is considered, defects characteristic of this method in the form of interlayer pores, unalloyed powder particles are identified and described. The LENS process control modes are presented in order to reduce defects and improve the development of surfacing geometry.
