Background: The selection of materials for the production of multilayer insoles for diabetic feet is a difficult task owing to the lack of technical information about these materials. Therefore, objective criteria were established for the selection of these materials. Methods: Mechanical- and comfort-related tests for the mechanical characterization of different materials and their combinations were considered. These tests were conducted according to standardized test methods for polymeric cellular materials. Results: Criteria for the use of cellular materials were obtained. The properties of accommodation, cushioning, and filling materials were established and the most adequate polymer nature for each of the three applications was identified. Variables that affect the properties of these material combinations were studied. Conclusions: These test results will allow podiatrists to select insoles in a more objective way, thus achieving a more successful treatment for diabetic foot-related injuries.

Cleanroom wipers have long played an indispensable role in managing contamination in controlled environments. From wiping residues on hard surfaces to applying cleaning solutions, wipers perform a variety of tasks that help maintain the cleanliness levels desired in a given cleanroom environment. This makes the selection of cleanroom wipers a critical decision in any controlled environment. One common way to distinguish between cleanroom wipers of similar structural design is to compare test results across a variety of criteria, according to recommended practices by organizations such as the IEST. However, these results are typically listed as single data points for a given test and are meant to indicate either "typical values," or even target specifications, in some instances. This approach is inherently limited and ineffective in assessing the true levels of cleanliness of a given wiper product. In this study, we review the test methods that are used to evaluate cleanroom wipers and present a new and improved approach by which users can evaluate their cleanliness. We provide a framework by which the consistency of the cleanliness of cleanroom wipers can be assessed in a statistically relevant manner. Finally, we demonstrate the value of using consistency of test results rather than a singular test result as the true measure of wiper quality.

AbstractThe electrical and charge collection properties of a semiconductor detector play an important role in a spectrometer's final performance. However, the studies of these properties often concentrate on only a few samples. In this work over 100 CdZnTe detectors from 12 different growth boules were characterized with one of the following test methods. The composition uniformity was evaluated with low temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements. From the current-voltage characteristics the differences in CdZnTe detector resistivities were investigated. Charge collection properties, μτ-products, and energy resolutions were characterized with spectroscopic methods using an alpha and isotopic sources. A wide selection of test results are presented indicating the variety of CdZnTe material.

Abstract The subject of rubber testing and its standardization has received so much attention in recent years, that some apology might seem necessary for discussing it further. A few years ago the present writer had occasion to call attention to several respects in which existing test methods showed unnecessary lack of uniformity (Trans. Inst. Rubber Ind., 5, 139 (1929)), and it must be admitted that this lack of uniformity still persists to a great extent, with a corresponding loss in the value of published test results. It is the object of the present note to call attention more particularly to some unsatisfactory features in the selection of the “best” or “optimum” cure of a mix for purposes of comparison with other mixes. It is scarcely necessary to emphasize the fact that in comparing the properties of different mixings, as in examining the effects of fillers, accelerators, antioxidants, softeners, etc., all the mixings must be vulcanized to comparable states of cure. Nevertheless, an examination of published data shows that often insufficient attention is paid to ensuring strict comparability. For instance, it is not uncommon to find the effect of fillers examined by taking an accelerated base stock, adding the fillers to it, and vulcanizing all the resulting mixings for the same time, it being assumed that the fillers do not affect rate of cure. This assumption is not justifiable, even in the case of seemingly inert materials. An obvious case is that of gas black, which, though chemically inert, retards vulcanization in presence of organic accelerators. Moreover, such “inert” materials as barytes, blanc fixe, whiting, and strontium sulfate may markedly alter the rate of cure. Thus, in some experiments made by the writer, a base mix accelerated with dephenylguanidine (0.75% on the rubber) gave optimum mechanical properties after 90 minutes at 141° C., but mixings containing the fillers mentioned had optimum curing times ranging from 65 to 110 minutes. The writer has, indeed, come across a filler consisting of a very inert compound, which nevertheless completely puts out of action the most powerful organic accelerators. It is thus clearly unsafe to assume that any material will be inert as regards its effect on rate of vulcanization, whether in presence of an organic accelerator or not.

This paper presents a summary of recent testing into bolt relaxation, which occurs at temperatures above 230°C (450°F). Bolt relaxation is problematic for pressure boundary bolted joints as it can lead to joint leakage in the longer term. In addition, it should be a major consideration at the design phase, with selection of the appropriate bolt material limited not by the creep or yield limit of the material, but by the point where bolt relaxation becomes significant. Preliminary test results for different bolt materials at different temperatures are presented in this paper. The test results allow for some very high level observations regarding the acceptable design limits for different bolt and nut material combinations.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a telecommunications technology that is able to pass the communication service in Internet Protocol networks so as to allow communicating between users in an IP network. However VoIP technology still has weakness in the Quality of Service (QoS). VOPI weaknesses is affected by the selection of the physical servers used. In this research, VoIP is configured on Linux operating system with Asterisk as VoIP application server and integrated on a Raspberry Pi by using wired and wireless network as the transmission medium. Because of depletion of IPv4 capacity that can be used on the network, it needs to be applied to VoIP system using the IPv6 network protocol with supports devices. The test results by using a wired transmission medium that has obtained are the average delay is 117.851 ms, jitter is 5.796 ms, packet loss is 0.38%, throughput is 962.861 kbps, 8.33% of CPU usage and 59.33% of memory usage. The analysis shows that the wired transmission media is better than the wireless transmission media and wireless-wired.
