Five Axes

A new step forward in Transmission Electron Microscopy has been made with the introduction of the CompuStage on the CM-series TEMs: CM120, CM200, CM200 FEG and CM300. This new goniometer has motorization on five axes (X, Y, Z, α, β), all under full computer control by a dedicated microprocessor that is in communication with the main CM processor. Positions on all five axes are read out directly - not via a system counting motor revolutions - thereby providing a high degree of accuracy. The CompuStage enters the octagonal block around the specimen through a single port, allowing the specimen stage to float freely in the vacuum between the objective-lens pole pieces, thereby improving vibration stability and freeing up one access port. Improvements in the mechanical design ensure higher stability with regard to vibration and drift. During stage movement the holder O-ring no longer slides, providing higher drift stability and positioning accuracy as well as better vacuum.

Operation And Maintenance

Abstract The paper deals with the process of shaping the operational effectiveness of military aircraft under some specific circumstances, i.e. while flying on missions. The term ‘effectiveness’ has been assumed to mean the probability of accomplishing an air mission by one of the aeronautical system’s components, i.e. the aircraft together with its pilot. There is a chance to improve the effectiveness, or make it worse, in subsequent flights, depending on how the maintenance support function. The correct operation and maintenance of the system’s components should provide that the following condition is satisfied: * Pk ≥ P , where Pk - effectiveness in the k-th flight, and P* - the lower demanded limit of effectiveness. The Authors drew their inspiration for this paper from publication [2].

New Machine

Abstract To establish an exercise in open muscular chain rehabilitation (OMC), it is necessary to choose the type of kinematic chain of the mechanical / biomechanical system that constitutes the lower limbs in interaction with the robotic device. Indeed, it’s accepted in biomechanics that a rehabilitation exercise in OMC of the lower limb is performed with a fixed hip and a free foot. Based on these findings, a kinematic structure of a new machine, named Reeduc-Knee, is proposed, and a mechanical design is carried out. The contribution of this work is not limited to the mechanical design of the Reeduc-Knee system. Indeed, to define the minimum parameterizing defining the configuration of the device relative to an absolute reference, a geometric and kinematic study is presented.
