Abstract A liquid-crystal (LC)-based floating electrode-free (FE-free) coplanar waveguide (CPW) phase shifter with an additional LC layer is demonstrated for the first time. An LC layer is overlain on the electrodes of the original model; this change increases the amount of electric flux that the proposed structure can confine in the tunable region, and thereby greatly increases the figure-of-merit (FoM) while maintaining the benefits of the simple coplanar structure. We simulated the variations in the phase shifter’s FoM, characteristic impedance, and driving voltage while sweeping the additional LC layer thickness up to 300 μm with each electrode condition at 28 GHz. In the case of electrode thickness variation, the FoM increased as electrode thickness increased, regardless of the presence of the additional LC layer. However, in the case of the signal electrode width variation, we obtained an opposite FoM tendency depending on the presence of the additional LC layer. This work shows the possibility of an efficient LC-based FE-free CPW phase shifter design for a given LC layer and electrode conditions.

The recently developed parallel electron energy loss spectrometers (PEELS) have led to a significant reduction in spectrum acquisition time making EELS more useful in many applications in material science. Dwell times as short as 50 msec per spectrum with a PEELS coupled to a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), can make quantitative EEL images accessible. These images would present distribution of elements with the high spatial resolution inherent to EELS. The aim of this paper is to briefly investigate the effect of acquisition time per pixel on the signal to noise ratio (SNR), the effect of thickness variation and crystallography and finally the energy stability of spectra when acquired in the scanning mode during long periods of time.The configuration of the imaging system is the following: a Gatan PEELS is coupled to a CM30 (TEM/STEM) electron microscope, the control of the spectrometer and microscope is performed through a LINK AN10-85S MCA which is interfaced to a IBM RT 125 (running under AIX) via a DR11W line.

The present investigation deals with the formulation of fast disintegrating tablets of Meloxicam that disintegrate in the oral cavity upon contact with saliva and there by improve therapeutic efficacy. Meloxicam is a newer selective COX-1 inhibitor. The tablets were prepared by wet granulation procedure. The influence of superdisintegrants, crosspovidone, croscaremellose sodium on disintegration time, wetting time and water absorption ratio were studied. Tablets were evaluated for weight and thickness variation, disintegration time, drug content, in vitro dissolution, wetting time and water absorption ratio. The in vitro disintegration time of the best fast disintegrating tablets was found to be 18 sec. Tablets containing crospovidone exhibit quick disintegration time than tablets containing croscaremellose sodium. The fast disintegrating tablets of Meloxicam with shorter disintegration time, acceptable taste and sufficient hardness could be prepared using crospovidone and other excipients at optimum concentration.

Based on the developed methods of hysteresis interference, the calculated dependences U(x) of the electric voltage taken from the magnetic field transducer on the x coordinate were obtained. A magnetic carrier with an arctangent characteristic was exposed to a series of bipolar pulses of the magnetic field of a linear inductor of one, two, three, four, five and fifteen pulses. An algorithm is presented for the sequence of changes in the magnitude of the total strength of the magnetic field pulses on the surface of an aluminum plate, which provides the same amplitude of hysteresis oscillations of the electric voltage and makes it possible to obtain a linear difference dependence U(x) for wedge-shaped and flat aluminum samples. The results obtained make it possible to increase the accuracy and efficiency of control of the thickness of the object and its thickness variation in the given directions, as well as the defects of the object.
