While most contemporary methods of qualitative analysis of multi-phase materials are still based on the classic Search/Match/Identify process developed by Hanawalt, Rinn and Frevel in the 1930s, during the past 10 years or so the personal computer, with associated CD-ROM storage, has made a dramatic impact on the ways in which classical procedures are being implemented. Until recently, most of the commercial mainframe and PC based software packages for qualitative phase identification have been designed to implement a fully automatic search/matching sequence. All of the major instrument suppliers now offer such programs as part of their Automated Powder Diffractometer (APD) packages. While these programs are extremely useful, the success of their application to a specific problem is critically dependent on the quality of both experimental data and reference data. Until the problems arising from comparing variable quality experimental and reference data are completely understood, it appears that there will continue to be an interest in user-inter active (computer-aided) manual methods of search/matching. This paper explores the use of the personal computer in the area of computer-aided search/matching

The use of the computer controlled powder diffractometer for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of multi phase powder mixtures is becoming relatively common place, and we ourselves have described in some detail the hardware and software components of typical systems 1,2) of which the AFD 3600 is the latest version 3). Although great success has been achieved in the use of the minicomputer for machine control, data acquisition and display, plus some degree of data workup, less success has been gained in search/matching of unknown powder patterns, although computer programs have been available for a number of years which utilize relatively large computers for automatic search/matching e.g. 4,5) the success with which these programs have been applied has been somewhat disappointing. Much of the difficulty arises from the marginal quality of data in the JCPDS index and from uncertainties in the accuracy of the experimental patterns.

This study investigated the fitting accuracy of titanium alloy fixed dental prostheses (FDP) after sequential CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) fabrication. A three-unit FDP model connecting mandibular second premolars and molars was prepared and scanned to fabricate titanium FDPs by CAD/CAM milling. A total of six FDPs were sequentially milled in one titanium alloy disk using a new set of burs every time (n = 4). The fitting accuracy of FDPs was mesiodistally evaluated by a silicone replica technique and the measurement was triplicated at four different locations: MO (marginal opening), MG (marginal gap), AG (axial gap), and OG (occlusal gap). Data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s HSD test. The fitting accuracy of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) FDPs milled using the worn or new bur were evaluated by the same procedure (n = 6). The mean dimensions of titanium FDP for all measuring positions, except for AG, were significantly increased from the third milling. However, no difference was noted between the first FDP and the second FDP milled with the same set of burs. Severe edge chippings were observed in all milling burs. Detrimental effects of the worn burs on the fitting accuracy were demonstrated in the CAD/CAM-milled PMMA FDP. The results recommend proper changing frequency of cutting burs to achieve the quality of fit and predictable outcomes for dental CAD/CAM prostheses.

Eighty specimens of cellulosic materials were analyzed over a period of several years to study the diffraction characteristics resulting from polymorphism, crystallinity, and chemical substitution. The aim of the study was to produce and verify the quality of reference data useful for the diffraction analyses of cellulosic materials. These reference data can be used for material identification, polymorphism, and crystallinity measurements. Overall 13 new references have been characterized for publication in the Powder Diffraction File (PDF) and several others are in the process of publication.

Perusahaan tahu di Indonesia pada umumnya, masih menggunakan cara manual, dalam pembuatannya khususnya pada proses penyaringan bubur kedelai yang membutuhkan waktu yang, lama. Hal tersebut didasarkan pada belum ditemukannya mesin pemeras bubur kedelai. Dewasa ini telah ditemukan inovasi mesin, pemeras bubur kedelai yang bisa meningkatkan kuantitas dan, kualitas produksi dibanding dengan cara manual. Penerapan, teknologinya adalah bubur kedelai diletakkan pada tabung, penyaring kemudian tabung tersebut diputar menggunakan motor, yang dihubungkan melalui fanbelt dan pulley. Ketika motor, diputar, tabung akan ikut berputar sehingga menimbulkan gerak, sentrifugal dimana air kedelai akan terpisah dari ampas. Kecepatan putar motor yang dikontrol adalah 750 rpm dengan, nilai Kp 0,108 , Ki 0,83 sehingga mendapatkan air sari kedelai, sebesar 1,3 liter dengan perbandingan 1 kg kedelai : 1 liter air. Parameter dari penerapan metode PI ini meliputi rise time 4 detik, settling time 4,5 detik, overshoot 0 dan error steady state 2,4%. Dengan penerapan metode PI maka hasil perasan kedelai dari, peyaringan menjadi semakin banyak dan waktu yang dibutuhkan 4 menit lebih singkat dibandingkan dengan cara konvensional.   Tofu companies in Indonesia generally still use manual methods in their manufacture, especially in the soybean slurry screening process which certainly has many disadvantages such as extortion time needed. This was based on the fact that there was no innovation in the soybean pulp squeezer. Currently, it has been found that innovations of soybean slurry machines can increase the quantity and quality of production compared to manual methods. The application of the technology is soybean slurry placed on the filter tube then the tube is rotated using a motor connected with fanbelt and pulley. When the motor is rotated, the tube will rotate, causing centrifugal motion where the soybean water will separate from the pulp. The speed of the motor controlled in 750 rpm with the Kp 0,108, Ki 0,83, to get soybean essence up to 1,3 liter within comparison 1 kg soybean : 1 liter water. The parameter PI method including rise time 4 second, settling time 4,5 second, overshoot 0 and error steady state 2,4%. By applying PI method, the result of filtering is 4 minute faster comparing with conventional method.

Spectral imaging in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyzer has the potential to be a powerful tool for chemical phase identification, but the large data sets have, in the past, proved too large to efficiently analyze. In the present work, we describe the application of a new automated, unbiased, multivariate statistical analysis technique to very large X-ray spectral image data sets. The method, based in part on principal components analysis, returns physically accurate (all positive) component spectra and images in a few minutes on a standard personal computer. The efficacy of the technique for microanalysis is illustrated by the analysis of complex multi-phase materials, particulates, a diffusion couple, and a single-pixel-detection problem.
