In-situ experiments conducted within a transmission electron microscope provide the operator a unique opportunity to directly observe microstructural phenomena, such as phase transformations and dislocation-precipitate interactions, “as they happen”. However, in-situ experiments usually require a tremendous amount of experimental preparation beforehand, as well as, during the actual experiment. In most cases the researcher must operate and control several pieces of equipment simultaneously. For example, in in-situ deformation experiments, the researcher may have to not only operate the TEM, but also control the straining holder and possibly some recording system such as a video tape machine. When it comes to in-situ fatigue deformation, the experiments became even more complicated with having to control numerous loading cycles while following the slow crack growth. In this paper we will describe a new method for conducting in-situ fatigue experiments using a camputer-controlled tensile straining holder.The tensile straining holder used with computer-control system was manufactured by Philips for the Philips 300 series microscopes. It was necessary to modify the specimen stage area of this holder to work in the Philips 400 series microscopes because the distance between the optic axis and holder airlock is different than in the Philips 300 series microscopes. However, the program and interfacing can easily be modified to work with any goniometer type straining holder which uses a penrmanent magnet motor.

Abstract Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronics, control engineering, and computer science in the design process. This paper describes a new elective course entitled Mechatronics which has been developed and was taught for the first time at Rensselaer during the fall 1991 semester to 45 senior-undergraduate and graduate students. The key areas of mechatronics which are studied in depth in this course are: control sensors and actuators, interfacing sensors and actuators to a microcomputer, discrete controller design, and real-time programming for control using the C programming language. The course is heavily laboratory-based with a two-hour laboratory weekly in addition to three hours of classroom lecture. The laboratory exercises include computer-aided control system design using MATRIXx, various analog and digital sensors, hydraulic actuators, DC and stepper motors, and computer control of a variety of physical systems. The unifying theme for the course is the integration of these key areas into a successful mechatronic design. Students are required, as a final project, to: identify a problem or need, analyze the problem, and write a problem statement; perform a state-of-the-art review; develop a list of specifications and identify the key specifications; generate an outstanding mechatronic-system conceptual design; and finally perform a detailed design of the system which may include model building and hardware development. Examples of student projects are described. This course should significantly enhance our design education program in the Mechanical Engineering Department and lay the foundation for the students to become mechatronic design engineers.

PurposeThe purpose is to assess the patient safety culture perceived by healthcare and administrative staff in a Brazilian hospital and examine whether education and experience are related to positive perceptions.Design/methodology/approachA descriptive–analytical case study was carried out at Ernesto Dornelles Hospital, a private Brazilian institution. The Brazilian version of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture was used to assess the perceptions of 618 participants, of whom 315 worked in healthcare assistance and 303 in administrative services. The main outcome was the percentage of positive responses, and the independent variables included the type of work, schooling and length of experience.FindingsNone of the twelve dimensions was strengthened. The percentage of positive responses was the highest for “Hospital management support for patient safety” (67.5%), and the lowest was for “Nonpunitive response to error” (29%). The healthcare staff had a slightly higher average than the administrative staff. The percentage of positive responses from professionals with undergraduate or graduate degrees was higher for the eight dimensions of safety culture. The length of hospital experience was not associated with any dimensions.Originality/valueThis study explored the influence of education and professional experience on the perception of patient safety in healthcare and administrative staff from a private institution. These approaches allow to know with greater depth and clarity factors that are related to the patient safety culture and, thus, have more consistent evidence to support interventions in specific needs.

Over the past two decades, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) contamination control program has evolved from a ground-based integration program to a space-based science-sustaining program. On-orbit, the primary contamination requirement for the telescope was maintaining a low contamination flux in the optical path of the instrument. In addition, to maintain the scientific capability of the telescope, the contamination requirements and specific contamination controls from the second- and third-generation scientific instruments and orbital replacement units were captured within the HST contamination control program. Contamination controls involving the Orbiter, astronauts, and mission were developed for on-orbit operations and four servicing missions. Long-term on-orbit scientific data has shown that these contamination controls successfully protected the HST from contamination.

The field of robotics and mechatronics can benefit greatly from the development of its peripheral elements. At the time when the author began studies on legged locomotion robots in 1984, many researchers in the fields of mechanical engineering, control engineering, and electrical engineering became interested in this subject, and it was becoming possible to carry out not only the theoretical discussions on the basis of simulations but also the experimental discussions using actual machines. This is because, at that time, computers were rapidly increasing their performance and were becoming relatively inexpensive so that they were being introduced into work even at research laboratories of universities. Needless to say, without such development of computer technology, the advances not only in the legged locomotion robots but also in a number of mechatronic devices would have been hampered. For us who have gotten hold of high-performance computers, one of the present overriding issues is an appearance of new high-performance actuators. Almost every legged locomotion robot uses either an electric motor or a hydraulic actuator. However, its energy sources are placed outside the robot, and these actuators themselves have not really been miniaturized to any remarkable extent up to now. Computer control is indispensable for mechatronic devices that are equipped with actuators. At present, various control theories are being proposed in an effort to raise control performance by compensating restrictions on hardware (such as power-weight ratio, responsiveness, nonlinearity, etc.) as many as possible. It is necessary to continue such control-theoretic discussions in the future as well. On the other hand, however, rapid progress in hardware involving actuators and sensors may have a possibility of raising such performance drastically all at once. In the future, it is hoped that researchers are not well versed in the robotics or mechatronics may participate to develop the actuators based on new principles. The fact that an electro-rheological fluid may be used as actuators is attracting attention, for example. In actually developing devices incorporating with the electro-rheological fluid, various experimental data must be fed back skillfully to the chemists as developers of the fluids. In other words, the cooperation of both sides is extremely important. The author feels through his own studies the importance of developing high-performance actuators. In addition, since the debugging (improvement) of hardware (actuators) takes a longer time than the debugging of software, a patient and steady R&D is considered necessary. In this special issue, Prof. Takamori (Kobe University) was requested to provide a general overview as an expert engaged in studies of the actuators over a long period of time; he presented an explanation on what are new, hopeful actuators and also on the latest achievements that are considered promising in the future, now that the 21st century is so close. Other researchers were kind enough to introduce their very creative and advanced studies as well.

The study aimed to identify the students who cannot finish their course on time, addressing the inhibiting factor for their course completion, identify the students’ efforts and struggle on their course completion, and to understand their expectations from the school administration to accommodate their course completion. The research used survey methods with questionnaire as the instrument. The subjects of the research are the diploma and bachelor degree students of Mechanical Engineering Education Department. Data were analyzed using quantitative-descriptive technique. The results show that the inhibiting factors are the long commute to campus for supervisions, many students still taking coursework, students already have a job, passive supervisors, unconducive environment, and supervisions that were not intensively done. The students were still committed to complete their course, albeit those inhibiting factors. Students’ commitments were supported by various efforts, namely intensive supervision, independent study or discussion, and finding a conducive environment to work on their final projects and theses. Students’ expectations for the success of their course are the availability of final project and thesis in an earlier stage of their study, supervisor should be appointed based on their competency, increasing the allocated time of the final project schedule, the administration needs to renew the workshop’s machinery and equipment, and cut off the unnecessary final project and Thesis administration steps, to make it easier for students in completing their course. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengidentifikasi mahasiswa yang tidak dapat menyelesaikan studinya tepat waktu, mengetahui faktor penghambat, mengetahui usaha-usaha yang sudah dilakukan mahasiswa, dan mengetahui harapan mahasiswa kepada pengelola Jurusan Pendidikan Teknik Mesin FT UNY. Penelitian menggunakan metode survey menggunakan angket dengan analisis deskriptif kuantitatif. Objek penelitian yaitu mahasiswa D3 Teknik Mesin dan S1 Pendidikan Teknik Mesin.
