Topological Optimization of the Strength Element of the Aircraft Compartment Made of Metal-Matrix Composite Material

At present, in order to increase the weight efficiency of parts and structures of promising aircraft and rocket-space vehicles, various types of additive technologies and topological optimization methods are being actively introduced. Their purpose is a significant reduction in time and financial costs in the manufacture and creation of fundamentally new geometric solutions. The article considers approaches to selecting the geometric parameters of the strength elements of the flight vehicle body made of a metal-matrix composite material based on VT6 titanium alloy, reinforced with a finely dispersed silicon carbide powder, which is produced by direct laser growth technology. On the basis of numerical simulation, the dependences of the metal-matrix composite material physicomechanical and thermophysical characteristics on the volume fraction of silicon carbide have been determined. It was found that the use of a metal-matrix composite material and the optimization of geometric parameters with adaptation to the direct laser growth technology allows reducing the weight of the strength element of the flight vehicle body by more than 30% (depending on the overall dimensions).

Постростовые технологии каскадных фотоэлектрических преобразователей на основе A-=SUP=-3-=/SUP=-B-=SUP=-5-=/SUP=--гетероструктур

Investigation and development of the post-growth technology for fabricating multi-junction photovoltaic converters based on GaInP/GaInAs/Ge heterostructure has been carried out. Antireflection coating, ohmic contacts and mesa-structure forming stages have been reviewed. The technology of n+-GaAs contact layer etching with the help of plasma-chemical, liquid and ion-beam etching has been investigated. Antireflection coefficient of radiation from the heterostructure with TiOx/SiO2 (x close to 2) antireflection coating surface was less then 3% in wavelength range 450-850 nm. The value of contact resistance for n- and p-type conductivity was 3E−5 − 3E−6 ohm · cm2, the decrease of photosensitive region shading degree at increased bus-bar conductivity has been archived. The mesa-structure surface current leakage decreased to the value of E-9 A at voltage less then 1 V.

Towards a Better Understanding of High-Growth Technology Firms

<p>High-growth has long been of interest to management academics, as they seek to understand how uncharacteristically high periods of revenue or employment growth occur, and the effects they have on firms, and the wider economy. However, despite the ongoing interest in the field, there have not been conclusive studies that are able to piece together all of the factors that may play a role in the occurrence of high-growth, and therefore there is still relatively little understanding of how and when high-growth occurs, and what control firms may have over such growth. This mixed-methodology research uses both quantitative analysis of high-growth patterns, and qualitative interviews with relevant firms to explore the factors commonly associated with high-growth. This allows for a better understanding of how high-growth may occur. The findings indicate that high-growth is typically the product of interactions between a range of factors. The most influential factor on high-growth appears to be the competence, expertise, and experience of those managing the firm, either in a directorial or managerial capacity. The findings also indicate that, while high-growth may not be entirely predictable, there are commonalities between the high-growth patterns that technology firms experience, such as the receiving of patents, or even inclusion in the TIN100 database. Overall, this research found that there appears to be much greater diversity in high-growth than previous literature tends to suggest. The research concludes with practical implications of these findings for firms and managers of these findings, as well as suggesting directions for future research in the field.</p>

Three-micrometer-diameter needle electrode with an amplifier for extracellular in vivo recordings

Microscale needle-electrode devices offer neuronal signal recording capability in brain tissue; however, using needles of smaller geometry to minimize tissue damage causes degradation of electrical properties, including high electrical impedance and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) recording. We overcome these limitations using a device assembly technique that uses a single needle-topped amplifier package, called STACK, within a device of ∼1 × 1 mm2. Based on silicon (Si) growth technology, a <3-µm-tip-diameter, 400-µm-length needle electrode was fabricated on a Si block as the module. The high electrical impedance characteristics of the needle electrode were improved by stacking it on the other module of the amplifier. The STACK device exhibited a voltage gain of >0.98 (−0.175 dB), enabling recording of the local field potential and action potentials from the mouse brain in vivo with an improved SNR of 6.2. Additionally, the device allowed us to use a Bluetooth module to demonstrate wireless recording of these neuronal signals; the chronic experiment was also conducted using STACK-implanted mice.

Some results of growth technology by 2 stem for mini tomato (Lycopersicon Esculentum. Mill) varieties

The purpose of this study was to compare the new technology methods of growing two-stem tomatoes with the method of growing one main stem during the testing of small fruit tomato varieties that are adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of Mongolia. When growing tomato varieties with 2 stems, Seminis-SV7160TC, Galaxy and TY Candy varieties had 169-171 days from germination to 80% of fruit ripening, which is 4-6 days later than growing with 1 main stem. When growing tomato varieties with 2 stems, it is possible to produce 10 or more stems per plant with 10 stems per plant or 10 stems per plant, but the delay in fruit ripening affected the yield and quality of the crop. Жижиг жимст лоолийн (Lycopersicon Esculentum. Mill) сортуудыг 2 ишээр ургуулах шинэ технологийг туршсан дүнгээс Монгол орны хөрс, цаг уурын нөхцөлд дасан зохицох жижиг жимстэй лоолийн сортуудыг сорих, туршихдаа шинэ технологиудын нэг болох 2 ишээр ургуулах аргыг 1 гол ишээр ургуулах аргатай харьцуулан судлах зорилгоор энэхүү судалгааг явуулсан. Лоолийн сортуудыг 2 ишээр ургуулахад Seminis-SV7160TC, Galaxy, TY Candy сортуудад соёололтын жигдрэлтээс үр жимсний болцын 80% хүртэлхи хугацаагаар тооцоход 169-171 хоног байсан нь 1 гол ишээр ургуулснаас 4-6 хоногоор оройтсон. Лоолийн сортуудыг 2 ишээр ургуулахад салаа иш тус бүрт 5 ш багцэцэг буюу 1 ургамалд 10 ш байхаар ургуулсан. Энэ арга нь 1 ишээр ургуулснаас 3 ш-ээр илүү багц үр жимс авах боломжтой байсан ч үр жимсний боловсролтын хугацаа оройтсон нь ургацын хэмжээ, чанарт нөлөөлж байсан. Лоолийн сортуудбг 2 ишээр ургуулсан хувилбаруудад 1 м2-ын ургац KT Orange(5.3 кг), Seminis-SV7160TC(6.3 кг), Galaxy(6.6 кг), TY Candy(6.1 кг), TY 777(6.0 кг) байсан бол 1 гол ишээр ургуулсан сортуудыг хяналт болгож ижил нөхцөлд ургуулахад KT Orange(3.6 кг),Seminis-SV7160TC(5.0 кг), Galaxy(6.0 кг),TY Candy(4.8 кг),TY 777(5.3 кг), Вишнийвидный(5.7 кг) байсан. Эндээс үзэхэд шинэ технологийн арга болох залгалтын аргыг ашиглахад сорт тус бүр дээр 0,3-1.7 кг\м2-аар ахиу буюу 3-17 %-ийн нэмүү ургацтай байсан. Түлхүүр үг: гол иш, 2 иш, багцэцэг, үржимс, ургац
