Hypervelocity Particle Capture Material
The Stardust Mission used silica aerogel as the hypervelocity particle capture and return material since silica aerogel was the most reproducible to manufacture and the most thoroughly evaluated type of aerogel at the time [1]. However, the Stardust Science Team recognized that the use of silica aerogel, while expedient, introduced limits to mission’s eventual science return. This is due to the...
متن کاملConvergent setal morphology in sand-covering spiders suggests a design principle for particle capture.
Sicarius and Homalonychus are unrelated, desert-dwelling spiders that independently evolved the ability to cover themselves in fine sand particles, making them cryptic against their background. Observations that particles associate with these spiders' setae inspired us to investigate the role of setal microstructure in particle capture and retention. Here we report that Sicarius and Homalonychu...
متن کاملParticle capture into the lung made simple?
Understanding the impact distribution of particles entering the human respiratory system is of primary importance as it concerns not only atmospheric pollutants or dusts of various kinds but also the efficiency of aerosol therapy and drug delivery. To model this process, current approaches consist of increasingly complex computations of the aerodynamics and particle capture phenomena, performed...
متن کاملParticle capture in binary solidification
We examine the interaction of a spherical foreign particle with a propagating solidification front in a binary alloy. Depending on the material properties and the speed of the front, the particle may be pushed ahead of the front, or engulfed and incorporated into the solid phase. We apply numerical boundary integral and continuation methods to determine the critical speed for particle capture, ...
متن کاملArticulated Body Motion Capture by Annealed Particle Filtering
The main challenge in articulated body motion tracking is the large number of degrees of freedom (around 30) to be recovered. Search algorithms, either deterministic or stochastic, that search such a space without constraint, fall foul of exponential computational complexity. One approach is to introduce constraints — either labelling using markers or colour coding, prior assumptions about moti...
