Flow visualization of two phase flow pattern of steam during condensation process in separate horizontal quartz micro-tubes with inner diameter ranging from 70-675 m was conducted. Two main kinds of flow patterns were observed: annular flow and slug flow, which both were nearly symmetrical. The annular flow also can be divided into two kinds: annular flow and annular-wave flow. The effects of t...

Mass flow inequality in the initial stage of tube processing can lead to eccentricity and micro- nano-structural changes that affect residual stress texture development. In this study, macro- micro-texture development copper tubes drawn with a tilted die was investigated using three methods: synchrotron, neutron diffraction, electron backscatter positions maximum minimum wall thickness tubes. U...

MEMS resonators have started replacing the quartz crystals and SAW resonators in RF transceivers because of their inherent advantages like high quality factor, small size, robustness and easy integrability with supporting electronics. The paper presents the developments that have taken place in MEMS resonators. Some of the issues in the design and development of electrostatically transduced MEM...

The Tonggou deposit is a porphyry Cu and vein-type Cu-Zn mineralization system located in the Bogda Orogenic Belt, north of Eastern Tianshan. Systematic fluid inclusion analyses were performed on granular quartz from magnetite–quartz stage pyrite–chalcopyrite–quartz mineralization. During early mineralization, ore-forming fluids at high temperatures (450–501 °C) salinity (51.2–55.2 wt.% NaCl eq...

This thesis presents the development of a theoretical framework capable of encompassing the colour and texture information in a robust image descriptor that can be applied to the identification of coherent regions in complex natural images. In the suggested approach, the colour and texture features are extracted explicitly on two independent channels and the main emphasis of this work was place...

In the field of Abrasive Water Jet (AWJ) machining, the current focus is on the fabrication of complex threedimensional features. The current work is aimed at using this strategy to manufacture micro-tools for machining arrays of square holes using Electric Discharge Machining (EDM). Based on selected parameters of AWJ process(step over, traverse speed, path strategy),micro tools were fabricate...

The resolution of product images is becoming higher dues to the rapid development of digital cameras and the Internet. Higher resolution images expose novel feature relationships that did not exist before. For instance, from a large image of a garment, one can observe the overall shape, the wrinkles, and the micro-level details such as sewing lines and weaving patterns. The key idea of our work...

The rotating ultrasonic-assisted grinding (RUAG) experiment of the conical wheel generated intermittent pit-shaped micro-texture on surface workpiece, reducing thermal damage and improving lubrication characteristics compared with conventional (CG). To further optimize properties, this paper studied formation mechanism micro-texture. This study used as basis theory that micro-debris volume equa...

Two neural classifiers were developed for image recognition: PCNC (Permutation Coding Neural Classifier) and LIRA (Limited Receptive Area) neural classifiers. These neural classifiers are multipurpose neural classifiers. We applied them in micromechanics. Information about shape and texture of the micro workpiece can be used to improve precision of both assembly and manufacturing processes. The...
