Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) of macromolecules in solution is in increasing demand by an ever more diverse research community, both academic and industrial. To better serve user needs, and to allow automated and high-throughput operation, a sample changer (BioSAXS Sample Changer) that is able to perform unattended measurements of up to several hundred samples per day has been developed. ...

The bicycle is constantly being updated in order to meet market needs, the developing trend of bicycle shifting gear has changed from manual shifting fashion into automatic shift fashion. In this paper, a systematic approach is proposed to synthesize the design concept of the three-speed automatic speed changer. In this paper, we accord to the design concepts of planetary gear trains with two d...

The paper presents a new method for on-line temperature calculation taking into account change in the tap changer position. The method introduces accurate calculation of the losses, depending on the current, average temperature of the winding, and tap changer position (it affects both Joules (DC) losses and stray losses). The thermal model itself is the common three-body model (for a transforme...

In the traditional port, disengaging hook system adopts a three-phase power frequency power to drive a three-phase asynchronous motor. The operation is simple and the maintenance is convenient. However, it still keeps the speed of mooring lines constant. Under the light-load condition, the work efficiency could be affected because of the low speed. To solve this problem, we start the research i...

This paper deals with the design, fabrication and characterization of a tool changer for micromanipulation cells. This tool changer is part of a manipulation cell including a three linear axes robot and a piezoelectric microgripper. All these parts are designed to perform micromanipulation tasks in confined spaces such as a microfactory or in the chamber of a scanning electron microscope (SEM)....

C 2012 American Chemical Society Graphene: The Game Changer? I t has only been eight years since the isolation of graphene 1 and over a year since the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was jointly awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov “for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene.” Nevertheless, the number of graphene publications is still rapidly growing. T...

wants to make the transition between medical school and residency seamless. A lthough she no longer heads a medical school, Deborah Powell is making a mark on medical education. She's trying to break down the wall between medical school and residency and wants to see students trained in a way that's practical , efficient and better reflects the way medicine is practiced today. " Medicine has ev...

To obtain the characteristic life of a chain tool magazine and automatic tool changer under normal working condition, a small-sample accelerated life test method was developed. The inverse power law model and small-sample virtual augmented theory was applied while taking vibration as the accelerated stress. The accelerated life test of the automatic tool changer was carried out under different ...
