Within the Clemps project (Closed-Loop Embedded MEMS-based Precision Stage) we investigate the fabrication of MEMS-based stages with up to three degrees of freedom. These stages are to be used in, for example, transmission electron microscopy applications and probe based data storage. The project is a close cooperation with the MA group of IMPACT. The desired stages are characterized by a numbe...

The objective of this work was to study the quality of guar and guar gum produced in Sindh, Pakistan. Fresh guar, guar seeds and guar gum made in laboratory was analyzed for that purpose. For comparison purpose, analytical grade guar gum and industrial guar gum (prepared from guar split) was also studied. Results of proximate composition of guar seed revealed that it is mainly composed of Nitro...
