Development of all metal electrothermal actuator and its applications

The in-plane motion of microelectrothermal actuator ("heatuator") has been analyzed for Si-based and metallic devices. It was found that the lateral deflection of a heatuator made of a Ni metal is about ∼60% larger than that of a Si-based actuator under the same power consumption. Metals are much better for thermal actuators as they provide a relatively large deflection and large force, for a low operating temperature and power consumption. Electroplated Ni films were used to fabricate heatuators. The electrical and mechanical properties of electroplated Ni thin films have been investigated as a function of temperature and plating current density, and the process conditions have been optimized to obtain stress-free films suitable for microelectromechanical systems applications. Lateral thermal actuators have been successfully fabricated, and electrically tested. Microswitches and microtweezers utilizing the heatuator have also been fabricated and tested. © 2005 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Interim report on surface water resources of Baker County, Florida

The principal sources of surface-water supplies inBaker County are the St. Marys River and its tributaries. However, the flow of many of the small tributaries is intermittent, and without storage they are not dependable sources of supply during sustained periods of deficient rainfall. Of the six stream-gaging stations in Baker County for which complete records are available, one has been in operation for 31 years and provides a long-term record upon which to base correlative estimates for extending the short-term records at the other stations. All available streamflow data to 1957 have been summarized in graphic or tabular form. The hydrologic balance between minimum streamflows and increased evaporation losses afforded by potential shallow reservoirs provides design criteria for determining the maximum surface area of effective reservoir that can be created at a selected site within Baker County. This information has been presented in graphic and tabular form in the report. (PDF has 37 pages.)

Novus orbis regionum ac insularum veteribus incognitarum : una cum tabula cosmographica & aliquot alijs consimilis argumenti libellis, quorum omnium catalogus sequenti patebit pagina : his accessit copiosus rerum memorabilium index

Esta coleção, geralmente conhecida por Grineu, foi compilada por Johann Huttich e publicada por Simon Grineu, que também escreveu e assinou o prefácio. A primeira edição, "muito e rara e de inestimável valor", segundo Borba de Moraes, foi publicada na Basiléia por Jo. Hervagium, em 1532. Dessa edição, a Biblioteca Nacional do Rio de Janeiro possui um exemplar que pertencia à Biblioteca da Ajuda. A obra foi reimpressa em Paris, em 1532, e novamente na Basiléia, em 1537. Esta edição foi acrescida da carta de Maximilianus Transilvanus, secretário de Carlos V, ao Cardeal de Salzburgo. Dentre as várias ediçoes, a mais completa é a de 1555. Relata as grandes navegações e as expedições de Cristovão Colombo, Pedro Alonso, Pinzoni, Americo Vespucio, dentre outros

Codigo Brasiliense, ou, Collecção das leis, alvarás, decretos, cartas regias &c., promulgadas no Brasil desde a feliz chegada do Principe Regente N. S. a estes Estados

O Codigo Brasiliense reúne as primeiras leis promulgadas em solo brasileiro, desde o ano de 1808 até 1822, abrangendo todo o Período Joanino. Essas leis fazem parte dos primeiros impressos produzidos pela Impressão Regia, possuindo, portanto, a característica de incunábulos brasileiros. Segundo pesquisa da John Carter Brown Library, existem várias versões tipograficamente diferentes, não encadernadas, impressas possivelmente em Lisboa. As diferenças podem ser detectadas, particularmente, pela capital ornamentada E, cuja variante digitalizada encontra-se no site daquela instituição. É muito raro encontrar em um mesmo acervo os 3 volumes que compõem o Código e, mais ainda, encontrar exemplares completos. É obra importantíssima para a memória brasileira.

光纤光栅传感器干涉型解调仪的稳定性分析和改进

提出了一种利用两种不同温度系数的光纤光栅对来对解调仪的不稳定性进行改进的方法，并进行了理论分析，研究了影响该解调仪稳定性的几个因素。将所研制的传感器布设在东海大桥上，组成传感网络，并用改进后的光纤光栅解调系统对传感器的信号进行解调。在大桥竣工测试时，该传感解调系统表现出较好的性能。

利用二维光谱色散和透镜列阵改善靶面辐照均匀性

利用二维光谱色散平滑技术和透镜列阵(LA)来改善激光驱动器中靶面的辐照均匀性。通过消衍射透镜列阵可得到包络陡峭且中小空间尺度均匀性较好的焦斑。当在光路中加入二维光谱色散平滑单元后,光束在两个互相垂直的方向发生光谱色散,多光束干涉所引起的细密条纹也将在很大程度上被抹平,如果把横向热传导平滑效应也考虑在内,高空间频率的强度波动可进一步被消除。二维理论模拟结果表明采用该方案可获得顶部平坦边缘陡峭的焦斑,而且该方案无需仔细调整靶面的位置,实际应用较方便。

Simplified Formulae for the Estimation of Offshore Wind Turbines Clutter on Marine Radars

The potential impact that offshore wind farms may cause on nearby marine radars should be considered before the wind farm is installed. Strong radar echoes from the turbines may degrade radars' detection capability in the area around the wind farm. Although conventional computational methods provide accurate results of scattering by wind turbines, they are not directly implementable in software tools that can be used to conduct the impact studies. This paper proposes a simple model to assess the clutter that wind turbines may generate on marine radars. This method can be easily implemented in the system modeling software tools for the impact analysis of a wind farm in a real scenario.

Towards Application of One-Class Classification Methods to Medical Data

In the problem of one-class classification (OCC) one of the classes, the target class, has to be distinguished from all other possible objects, considered as nontargets. In many biomedical problems this situation arises, for example, in diagnosis, image based tumor recognition or analysis of electrocardiogram data. In this paper an approach to OCC based on a typicality test is experimentally compared with reference state-of-the-art OCC techniques-Gaussian, mixture of Gaussians, naive Parzen, Parzen, and support vector data description-using biomedical data sets. We evaluate the ability of the procedures using twelve experimental data sets with not necessarily continuous data. As there are few benchmark data sets for one-class classification, all data sets considered in the evaluation have multiple classes. Each class in turn is considered as the target class and the units in the other classes are considered as new units to be classified. The results of the comparison show the good performance of the typicality approach, which is available for high dimensional data; it is worth mentioning that it can be used for any kind of data (continuous, discrete, or nominal), whereas state-of-the-art approaches application is not straightforward when nominal variables are present.
