Solution-processable green phosphorescent iridium(III) complexes bearing 3,3,3-triphenylpropionic acid fragment for use in OLEDs
2018
New solution-processable materials based on well-known green iridium(III) heteroleptic complexes (ppy) 2 Ir(acac) and (ppy) 2 Ir(pic) were acquired by chemical modification of ppy ligand with functionable hydroxyl groups and subsequent esterification with 3,3,3-triphenylpropionic acid fragment. Photoluminescence quantum efficiencies up to 0.90 were measured for the compounds in solution. Emission characteristics in pure solid films and different guest-host systems with hole transporting materials were investigated. Green light emitting OLEDs (organic light emitting devices) was prepared and characterized.
RGB imaging system for mapping and monitoring of hemoglobin distribution in skin
2011
A prototype R-G-B imaging system for mapping of skin hemoglobin distribution has been designed and tested. Device basically consists of a commercial RGB sensor (CMOS, max. frame rate 87 fps for VGA resolution), RGB LED ringlight illuminator and orthogonally orientated polarizers for reducing specular reflectance. The system was examined for monitoring of hemoglobin concentration changes during specific provocations - arterial/venous occlusions and heat test. Hemoglobin distribution maps of several skin malformations were obtained, as well.
The development of nature-inspired gripping system of a flat CFRP strip for stress-ribbon structural layout
2021
Abstract The elegant stress-ribbon systems are efficient in pedestrian bridges and long-span roofs. Numerous studies defined corrosion of the steel ribbons as the main drawback of these structures. Unidirectional carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a promising alternative to steel because of lightweight, high strength, and excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance. However, the application of CFRP materials faced severe problems due to the construction of the anchorage joints, which must resist tremendous axial forces acting in the stress-ribbons. Conventional techniques, suitable for the typical design of the strips made from anisotropic material such as steel, are not useful for СF…
Computer vision profilometer: equipment and evaluation of measurements
1991
Abstract This paper describes a new equipment that measures roughness values by a computer vision (CV) technique. Measurements carried out by a CV profilometer are also evaluated. A laser source (power 2 mW), a cylindrical lens and a charge coupled device (CCD) TV-camera with a suitable optical system form an image of the profile of the sample under inspection. This image is then transformed into a binary image by thresholding and the line that divides the bright zone from the dark zone is the sample profile. From this line the characteristic roughness values can be calculated. The roughness measurements are carried out both by the CV profilometer and a stylus profilometer on eight specimen…
Transillumination imaging through biological tissue by single-pixel detection
2015
One challenge that has long held the attention of scientists is that of clearly seeing objects hidden by turbid media, as smoke, fog or biological tissue, which has major implications in fields such as remote sensing or early diagnosis of diseases. Here, we combine structured incoherent illumination and bucket detection for imaging an absorbing object completely embedded in a scattering medium. A sequence of low-intensity microstructured light patterns is launched onto the object, whose image is accurately reconstructed through the light fluctuations measured by a single-pixel detector. Our technique is noninvasive, does not require coherent sources, raster scanning nor time-gated detection…
Numerical Procedure For Residual Stresses Prediction In Friction Stir Welding
2011
The prediction of residual stresses is a relevant and, under many points of view, still open issue for a proper welding process design. In the present paper a 3D FE model, with general validity for different joint configurations, was used to simulate the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) process of butt joints through a single block approach. The model is able to predict the residual stresses by considering thermal actions only, thanks to a new time efficient approach. A good agreement between calculated and experimentally measured data was found; the effectiveness of the presented numerical procedure was evaluated by comparing the calculation times of the proposed method with the ones of already…
Ultrafast buffering by molecular gas
2011
A simple molecular gas sample can be used to achieve ultrafast optical buffering in two-dimensional optical imaging, thus serving as a promising extension of the well-developed liquid-crystal display technology.
Femtosecond time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy operated at sample illumination from the rear side
2019
We present an advanced experimental setup for time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM) with sub-20 fs resolution, which allows for normal incidence and highly local sample excitation with ultrashort laser pulses. The scheme makes use of a sample rear side illumination geometry that enables us to confine the sample illumination spot to a diameter as small as 6 μm. We demonstrate an operation mode in which the spatiotemporal dynamics following a highly local excitation of the sample is globally probed with a laser pulse illuminating the sample from the front side. Furthermore, we show that the scheme can also be operated in a time-resolved normal incidence two-photon PEEM mode w…
Aperture-edge scattering in MeV ion-beam lithography. I. Scattering from a straight Ta aperture edge
2009
Collimators are widely used to define MeV ion beams. Recent studies have shown the capability of collimators to define beams of MeV ions with sub-100nm dimensions. Such nanometer beams have potential applications in MeV ion-beam lithography, which is the only maskless technique capable of producing extremely high aspect-ratio micro- and nanostructrures, as well as in high-resolution MeV ion-beam-based tomography. The ion scattering from the collimator edges that define the beam can be a resolution-restricting factor in these applications. Scattering processes at edges are difficult to study using conventional simulation codes because of the complicated geometry. In this part of the work, th…
Ultrasonic phased array inspection of wire plus arc additive manufacture samples using conventional and total focusing method imaging approaches
2019
In this study, three aluminium samples produced by wire + arc additive manufacture (WAAM) are inspected using ultrasonic phased array technology. Artificial defects are machined using a centre drill, ø 3 mm, and electrical discharge machining (EDM), ø 0.5-1 mm, in a cylindrical through-hole topology. The samples are first inspected using a single-element wheel probe mounted on a KUKA robot in order to investigate the feasibility of using a conventional ultrasonic transducer approach. Unfortunately, the wheel probe is found to be unsuitable for scanning the WAAM specimens and ultrasonic phased arrays are employed next. The set-up includes 5 MHz and 10 MHz arrays (128 elements) in direct cont…
