The laboratory scale process developed by Navarro [Navarro, 2001 ] for the production of pyroelectric ceramics was used as a case study for the design of a high-level methodology for the scale-up of ceramic processes. A ...

Abstract Objective: Proprietary intermediate telehealth devices are those which are specifically designed as connectors between the entities of telehealth systems. This article seeks to understand what are the capabilities ...

This thesis characterizes the effects on shrinkage in microinjection moulding. The literature review considers four branches of investigation (material properties, processing parameters, mould design and specimen design). ...

High density and low grain size are essential for the production of thick-film ceramics, in order that they possess adequate strength for any subsequent processing steps. In this paper sintered density and grain size ...

The provision of service is increasingly becoming a key driver for delivering customer value. This emphasis on service provision is promoted by approaches such as Product-Service Systems (PSSs) that deliver value in use ...

Micro-manufacturing is a fast developing area due to the increasing demand for components and systems of high precision and small dimensions. A number of challenges are yet to be overcome before the full potential of such ...

The following paper describes a design of experiments investigation of the deep reactive of pillar structures on a silicon wafer. The etched wafers would subsequently be used as masters for the fabrication of nickel mould ...

This paper presents the current state of microfluidic design from a practitioner’s perspective. The capture of microfluidic design practice was facilitated through a combination of industry survey and expert interviews, ...

Intellectually and technologically, the art of design is one of the oldest forms of mankind’s expression of creativity. Since the early days of primitive man to now, humans have discovered needs that require functional ...

Microsystem technologies require relatively strict quality requirements. This is because their functionalities are usually dependent on stringent requirements of dimensions, masses or tolerances. When mass-producing ...
