Curved features

Photolithography using gray-scale photomasks enables the generation of micropatterns that have multilevel and curved features on photoresist upon a single exposure [363]. 

In addition, when electric current flows through the electrolyte. Joule heat is released. Heat exchange occurs between the formation tank (or battery) and the surrounding atmosphere. The reactions during the different formation stages all provide individual contributions to the overall thermal balance of the system. Consequently, the temperature curves feature a maximum, and with attenuation of the exothermic chemical reactions of sulfation, the temperature of the tank (battery) decreases slowly. Battery manufacturing practice has shown that the optimum temperature range for the formation process is between 25 and 55°C. 

The L curve isotherm is characterized by an initial slope that does not increase with the concentration of a substance in the soil solution. This property is the result of a high relative affinity of the soil solid phases for the substance at low concentrations coupled with a decreasing amount of adsorbing surface as the surface excess of the adsorbate increases. The example of o-phosphate adsorption in Fig. 4.1 illustrates a universal L-curve feature an isotherm that is concave to the concentration axis because of the combination of affinity and steric factors. 

Taperless channel-net consists of symmetrical microcantilevers as well as curved features as shown in Figure 10.1. The thickness of the stainless steel sheet was only 35 pm. EMM machining parameters were 5 MHz pulse frequency, 75 mm drilling depth, and 40% duty ratio. The duty ratio was increased to 40% from 35% to make the channel width uniform along with the width of drill point. Initially,... 

This type of smooth undulating feature on the fracture surface is exemplified in Wallner lines. In Figure 9.3, the Wallner lines are the curved features on the fracture surface. Wallner lines are often created by stress pulses generated as the crack interacts with inclusions in the body or with surface imperfections. (Those stress pulses usually consist of a compression followed by a dilatation so that the general wave form approximates the O stress in Figure 3.2a.)...

The point of this simulation, in the case of Pedersen and Svensmark (1987) was to compare simulated and experimental curve features such as peak current ratios (CV) or cathodic/anodic current ratios (DSPC), as a function of the kinetic parameters. This is a typical procedure. One has, of course, no guarantee that the postulated mechanism is correct sometimes the simulations will indicate this and sometimes, unfortunately, a simulation cannot distinguish between different possible mechanisms (see Amatore and Saveant, 1979, for such a case. 

Wang et al. (1988), Herndon et al. (2001), etc. The rate constants at 298 K is 5 57 (298 K) = 2.0 X 10 cm molecule s, which is relatively slow as compared to the reaction of OH + O3 (see 5.2.1) by an order of magnitude. Furthermore,, the Arrhenius plot shows a curved feature as shown in the above formula, which is more pronounced under 250 K. This implies the activation energy decreases at low temperature. 

Some important features for MEMS layout editors, in eomparison to IC layout editors used in microelectronics chip design, are the ability to lay out curved features (e.g., non-Manhattan geometries), beeause many MEMS devices are not formed from rectangular shapes as are typieally used in microelectronic layouts. Another valuable feature is the availability of foundry design kits that include information about the layers and processing steps that are used for various MPW processes. Some examples are... 

The mechanism of influence of NO2 on the oxidation and spontaneous combustion of hydrocarbons, primarily at low pressures, was discussed in detail in [13]. For the slow oxidation of methane, as in the case of other alkanes, addition of NO2 was demonstrated to shorten or even eliminate (starting from a certain amount) the induction period, causing no changes in the qualitative and quantitative composition of the oxidation products. For the oxidation of a 15% CH4—85% air mixture at T = 480—510 °C and P = 300 Torr in the presence of a small (1.37%) NO2 additive, the heat-release curve featured two peaks [175], the first of which, according to the authors, is associated with the formation of formaldehyde, whereas the second, with its decomposition. This explanation is difficult to accept, because in the absence of NO2, the formation and decomposition of formaldehyde also occur, but no double peak is observed. A double exothermic peak in the oxidation of methane in the presence of NO2 was observed in [176] and for the oxidation of propane in [177].

R-curve determination. If such load-displacement data are analyzed, the relationships of the rising R-curve features or level to the microstructure of the refractory, its aggregate character, may indeed prove to be very interesting, undoubtedly revealing a great deal about the crack growth process in refractories.
