Design resolution

Borkowski and Lucas (1997) further explored the construction of combined array designs. The important contribution in their approach was to set up a framework for the different requirements on design resolution for different types of effects in robust design experiments. They proposed the concept of mixed resolution to characterize separately the resolution of the design for effects involving only design factors, only noise factors, or interactions between design and noise factors. 

Accurate (ionic) mass is the experimentally determined mass of an ion. The value obtained is a function of the design, resolution, tuning, and calibration of the mass spectrometer. 

Figure 1.11. Comparison of energy and momentum resolution for the CLEQ II detector and the DaBar design. Tlie shows the measured resolution for the 1.28 MeV line of with a full-size CsI(Tl) crystiU. It falls below the design goal, since only the noise of a single readout device is included, whereas the design resolution assumes that clusters of sixteen crystals, each read out with two diodes, are used.

The quadripolar spectrometers whose resolution is limited to about 2000 are of simpler design than the magnetic sectors and are less costly. They are often used in conjunction with gas chromatography (see section 3.3) for purposes of identification. 

For this experiment, as well as for the microtomography ( 3.2) we used the commercial desktop microtomography system Skyscan 1072 [5], the setup of which is sketched in Figure 1. For this instrument, which is designed to study relatively large objects with a diameter up to 50 mm, the source size is 8 pm, the distance source-detector is about 50 cm and the effective resolution of the detector is about 80 pm. For this system and this object, the global effective resolution a is estimated to be of the order of 50 to 100 pm [6]. 

The properties of the piezocomposite material mentioned above offer special benefits when the transducer is coupled to a material of low acoustic impedance. This especially applies to probes having plastic delay lines or wedges and to immersion and medical probes. These probes with piezocomposite elements can be designed to have not only a high sensitivity but also at the same time an excellent resolution and, in addition, the effort required for the probe s mechanical damping can be reduced. 

A recent design of the maximum bubble pressure instrument for measurement of dynamic surface tension allows resolution in the millisecond time frame [119, 120]. This was accomplished by increasing the system volume relative to that of the bubble and by using electric and acoustic sensors to track the bubble formation frequency. Miller and co-workers also assessed the hydrodynamic effects arising at short bubble formation times with experiments on very viscous liquids [121]. They proposed a correction procedure to improve reliability at short times. This technique is applicable to the study of surfactant and polymer adsorption from solution [101, 120]. 

The design and use of spectrographs or spectrometers involves a compromise between resolution—how close in wavelength two lines can be and still be seen as separate—and sensitivity—how weak a light can be observed or how...
