Although T-shaped micromixers are very simple in structure and are easy to fabricate by conventional mechanical machining technology, they can be very effective in achieving fast mixing (Figure 7.14). At a low flow... 

Several machining technologies can be used to microstructure workpieces. These different technologies are often complementary and are sometimes used together. Machining technologies can be classified into mechanical, chemical,... 

Abstract. Electroanalytical methods are highly compatible with micro- and nano-machining technology and have the potential of invasive but non-destmctive cell analysis. In combination with optical probes and imaging techniques, electroanalytical methods show great potential for the development of multi-analyte detection systems to monitor in real-time cellular dynamics. 

Reactive mixing of crumb rubber with polypropylene by melting represents an innovative way of recycling old and waste rubber. A machine technology can easily be applied through injection molding. Results are examined for quasi-static and dynamic tests applied to the final materials. Moreover, the properties of this elastomer alloy remains constant after several recycling processes [59]. 

Despite the ongoing evolution of paper machine technology no engineering solution has yet been found for the problem of deposits. Part of the problem is that paper is still made predominantly from the pulping of trees and water from a nearby source. Even after pulping and bleaching, the fibres can still have pitch particles associated with them and similarly, untreated water may contain bacteria, spores and fungi.

Task-Technology tradeoffs Task analyses may be performed for systems that have yet to be developed but for which functional and performance requirements have been defined. In these cases, the analysis will be based on the defined requirements combined with data on human performance capacities and available machine technology. These analyses can be used to assess the workload, technology, and performance tradeoffs expected with different human-machine system configurations.

Ultraprecision is defined as the state, quality, or condition of being extremely precise. Therefore, an ultraprecision machine is characterized by extremely accurate motion, dimensions, or machining capability. Technical terms with ultraprecision include ultraprecision machine tool, ultraprecision diamond turning machine, ultraprecision machining technology, ultraprecision metrology, etc.
