Mechanical fabrics

Last but not least, two epoch-marking technologies have been successfully implemented in 1989 and 1994 active optics, with the 3.5 m ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT), and segmentation, with the 10 m Keck. In the former, real-time adjustments of the primary mirror support forces and of the alignment of the secondary mirror guarantee consistent, optimal performance, and allow relaxation of opto-mechanical fabrication tolerances. These adjustments being derived from wavefront analysis of off-axis stellar sources located outside the scientihc held of view, imply minimal operational overheads at the beneht of reliable, substantial performance improvement... 

This device is a generically simple reactor comprising a micro-channel Y-piece section and an elongated reaction micro channel attached [26, 27]. The microstructures were mechanically fabricated in PMMA using a flat end mill. A top plate was joined with the microstructured plate by baking under vacuum. The reaction temperature was fixed using a hot-plate. 

Although prosthetic heart valves have been extensively and successfully anployed clinically, problems still exist during the postoperative period concerning thromboembolism. Infection and valvular Incompetence. Infectious prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) remains as a serious and potentially devastating consequence of valve replacement surgery with mechanically fabricated...

The influence of the microfabrication method on the adhesion is clearly visible from the comparison of etched stainless steel versus mechanically fabricated rectangular microchannels in Figure 5. A sol-gel coating of the different microstructures was performed by Kreuder et al. (2011) yielding alumina layers with a thickness of roughly 2 pm.

Starting from a 35-70 mm wide blank tape (a), sprocket holes and window patterns are mechanically fabricated in the film by die punch or laser cut (b). The film is then laminated to 35 p-m thick copper foil (c). Photoresist film is deposited on copper and patterned through a mask (d), before beam leads are formed by chemical etching (e). In the final stage, the connecting pads along the periphery of the integrated circuit are bonded to copper leads (f). 

Semifinished shapes are rod, tubing, and sheet, which will be mechanically fabricated into other parts for imidentified end uses. Often, semifinished shapes are used to make prototype parts for evaluation or even small numbers of commercial parts. This is an important market in terms of size, but its growth rate is less than many others, and it is very competitive. There has been considerable consolidation taking place in the last several years, so that the remaining processors are able to exercise more pressure on suppliers prices than previously. This is an imusual business segment since shape producers rarely have direct contact with end users, their route to market being almost entirely through distributors.
