Modulated order

Figure 1.91 Selection of 2D modulated ordered lamellar phases that are partially disordered, but exhibit translational ordering in two dimensions. These gel phases exist half way between crystalline Lc states and completely fluid phases such as the Lai and Hn phases (Figs. 1.93 and 1.94). In lipid assembly terms, these represent the equivalent of secondary/tertiary structure formation.

The scanner has been constructed in modules which, for future applications, makes it easy to increase the length of the scanner for inspection of larger blades, by adding further modules to the system. In co-operation with LM Glasfiber and RIS0 it was decided to construct the first scatmer for inspection of blades with a length of max. 21m. In order to be able to scan primarily the bonded areas from the root to the tip of the rotor blade, a so-called X-unit module was constructed. The movement from the root to the tip of the blade was controlled by the P-scan system.

The Maier-Saupe tlieory was developed to account for ordering in tlie smectic A phase by McMillan [71]. He allowed for tlie coupling of orientational order to tlie translational order, by introducing a translational order parameter which depends on an ensemble average of tlie first haniionic of tlie density modulation noniial to tlie layers as well as / i. This model can account for botli first- and second-order nematic-smectic A phase transitions, as observed experimentally. 

The transition from smectic A to smectic B phase is characterized by tire development of a sixfold modulation of density witliin tire smectic layers ( hexatic ordering), which can be seen from x-ray diffraction experiments where a sixfold symmetry of diffuse scattering appears. This sixfold symmetry reflects tire bond orientational order. An appropriate order parameter to describe tlie SmA-SmB phase transition is tlien [18,19 and 20]... 

Electron-donating or -withdrawing properties of a substituent on the 4 and 5 positions have also been used in order to modulate the basicity in the hope to observe either hypsochromic or bathochromic shift (110). 

Industrial appHcations often require that bulk materials or Hquids be weighed in hoppers, silos, tanks, or reactor vessels, referred to collectively as vessels. Because they come in such a wide variety of si2es, shapes, and capacities, scales using these vessels as load receivers are not typically available as standard products. Vessels are usually custom-fabricated to suit a particular appHcation, then mounted on a scale. Some can be mounted on a standard scale such as a bench, portable, or floor scale. More typically, a number of weigh modules are used to support the vessel. This offers the scale designer great flexibiHty but certain precautions are necessary in order to constmct an accurate scale. Some of the more important factors associated with the design of vessel scales are discussed herein. 

In order to make a multipurpose plant even more versatile than module IV, equipment for unit operations such as soHd materials handling, high temperature/high pressure reaction, fractional distillation (qv), Hquid—Hquid extraction (see Extraction, liquid-liquid), soHd—Hquid separation, thin-film evaporation (qv), dryiag (qv), size reduction (qv) of soHds, and adsorption (qv) and absorption (qv), maybe iastalled. 

HoUow fibers are usuaUy on the order of 25 p.m to 2 mm in diameter. They can be made with a homogeneous dense stmcture, or preferably with a microporous stmcture having a dense permselective layer on the outside or inside surface. The dense surface layer can be integral, or separately coated onto a support fiber. The fibers are packed into bundles and potted into tubes to form a membrane module. More than a kilometer of fibers may be requited to... 

Fig. 1. Representative device configurations exploiting electrooptic second-order nonlinear optical materials are shown. Schematic representations are given for (a) a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, (b) a birefringent modulator, and (c) a directional coupler. In (b) the optical input to the birefringent modulator is polarized at 45 degrees and excites both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes. The appHed voltage modulates the output polarization. Intensity modulation is achieved using polarizing components at the output.
