Physical integrity mechanical support

Ensuring Physical Integrity. When objects become too weak to support their own weight, they must be mechanically supported. Some good... 

Modeling and simulation approaches for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) are essential to support a variety of needs ranging from exploration and understanding of physical mechanisms, to process optimization, process integration, and manufacturing control of CMP. In this chapter, we focus... 

These catalysts are manufactured as smooth wires with no internal pores and then woven into gauze pads. Mechanical rigidity is important since the reactors are usually large in diameter (i.e., 4-12 ft) and are used in the reactor with minimum physical support. Furthermore, the conditions of operation are quite severe with respect to temperature and corrosion, and thus metallurgical integrity must be maximized. The most important properties are the purity of composition, wire diameter, and mesh size as well as mechanical strength. 

The majority of DClM-MS instruments described to date have been built in-house in a small number of laboratories of leading physical chemists. Because the construction of these instruments requires very significant mechanical, electrical, engineering, and software support, the wider application of the technique has been limited markedly. The laboratories concerned must not only manufacture and integrate the mobility device but must assemble mass spectrometric instrumentation that competes with commercial offerings in terms of sensitivity, ease of use, reliability, capability of interfacing with separation science approaches, and acquisition and processing software.
