This data collection effort was concentrated on the following components because of their extensive populations and repair action documentation pumps, valves, electrical positioning devices, electric motors, and drives. For each component type, preface pages and data summary tables are provided. Separate data summary tables are provided for each component type and are structured in a format that allows for the inclusion of the number of pieces of operating equipment, the total number of operating hours, total number of failures, and hourly failure rates with upper and lower bounds. 

Note The motor position on the baseplate must be adjusted in order to align the equipment, which may require machining or grinding of the rabbet fit. Remember, however, the rabbet fit is only a positioning device and is not a structural support.

Son very small linear stem-motion valves. A solenoid is usually gned as a two-position device, so this valve control is on/off. Special solenoids with position feedback can provide proportional action for modulating control. Force requirements of medium-sized valves can be met with piloted plug designs, which use process pressure to assist the solenoid force. Piloted plugs are also used to minimize the size of common pneumatic actuators, especially when there is need for high seating load. 

Fig. 1. The principle of a scanning probe microscope. The sample surface is scanned line by line with a probe by using a fine positioning system (scanner). With a coarse positioning device, the distance between the sample and the probe is stepwise reduced until the interaction regime is reached and the fine positioning system rules the scanning of the surface. The vibration isolation shields the micrscope from external vibrations.

One important aspect of solar farm optimization is the tracking of the sun s trajectory while concentrating the sunlight, so that the mirror reflectors or troughs will be correctly rotated around both axes while concentrating the solar radiation. In order to maximize the collector efficiency, solar and position detectors (Sections 3.15 and 3.17 [Chapter 3]) are used. Some of the tools of positioning include the use of machine vision (Section 3.12) and a variety of positioning devices (Section 3.15). 

The tablet is a small digitizer, perhaps fourteen inches on a side. Using either a stylus or cursor, it can feed back coordinates (within a fixed frame of reference, thus it is an absolute positioning device) to the machine which can be used to select a point of interest or enter data by tracing a curve. Those coordinates must be interpreted by software in terms of the screen coordinate system since is it unlikely that they will match.

Grouts are materials which permanently maintain the original level and alignment of machinery or equipment and transfer all loads to the foundation when shims and other temporary position devices are removed. A grout is a fluid material in an uncured state which subsequently hardens... 

Development of an in vivo or extracorporeal device that supplements reduced tissue function. The in vivo device is encapsulated within a semi-permeable membrane to allow for provision of a therapeutic molecule to the site while protecting the cells from the host immune system. An externally positioned device would provide deficient tissue function compounds through a tube directed to the body site while avoiding cellular contact with the immune system. 

Two key issues in SECM are speed and resolution. These are tied to the nature of the available tips and the techniques used to move them in the vicinity of the sample. One approach to greater speed is the use of multiple tips. There are a number of approaches to the fabrication of an array of tips. A problem with these arrays is alignment of the array with the sample so that all of the tips are at the same or a known distance from the sample. This can be accomplished by having each tip on its own controllable positioning device, such as an array of cantilevers with individual piezoelectric control (32,33). For example, 50 cantilevers with a 200-/xm period (to cover a span of 1 cm) were fabricated with integrated piezo sensors and zinc oxide actuators. Such an array provided 35 A resolution and a 20 kHz bandwidth. A difficulty with such arrays is the complexity of the instrumentation needed to use them. Each sensor in the array essentially needs its own driver and potentiostat. An alternative would be an array of individually addressable tips on a single chip that all move in the x, y, and z directions in unison. This would require some additional means to orient and align the array chip... 

Over the years, many different approaches based on these two basic principles have been developed.4 9 We decided to focus on developing an approach to transfer analytes by coupling capillary tubing with electrospray ionization devices. From this basic design principle, we were able to develop a simple three-position device for the analysis of proteomic samples by mass spectrometry.7,10 We developed this principle further into an automated nine-position device,6 and to perform frontal analysis separations of peptides.11 This chapter reviews these early developments in coupling microfabricated devices to mass spectrometers. 

At that point, we had achieved our goal to demonstrate that a micro-fabricated device can be coupled to a mass spectrometer and efficiently used for the rapid and sensitive identification of proteins separated by 2D gel electrophoresis. Although we toyed with the idea of more complex devices (we even designed a 42-position device which is still sitting on the author s desk), we quickly decided instead to move towards expanding the types of sample manipulation that could be done on and off the device. 

By using automatic position devices, such as stepper motors, DC motors, electrically operated car aerial motors, a combination of pneumatic actuators and motor-driven screw assemblies, and pneumatic elevators, the positions of the sample probe (intermediate and final positions) and duration at each...
