Abstract:

In this paper, we extend the non-Abelian mirror proposal of two of the authors from two-dimensional gauge theories with connected gauge groups to the case of [Formula: see text] gauge groups with discrete theta angles. We check our proposed extension by counting and comparing vacua in mirrors to the known dual two-dimensional [Formula: see text] gauge theories. The mirrors in question are Landau–Ginzburg orbifolds, and for mirrors to [Formula: see text] gauge theories, the critical loci of the mirror superpotential often intersect fixed-point loci, so that to count vacua, one must take into account the twisted sector contributions. This is a technical novelty relative to the mirrors of gauge theories with connected gauge groups, for which critical loci do not intersect fixed-point loci and so no orbifold twisted sector contributions are pertinent. The vacuum computations turn out to be a rather intricate test of the proposed mirrors, in particular as untwisted sector states in the mirror to one theory are often exchanged with twisted sector states in the mirror to the dual. In cases with nontrivial IR limits, we also check that the central charges computed from the Landau–Ginzburg mirrors match those expected for the IR SCFTs.

Abstract:

In the experimental fusion reactor ITER, the plasma-facing component of each optical and/or laser diagnostic needs to be based on reflective optics with at least one mirror (first mirror) facing the thermonuclear plasma. The different kinds of radiation emanating from the burning plasma (neutrons, neutral atoms, electromagnetic radiation) create hostile operating conditions for the first mirrors. Therefore, a special program has been set up under the ITER framework aimed at solving the first mirror problem. This paper will review the main results in this field that have been obtained in the Institute of Plasma Physics, National Science Center “Kharkov Institute of Physics and Technology” (in many cases in cooperation with groups of other countries, as indicated in corresponding parts of the manuscript) during long-term investigations directed to find a solution of this problem,i.e., to find a material and accompanying precautions in order to satisfy the requirements for first mirrors. The main efforts were devoted to finding solutions to overcome the impact of the most severe deteriorating factors resulting in degradation of the optical properties of mirrors: sputtering by charge exchange atoms and deposition of contaminants. The obtained results are focused on: the effects of long term sputtering on mirror specimens fabricated from different metals with different structures (polycrystals, single crystals, metal film on metal substrates, amorphous), the effects of contaminating film and the possible protection to avoid of its appearance, the role of chemical processes for some metal mirrors, and the choice of material of laser mirrors.

Abstract:

In deep X-ray lithography (DXRL), synchrotron radiation is applied to pattern polymer microstructures. At the Synchrotron Laboratory for Micro and Nano Devices (SyLMAND), Canadian Light Source, a chromium-coated grazing-incidence X-ray double-mirror system is applied as a tunable low-pass filter. In a systematic study, the surface conditions of the two mirrors are analyzed to determine the mirror reflectivity for DXRL process optimization, without the need for spectral analysis or surface probing: PMMA resist foils were homogeneously exposed and developed to determine development rates for mirror angles between 6 mrad and 12 mrad as well as for white light in the absence of the mirrors. Development rates cover almost five orders of magnitude for nominal exposure dose (deposited energy per volume) values of 1 kJ cm−3to 6 kJ cm−3. The rates vary from case to case, indicating that the actual mirror reflectivity deviates from that of clean chromium assumed for the experiments. Fitting the mirror-based development rates to the white-light case as a reference, reflectivity correction factors are identified, and verified by experimental and numerical results of beam calorimetry. The correction factors are related to possible combinations of a varied chromium density, chromium oxidation and a carbon contamination layer. The best fit for all angles is obtained assuming 7.19 g cm−3nominal chromium density, 0.5 nm roughness for all involved layers, and an oxide layer thickness of 25 nm with a carbon top coat of 50 nm to 100 nm. A simulation tool for DXRL exposure parameters was developed to verify that the development rates for all cases do coincide within a small error margin (achieving a reduction of the observed errors by more than two orders of magnitude) if the identified mirror surface conditions are considered when calculating the exposure dose.

Abstract:

The first thing to do before planning the surgical treatment of unilateral defects or the asymmetry of the facial area is probably establishing adequate mid-plane for comparison and analysis of the normal and affected side. In such cases, a mirror image can be useful to obtain customized and optimized mid-plane for specific individuals considering the degree of the defect and asymmetry. With the concept of the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm, the surface-based registration of the initial structure and mirrored structure allow us to generate a mirror plane that bisects the mid planes of each structure. This mirror plane would improve the quality of pre-operative evaluation and provide an appropriate start point for the treatment plan with as few errors as possible. Hence, the aim of this article is to introduce a method to create a mirror plane that can be assisting in increasing the accuracy of evaluation and analysis so a precise treatment plan would follow consequently.

Abstract:

Thumb reconstruction in mirror hands is usually done by pollicization. However, objective pinch strength and power grip data in mirror hands following pollicization are lacking. Alternative thumb reconstruction techniques include doing nothing, rotation osteotomy or syndactylization of the radial digits. In this article, we report a series of four cases of mirror hand deformity where the thumb was not reconstructed by formal pollicization. Two cases had non-classic mirror hand deformity (the forearm contained a radius and an ulna) and the other two had classic ulnar dimelia. In all cases, thumb reconstruction was done by keeping one of the radial fingers in place (without pollicization) as the new thumb; and then (if required) performing a secondary osteotomy procedure to rotate the new thumb into pronation. The four cases were recalled back to the clinic for functional assessment at ages 20 years, 5 years, 4 years and 2 years, respectively. The overall hand function was considered ‘fair’ in the case with concurrent unique features, and was considered ‘excellent’ in the other three cases. It was concluded that the technique of thumb reconstruction used in the current series is an acceptable option. However, objective measurements, especially with regards to pinch strength and power grip, need to be compared with the pollicization technique.

Abstract:

Prone positioning is frequently used for spinal surgery and is associated with risks including perioperative visual loss and stroke. Frequent eye checks and careful neck positioning are recommended. In our hospital’s current model, anesthesia providers are required to kneel on the operating room floor beneath operating room table, exposing themselves to hazards such as bodily fluids and back and knee strain. This maneuver is both time consuming and unpleasant. While new devices that enable easier visualization of patients in the prone position exist, they are costly and not universally compatible with all operating room tables. Our objective for this feasibility pilot study was to determine if simple, extendable mirrors increase anesthetist comfort during these cases. A nonrandomized survey-based feasibility pilot study was performed, evaluating comfort while performing eye checks with extendable lighted mirrors compared to the standard kneeling practice. A total of 41 nurse anesthetists and anesthesiology residents were analyzed. A mixed model logistic regression demonstrates a three-fold improvement in comfort with the prone position after mirror use (OR = 3.34; 95% CI: 1.06–10.48; p = 0.039). The frequency of eye checks did not change significantly with introduction of the mirror. Use of the extendable mirror improves anesthesia provider comfort with patients in the prone position. We postulate that it may be a useful addition to our practice.

Abstract:

X-ray beamlines in modern synchrotron radiation sources make extensive use of grazing-incidence reflective optics, in particular Kirkpatrick–Baez elliptical mirror systems. These systems can focus the incoming X-rays down to nanometer-scale spot sizes while maintaining relatively large acceptance apertures and high flux in the focused radiation spots. In low-emittance storage rings and in free-electron lasers such systems are used with partially or even nearly fully coherent X-ray beams and often target diffraction-limited resolution. Therefore, their accurate simulation and modeling has to be performed within the framework of wave optics. Here the implementation and benchmarking of a wave-optics method for the simulation of grazing-incidence mirrors based on the local stationary-phase approximation or, in other words, the local propagation of the radiation electric field along geometrical rays, is described. The proposed method is CPU-efficient and fully compatible with the numerical methods of Fourier optics. It has been implemented in theSynchrotron Radiation Workshop(SRW) computer code and extensively tested against the geometrical ray-tracing codeSHADOW. The test simulations have been performed for cases without and with diffraction at mirror apertures, including cases where the grazing-incidence mirrors can be hardly approximated by ideal lenses. Good agreement between theSRWandSHADOWsimulation results is observed in the cases without diffraction. The differences between the simulation results obtained by the two codes in diffraction-dominated cases for illumination with fully or partially coherent radiation are analyzed and interpreted. The application of the new method for the simulation of wavefront propagation through a high-resolution X-ray microspectroscopy beamline at the National Synchrotron Light Source II (Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA) is demonstrated.

Abstract:

La intel·ligència artificial ha estat un concepte que captiva la humanitat des de fa mil·lennis. Des de l'antiguitat, els humans estan obsessionats amb la idea de crear un ésser humà artificial perfecte amb diferents objectius, com ara la companyia o l'ajuda domèstica, i han escrit sobre ells en textos antics de diverses cultures. Això va evolucionar cap a la literatura de protofantasia o protociència-ficció a l’alta edat mitjana. Tanmateix, no va ser fins al segle XIX que la influent obra de Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818), va reunir diferents aspectes de la creació artificial de vida humana artificial en el debat d’una comprensió psicològica social més àmplia. Amb l'arribada dels mitjans audiovisuals al segle XX, aquestes representacions dels humanoides creats artificialment o d'altres creacions amb cert grau de consciència han poblat tant la gran pantalla com la televisió. Aquesta tesi se centra en les connexions socials d'aquestes representacions de la Intel·ligència Artificial, a partir de la sèrie de televisió Black Mirror (Charlie Brooker, 2011), així com en les pel·lícules Ex Machina (Alex Garland, 2014) i Her (Spike Jonze, 2014), per tal d’analitzar la relació entre la Intel·ligència Artificial i els humans des de perspectives i paradigmes diversos. L’anàlisi audiovisual de les obres seleccionades és seguida d’una exploració de com s’estan produint aquests recents avenços tecnològics en la nostra societat actual, per relacionar-los amb les advertències que proposen les obres seleccionades i que ofereixen una lectura per al futur que requereix la implementació de normatives estrictes sobre la Intel·ligència Artificial per tal d’alleujar les angoixes humanes respecte a la tecnologia.

La inteligencia artificial es un concepto que fascina a la humanidad durante milenios. Desde la antigüedad, los humanos han estado obsesionados con la idea de crear un humano artificial perfecto para diferentes fines, como la compañía o la ayuda doméstica, y han escrito sobre ello en textos fundacionales de diversas culturas. Esto se convirtió progresivamente en literatura de protofantasía o proto-ciencia ficción en la Alta Edad Media. Sin embargo, no fue hasta el siglo XIX cuando la influyente obra Frankenstein (1818) de Mary Shelley reunió diferentes aspectos de la creación de un ser humano artificial, discutidos dentro de una comprensión psicológica y social más amplia. Con la llegada de los medios audiovisuales en el siglo XX, estas representaciones de humanoides creados artificialmente o de otras creaciones con cierto grado de conciencia han poblado tanto la gran pantalla como la televisión.

El análisis audiovisual de las obras seleccionadas va seguido de una exploración sobre cómo estos avances tecnológicos recientes se están produciendo en nuestra sociedad actual, vinculándolos con las advertencias que formulan las obras seleccionadas y ofreciendo una lectura de futuro que requiere la implementación de una estricta normativa en torno a la Inteligencia Artificial para aliviar las ansiedades humanas sobre la tecnología.

Artificial Intelligence has been a concept that has infatuated humankind for millennia. Since antiquity, humans have been obsessed with the idea of creating a perfect artificial human for different aims such as companionship or domestic help, and ancient cultures have devoted foundational texts to the artificial human. This literary occupation gradually evolved into proto-fantasy or proto-Science Fiction literature in the early middle ages. However, it wasn’t until the 19th century that Mary Shelley’s influential work Frankenstein (1818) brought together different aspects of creating an artificial human discussed within a broader social and psychological understanding. With the advent of audiovisual media in the 20th century, such representations of artificially created humanoids or other creations with some degree of consciousness have populated both the silver screen and television. This thesis focuses on the societal connections between such representations of Artificial Intelligence, focusing on the TV show Black Mirror (Charlie Brooker, 2011) as well as the films Ex Machina (Alex Garland, 2014) and Her (Spike Jonze, 2014) by analyzing the Artificial Intelligence - human relationships from a variety of different perspectives and paradigms. The audiovisual analyses of the selected works are then followed by an examination of how such recent technological developments are taking place in our current society. These texts under examination exhort us to beware the potential dangers of AI technology, which require implementation of strict regulations around the Artificial Intelligence framework in order to alleviate human anxieties about technology. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, technology, technology and society, Science Fiction, dystopia, film studies, society.

Bibliography: leaves 163-169.
How do history classes reflect the ways in which teachers and students in Cape Town schools are dealing with their nation in transition? I ask through this research. To address this question, I developed a methodology based on ethnographic methods in the belief that I could gain a unique perspective by being in the history classrooms and in schools themselves for sustained periods of time. I spent three weeks in each of four schools with different histories: Peninsula High, Transkei High, Plain High, and Central High. I have presented my representations of these schools each as a separate case study. Through extracts from interviews with teachers and students, moments of classroom lessons and discussions, and descriptions of informal interactions in various school settings, I have constructed narratives to explore what is going on in schools in a time of transition. I have used the textual devises of narrative and rhetoric to highlight the situations of teachers and students in schools and to contextualise and to problematise the different ways in which they were dealing with an education system in transition. I trace the common threads that ran through history teaching in each school and juxtapose the thoughts and actions of teachers and students. In so doing, I have attempted to create conversations between teachers and students from different schools. These conversations seek to mirror first how teachers and students were dealing with education and history teaching in a time of transition, not only in isolation, but also collectively; and, secondly, to examine what was working, what wasn't, and why. It is an endeavour to provide an always unfinished, yet thought-provoking, discourse about where education and history teaching might go from here.

Santis, Esteban. "Towards the finite a case against infinity in Jorge Luis Borges." Honors in the Major Thesis, University of Central Florida, 2012. http://digital.library.ucf.edu/cdm/ref/collection/ETH/id/614.

Full text

Abstract:

The role of infinity as an antagonist in Jorge Luis Borges's oeuvre is undeniable. His stories in El jardin de senderos que se bifurcan (1941), Ficciones (1944), and El Aleph (1949) exhibit Borges's tendency to evoke dreams, labyrinths, mirrors, and libraries as both conduits for infinity and sources of conflict. Oftentimes, Borges's characters experience discomfort upon encountering the limitations of secular temporal succession. This discomfort is rooted in Borges's pessimism about the subject which is explored in Borges's most comprehensive essay on the issue of time: "A New Refutation of Time." Consequently, this thesis considers Borges's attitude towards the issue of time as postulated in "A New Refutation of Time" and exhibited in his early fiction, continues to acknowledge infinity as a fundamental conflict in Borges's work, and proceeds to search for a solution to this conflict. The analysis in this thesis relies heavily on a comparative study of the themes and symbols in Borges's fiction in order to establish a pattern wherein infinity is portrayed negatively. More importantly, the use of interviews, biographies, and Borges's own fiction, facilitates the construction of cohesive conception of time in his work. Subsequently, this study looks to establish a solution to the problem of infinity and establish a new pattern wherein there is a positive resolution to the narrative. Ultimately, the goal of this thesis is to acknowledge the problem of infinity in Borges's work and then propose a way to escape it.

Abstract:

For many years, theorists have turned to popular movies and books to help interpret the difficult principles of Jacques Lacan. However, one story that has gotten very little attention is Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and its derivative body of film adaptations. Both the novella and Rouben Mamoulian’s 1931 film are a small part of an intertextual body of work which contains scenes that play out the Lacanian principles of the mirror stage and the gaze very well. Since art imitates life, an in depth exploration of the way that these scenes play out can illuminate how Lacan’s abstract theories might look in the real life formation of identity and in male/female relations.

Abstract:

Sustainable Development is one of the most important arguments now a day. How we can make our world more sustainable in nature is the most significant phenomena for all of us. It is very difficult to transform the old, traditional and historically significant places to a more sustainable and modern in nature without hampering their values and historic resources. Cultural significances of old historic places represent the sense of connectivity and provide a continuation of past experience to the present and future generations (ICOMOS, 1999). These are the old urban characters which shapes the modern urban culture and identity over the time. They should treat as the most important belongings of history to go forward towards more advanced future. Future is always shaped by the past. Hence if we forget our history; it would be very difficult to get proper guidelines for future development. It is necessary for us to preserve our deteriorating heritage resources to develop our own future. However, globalization, rapid and uncontrolled urbanization and technological advancement make these attempt challenging. Urban heritage conservation in a very integrated way would be one of the solutions for conserving old values and ideas with their own traditional nature. Conservation with sustainable manner should be taken as the top priority in all development planning agendas. Moreover, proper urban heritage conservation can help to transform historical places as the source of history, culture and socio-economic advancement for the local community and can change unsustainable community into more sustainable in nature. Dhaka is one of the major old cities in South Asia. It has a various combination of historic places and communities which give Dhaka a unique urban character. It has long history of urbanization and this urban growth pattern has influenced mainly by the topography, socio-economic and socio-cultural characteristics along with inherent morphological quality. However over population growth, uncontrolled urbanization, poor infrastructure facilities and weak urban management contribute to deteriorating these urban heritages rapidly. There are several discussions about urban heritage conservation of developing countries but little discussions have found which has focused on the conservation with empowering local traditional economy to develop the sustainable community. By enhancing local economy through proper planning and policy and promote sustainable tourism can contribute to conserve heritage resources of Dhaka and support sustainable community development. Two historically significant communities are chosen for representing Dhaka‟s heritage which is unique in nature for their traditional professions, significant local arts, handmade crafts, life style, religious and social festivals, urban fabric and built heritage. These are Benarashi Palli at Mirpur and Shakhari Bazaar at old Dhaka. They had a self-sustained economy in the past which becomes declining day by day due to rapid and poor urban development management and ignorance of historical values and ideas. However, still these two communities are trying to survive with their own efforts and make them represented of the glorious past to us. The main focus of this study is to revive their past well-sustained economic conditions with proper conservation of heritage resources and community participation. At the same time explore several guidelines of comprehensive conservation for sustainable urban community in Dhaka. The research identifies that there is a severe lacking of integrated conservation policies in Dhaka. In fact, the importance of heritage conservation is still very far away from national planning policies in Bangladesh. Dhaka has several development control agencies however; they are not so well-integrated and well-organized to provide a comprehensive heritage planning policies for Dhaka as well as Bangladesh. Moreover, incompetent rules and regulations with scattered organizations make this problem more severe. The study has tried to incorporate all these issues and formulate a comprehensive conservation planning for Benarashi Palli and Shakhari Bazaar as well as Dhaka. Furthermore, the study tries to accommodate sustainable tourism for providing a sustainable urban economy which has always ignored in Bangladesh context. However, tourism could be a strong way of promoting heritage conservation in Dhaka which has already followed by many developing countries in South Asia.

Abstract:

Introduces some key notions of cognitive (neuro)science including mirror neurons and perceptual and motor schemas. Much important processing may be subconscious. Af-fordances link multi-modal perception and action. Three linkages of architecture and neuroscience are noted: neuroscience of experience; neuroscience of design; and neuro-morphic architecture, “brains” for buildings. Examples are offered from Zumthor’s Therme at Vals (linking memory and imagination) and a case study of group creativity in choreography (illustrating four-dimensional planning).

Abstract:

Engravings of Mohammad Reza Beg were struck for his visit to France in 1715. Many of the images highlighted his foreign clothing and habits such as smoking and bathing, which in most cases were recognizable curiosities and already had stimulated trends in French fashion and culture. In France, consumers bought and consumed goods, such as coffee and expensive fabrics, that had been considered exotic but, by the time of the Beg’s visit in 1715, had been adapted as their own. The prints functioned to highlight his foreign tastes, but at the same time, they tempered his exoticness to make him accessible to the French and more like themselves.

Abstract:

The current paper presents an analytical model for the problem of squeezed film damping in micromirrors considering the bending of the supporting torsion microbeams. At the first the nonlinear Reynolds equation governing the behavior of the squeezed gas underneath the mirror is linearized. The resulting linearized equation is then nondimensionalized and analytically solved for two cases of the infinitesimal and finite tiling angle of the mirror. The obtained pressure distribution from the solution of the Reynolds equation is then utilized for finding the squeezed film damping force and torque applied to the mirror. The results show that in the case of the infinitesimal tilting angle, the squeezed film damping can be modeled with a linear viscous damping in both torsional and lateral directions. It is also shown that when the mirror’s rotation angle is small, with increasing the length of the mirror, the damping force and damping torque are increased. For the case of the finite tilting angle it was observed that the applied damping torque highly depends on the tilting angle of the mirror as well as the ratio of its vertical to angular velocity and as a result the effect of the vertical velocity of the mirror on the squeezed film damping force and torque applied to the mirror cannot be simply neglected. The results of this paper can be used for accurate dynamical modeling of the micromirrors under the effect of the squeezed film damping.

Abstract:

Abstract Side-view mirrors impact the aerodynamic performance of a vehicle due to the creation of extra drag force, noise, and vibration. This paper presents an alternative practical solution for improving aerodynamic performance of vehicle side-view mirrors. A CFD analysis is conducted for studying the airflow around a side-view mirror with different types of passive vortex generators (VGs) mounted on the bottom surface. VGs are small wingtips that are used to produce swirling motion in the flow stream. In recent years, VGs have been used in vehicle underbody diffusers to delay flow separation and to increase the flow control surface. This study aims to understand the effect of underbody VGs on the flow mechanisms downstream of the side-view mirror, and its impact on both drag and down forces. The turbulent flow behind the side-view mirror is investigated to determine the effects of different VG types and attack angles. Four types of VGs are considered in this work. Changes are made to the baseline model by either adding the VGs close to the frontal edge of the bottom surface of the mirror which aims to control the flow separation, or adding the VGs close to the back edge which aims to reduce the shedding area. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis using ANSYS Fluent is conducted to simulate the flow behavior by using three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes method with standard K-epsilon (K-ε) turbulence model. In order to incorporate the effect of vehicle body, each model is assembled on a quad-vehicle bluff body for analysis. The drag and down forces are numerically solved and compared with the results of the baseline model at the speeds of 15, 40, 60 and 80 miles per hour. It is concluded from the CFD analysis that: (1) Mounting VGs at the bottom surface of a side-view mirror reduces down force in most cases. (2) Setting underbody VGs at either the front or back edge of the mirror bottom surface has a slight effect on reducing drag force. (3) Multiple types of VGs show improved results with a 30 degree attack angle, which encourages future studies of VG applications with large attack angles.

Abstract:

The primary objective of this research is to develop an understanding of the flow mechanisms which induce side-view mirror vibrations. The unsteady nature of the flow over side-view mirrors causes unsteady aerodynamic load distributions and flow-induced vibrations on the mirror assembly. These vibrations generate blurred rear-view images and higher noise levels, affecting the safety and comfort of the passengers. Geometrical design features of side-view mirrors exacerbate the flow-induced vibration levels of the mirror assembly significantly. This work quantifies the impact of these design features on the vibration amplitude; develops a methodology for testing mirror vibrations in a small, low-speed wind tunnel using only the mirror of interest; and delves into the interactions between the bluff body mirror geometry and its wake. Two similar side-view mirror designs, a baseline design and a turn-signal design, were investigated. The baseline mirror has a sharp-edged corner near the trailing edge, while the turn-signal design has an edge with an increased radius of curvature for the tip profile. A laser-based vibration measurement technique was developed and used to quantify vibration levels. Flow visualization, Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Constant Temperature Anemometry (CTA), and Surface Stress Sensitive Film (S3F) techniques were used to understand the separation characteristics over the mirrors since the time-dependent changes in separation location directly affect the unsteady loading on the mirror. The flow over the turn signal mirror with larger tip radius has larger excursions in the separation location, a wider wake, increased unsteadiness, and higher vibration levels. Results at the high Reynolds numbers for these test conditions indicate the absence of a discrete vortex shedding frequency. However, vortical structures in the wake are correlated with unsteady movement of the separation location.

Abstract:

This paper presents a novel tool path planning approach for polygonal mirror scanning based Stereolithography (SL) process. Compared with traditional laser scanning and mask projection based SL process, the polygonal mirror scanning based process can build part with high surface quality and precision without losing the fabrication efficiency. As an emerging additive manufacturing process, no efficient tool path planning algorithm is available in current system. This paper presented a direct tool path planning algorithm without converting the 3-Dimentional model into 2-Dimentional contours. Different test cases are used to verify its efficiency and effectiveness. Compared with the commercial software, the proposed algorithm is several times faster. Physical parts are also built using the tool path generated by the proposed algorithm.

Abstract:

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes based on mask image projection such as digital micro-mirror devices (DMD) have the potential to be fast and inexpensive. More and more research and commercial systems have been developed based on such digital devices. However, a digital micro-mirror device such as a digital light processing (DLP) projector has limited accuracy and resolution. Based on the principle of pixel blending, we present a novel AM process by using multiple DMDs to significantly improve the accuracy and resolution of built components. In order to achieve the desired pixel blending result for a given layer, it is critical to plan the mask images that will be used by the multiple projectors. In addition, the mask image planning needs to compensate the calibrated light intensity in a projection image that is usually non-uniform and non-linear. We present a general optimized pixel blending method based on direct discrete search (DDS). Its mathematic model and computing method for the mask image planning are presented. Various test cases have been performed to verify its effectiveness and efficiency.

Full text

Abstract:

Heliostat canting (alignment of mirror facets) is known to have a major influence on the optical efficiency of heliostat fields and therefore on the power output of solar tower plants. In recent years several canting concepts were used, mainly on- and off-axis canting. Several new canting concepts, like stretched-parabolic or target aligned canting, were proposed in order to improve the performance of heliostats. As solar power plants become economically more attractive, knowledge about the influence of canting becomes more important. In this context, the influence of several factors on the canting method is discussed and optimal canting strategies are described. The considered factors comprise plant power level, heliostat position in the field, heliostat area, receiver dimension and site latitude. It is concluded that the target aligned tracking method is superior to all other variants in the majority of cases. As for the standard azimuth-elevation tracking methods, no one of these exhibits a clear advantage. It is only the on-axis method that performs worst in all cases.

Full text

Abstract:

In this paper a distributed dynamic model for a segmented primary mirror of an optical telescope is presented, based on the distributed modeling framework for spatially interconnected systems. The next generation of optical telescopes will employ highly segmented primary mirrors, which leads to a large-scale control problem. The distributed modeling technique allows for the design of scalable decentralized controllers that are better suited for such systems. A numerical seven segment mirror surface model is used as the benchmark system for comparing the performance between a scalable decentralized H∞ controller and a global H∞ controller. The closed-loop control simulation results show that both controllers perform comparably for the benchmark case. However when the number of the segments increases significantly (e.g. > 100) the scalable decentralized control will allow for a more tractable solution than the monolithic global control.

Abstract:

We present here an ellipsoidal timing detector in Radioactive Ion Beam Line in Lanzhou (RIBLL). The photons induced by radioactive beam ions passing through a thin plastic-scintillator foil BC422, emit from the foil center corresponding to one focal point of an aluminum ellipsoidal mirror and are reflected to another focus point at which the cathode of a photomultiplier tube locates. A time resolution of about 115ps is achieved for 12N and the counting rate up to 108 pps is allowed. The simulation was carried out using GEANT4 Monte Carlo toolkit. The photons total collection efficiency following projectile from different position, photon collection efficiency and time resolution of photon to photocathode of 3 different cases were calculated. Also the main factors influencing the detector’s time resolution and some proposals are given.

Abstract:

Solar tower with heliostat mirrors is an established technology for utility-scale solar energy harvesting. The setup has several advantages such as the capability to reach high temperature, modularity and ease of maintenance of the heliostats, containment of the high temperature zone, as well as overall low cost per harvested energy. Downscaling to medium and small scale applications is a desirable goal in order to attract more users of the technology. However, the downscaling often does not turn out economically feasible while using flat mirror heliostats, which are the norm in utility-scale systems. This is mainly due to the need to preserve the number (typically several hundred) of mirrors in order to maintain the solar concentration ratio. Use of parabolic mirrors instead can significantly reduce the required number of mirrors for smaller scale systems, but comes with new challenges. Unlike flat mirrors, the effective focal length of parabolic mirrors changes with the incidence angle causing undesirable variations in the concentration ratio and/or flux distribution at the receiver. To overcome this issue, we propose adjustment of the aim targets of the heliostat mirrors. Instead of aiming at the center of the receiver, aim targets are set as design variables and optimized to reduce undesirable peaks in the flux distribution. A special implementation of genetic algorithm is developed and applied to a case study of a nominal 10kW solar concentrator. Results of the study show significant improvement in flux distribution.
