LabVIEW ger en snabb och enkel tillgång till att styra instrument och en mycket stor databas med drivrutiner för DAQ-kort och olika datorgränssnitt (GPIB, serie, osv.). Många instrument och datorer kan anslutas till GPIB-bussen.  Detta kan ge en praktisk modell för utveckling av instrumentets styrprogram i LabVIEW med hjälp av GPIB-gränssnittet. Ett program i LabVIEW 8.2 med hjälp av GPIB-bussen kan kopplas till t.ex. multimetern (HP-34401A) för att mäta och visa multimeters noggrannhet. Men på grund av fel i drivrutiner för GPIB-gränssnittet kunde jag inte köra programmet med GPIB-bussen. Genom att använda LabVIEW 8.2 med hjälp av DAQ-kort kan en PID-regleringsalgoritm simuleras. PID konstrueras med virtuella instrument som innehåller alla nödvändiga komponenter och utrustning som krävs för att reglera någon linjär eller olinjär process exempelvis att nivåreglera två tankar i serie. Här stöter vi på alla de grundläggande regulatorer och får möjlighet att bygga PID med LabVIEW på ett enkelt sätt. Det finns två metoder för att bygga PID. Den första är med matematiska funktioner och den andra är med ’’Simulations functions control’’. Arbetet visar att bägge metoderna fungerar bra för att lösa uppgiften jämfört med färdiga PID-controls på LabVIEW.

The main purpose of this thesis was to examine the communication problems with the DLTS set up in the Division for Electricity at Ångström Laboratory in Uppsala, Sweden, and to make the DLTS software complete. The set up consisted of a C/V meter, a pulse generator, a temperature controller and a PC with a control program written in LabVIEW. It was found that the software had been constructed to fit another set of instruments than the set up currently used at Ångström Laboratory. The task was therefore to properly integrate the correct control commands of those instruments into the software. / DLTS investigation of wide bandgap materials / Diamond electronics

The binding between the 45 kDa N-terminal domain of the a subunit of the GPIb-IX-V complex (GPIbαN) on the platelet membrane and the A1 domain of von Willebrand factor (VWF-A1), a multimeric protein circulating in the plasma, plays a key role in platelet adhesion and thrombus initiation at sites of cut-injury and atherosclerotic plaque rupture where blood vessels are subjected to high haemodynamic shear. A fundamental yet unresolved issue is how haemodynamic force upregulates this interaction (binding kinetics) and how a mechanical stimulus is translated into a biochemical signal (mechanotransduction). In order to address above issues, we setup a new biomembrane force probe (BFP) with the drifting reduction, temperature control and concurrent fluorescence imaging. My research findings are summarized into three aims: 1. VWF regions surrounding A1 hinder A1-GPIbα interaction at zero force, which is relieved by increasing force that stabilizes the interaction, giving rise to a VWF-GPIbα catch bond. 2. Three transport-related physical factors: receptor-ligand separation distance, Brownian motion and diffusivity govern the VWF-GPIbα association. 3. Mechanical force and structural variation regulate platelet signaling via the engagement duration of GPIbα mechanosensor. My thesis study advances our understanding of the biophysical and structural basis of how the VWF activation, its interaction with GPIbα and signal transduction are regulated by force when platelets' haemostatic functions are most needed.

An optical network technology is the network technology that meets given requirements for a fast and reliable long-distance information transmission. Optical fibres can offer undoubted features where other communication technologies are near their limits or stand in front of insurmountable problems. The intensive research of last years is focused on optical transmission features utilization in the optimal way. Especially an optical signal processing in active network devices without a need for electrical conversation is a topic of high interest. V-Mux is an optical network device that accomplishes above mentioned requirements for modern optical network devices. It is a device that multiplexes and drops an optical signal in its native light form into or from optical fibre. Basic micro electro-mechanical components, which the V-Mux is built from, are high end precise devices. The whole complex V-Mux has to meet strict rules and specifications as the components itself. That is why a control system has to be included in the production process to keep quality and right functionality. This diploma thesis is focused on a development of the testing system that will help in the automated control procedure in the V-Mux production. A brief introduction to optical network technologies and a description of the GPIB bus form a first part of the thesis. The next part focuses on the V-Mux itself and the proposal of the test station with its component description. The last part deals with a developing of the software for the V-Mux testboard and a user application that will be used for the test system initialization.

La future installation SPIRAL2 du GANIL, à Caen, permettra de produire une gamme étendue de noyaux exotiques avec des intensités très importantes. Cependant, ces faisceaux ne pourront pas être directement utilisés pour réaliser certaines études de haute précision et devront d'abord être purifiés. C'est pour réaliser ce travail que des équipes du CENBG, du MPIK (Heidelberg), du CSNSM, du LPC Caen, du GANIL et de l'IPNO développent un double-piège de Penning dans le cadre du projet PIPERADE. Ce double-piège nécessitant un travail de mise en forme préalable du faisceau (diminution de l'émittance transverse et mise en paquet), le CENBG est en charge de la réalisation d'un refroidisseur-regroupeur quadripolaire radiofréquence : le GPIB. C'est ce développement qui a constitué la majeure partie de mon travail de thèse, notamment en ce qui concerne les simulations de ce refroidisseur-regroupeur dont les résultats ont permis de trouver une méthode innovante pour la mise en paquet et de valider sa conception mécanique. Nous disposons également d'une source d'ions afin de pouvoir tester le GPIB et le double-piège et il m'a fallu la remonter, la comprendre et la caractériser pour que ces tests soient ensuite possibles. Dans un second temps j'ai aussi participer à l'analyse de l'expérience E622S menée au GANIL et qui avait pour but de déterminer précisément la demi-vie de 17F. Ce travail n'a pas permis d'améliorer la précision sur la demi-vie de 17F mais nous avons cependant quelques doutes sur les 2 précédentes mesures et sur leur détermination du taux de contamination de leurs échantillons. / The future SPIRAL2 installation of GANIL, at Caen, will produce large range of exotic nuclei with very high intensities. Nevertheless, these beams could not be used directly for some high precision studies and will have to be purified first. To achieve this work, teams of CENBG, MPIK (Heidelberg), CSNSM, LPC Caen, GANIL and IPNO develop a double Penning trap in the framework of the PIPERADE project. Because this double Penning-trap needs some shaping work (reduction of transverse emittance and bunching), the CENBG team is in charge of the realisation of a radio-frequency quadrupole cooler and buncher : the GPIB. This developpement work was the main part of my PhD work, especially for the simulations of this cooler buncher whose results lead us to find a new bunching method and allowed us to approve its mechanical design. We also have an ion source to be able to test both GPIB and Penning trap and I had to reassemble it, to understand it and to characterise it before these tests could be achieved. In a second time I also took part to the analysis of the E622S experiment which aimed to determined precisely the 17F half-life. This work did not lead to a more precise determination of this half-life but we now have some doubts concerning the 2 last measurements and their way to determine the contamination rate of their radioactive samples.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 2001 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / Automating Telemetry Tracking Systems Operational Readiness Tests is a concept that was introduced at White Sands Missile Range in the early 1980’s. The idea was to determine the condition of a Telemetry Tracking System in a reliable manner in a short time as possible. A series of RF and Servo Tests designed to determine the condition of a Telemetry Tracking System was implemented using HP BASIC. The latest personal computers are faster and have more storage capacity plus the capability to be programmed in higher level languages such as C/C++ and LabView. This technology makes it easier to automate system tests. Many of these tests need to be conducted just prior to supporting a mission. Some tests are required to be performed on mobile systems after moving the system from one location to another, especially if the move was over long distances and rugged terrain. Tests such as G/T are conducted before each mission because it yields accurate information on the Figure of Merit, or, System Sensitivity. Noise Figure Measurements are more difficult to perform to determine the System Sensitivity since modern RF Subsystems have pre-amplifiers with Noise Figures of less than 1.0 dB. The “down-sizing” of personnel increases the possibility of failure in mission support scenarios due to the many critical readiness tests needed to assess the Telemetry Tracking Systems. Also, conventional test methods can be time consuming and are subject to human error. This paper describes four critical tests that have been automated to improve reliability of the test data and decrease the amount of time required to conduct the tests. The “C/C++” language was used to write the automation programs. More tests will be automated later.
