Sintetização dos erros termicamente induzidos em máquinas de medir a três coordenadas / Synthesization of thermally induced errors in coordinate measuring machinesValdés Arencibia, Rosenda 28 July 2003 (has links)
O desempenho das Máquinas de Medir a Três Coordenadas (MM3Cs) fica limitado por diversos fatores, que atuam de maneira conjunta gerando os denominados erros volumétricos. Para a temperatura de 20ºC os erros geométricos podem ser considerados constantes, uma vez que variam muito lentamente com o tempo. Porém, se a temperatura é alterada estes erros mudam em grandeza e comportamento, gerando os denominados erros térmicos. Alguns trabalhos têm sido desenvolvidos com o objetivo de estudar e modelar os erros térmicos, porém os resultados alcançados são, ainda, incipientes. Este trabalho apresenta o equacionamento das componentes do erro volumétrico das MM3Cs considerando as influências térmicas. A medelagem foi aplicada a uma MM3C do tipo \"Ponte Móvel\" e combina transformações homogêneas, técnicas de regressão e mínimos quadrados. As grandezas dos erros geométricos e das variações termicamente induzidas destes erros foram coletadas utilizando-se do interferômetro laser, do esquadro mecânico, do nível eletrônico, etc. Os valores das temperaturas foram monitorados através de termopares do tipo T (Cobre-Constantan). Verificou-se que a Máquina não experimenta deformações, além, das provocadas pela livre dilatação dos seus componentes. A partir do modelo proposto foram sintetizadas as componentes do erro volumétrico, os resultados foram discutidos e comparados com aqueles obtidos através da medição de um anel padrão, constatando-se a excelente capacidade do modelo na previsão do erro volumétrico da máquina. No caso, erros da ordem de grandeza de 10 μm foram reduzidos em pelo menos 75%, enquanto que para erros maiores que 10 μm a eficiência do modelo foi de 90%. / Performance of coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) is limited by numerous factors that operate simultaneously and generate volumetric errors. The most significant portion of the volumetric error is produced by geometric errors. At the temperature of 20ºC, geometric errors can be considered at steady states, once their variation in time is considerably slow. However, if temperature is modified, these errors change in magnitude and behaviour, generating the thermal induced errors. Some work has been developed aiming to study and model the thermal errors, but the achieved results are still incipient. This work presents the derivation of the components of the volumetric error considering its thermal influences. The method was employed and applied to moving bridge CMM and combines homogeneous transformation, regression techniques and least squares methods. The magnitudes of the geometric errors and its thermally induced variations were collected by means of a laser interferometer system, mechanical square, electronic level, etc. Temperature data were monitored by means of T-type thermocouples (copper-constantan). It was verified that the CMM was not susceptible to deformations other than the ones due to the dilatation of its components. From the proposed model, the components of volumetric error were synthesized; the results were discussed and compared to the ones obtained from the measurement of a ring plug, observing the outstanding ability of the model to predict the volumetric error of the machine. Errors of 10 μm in magnitude were reduced in at least 75%, whilst errors greater than 10 μm, presented a reduction efficiency of 90%. It was verified that the CMM was not susceptible to deformations other than the ones due to the dilatation of its components.

Improving the shutter-less compensation method for TEC-less microbolometer-based infrared camerasTempelhahn, A., Budzier, H., Krause, V., Gerlach, G. 29 August 2019 (has links)
Shutter-less infrared cameras based on microbolometer focal plane arrays (FPAs) are the most widely used cameras in thermography, in particular in the fields of handheld devices and small distributed sensors. For acceptable measurement uncertainty values the disturbing influences of changing thermal ambient conditions have to be treated corresponding to temperature measurements of the thermal conditions inside the camera. We propose a compensation approach based on calibration measurements where changing external conditions are simulated and all correction parameters are determined. This allows to process the raw infrared data and to consider all disturbing influences. The effects on the pixel responsivity and offset voltage are considered separately. The responsivity correction requires two different, alternating radiation sources. This paper presents the details of the compensation procedure and discusses relevant aspects to gain low temperature measurement uncertainty.

High Resolution Optical Tweezers for Biological StudiesMahamdeh, Mohammed 06 February 2012 (has links) (PDF)
In the past decades, numerous single-molecule techniques have been developed to investigate individual bio-molecules and cellular machines. While a lot is known about the structure, localization, and interaction partners of such molecules, much less is known about their mechanical properties. To investigate the weak, non-covalent interactions that give rise to the mechanics of and between proteins, an instrument capable of resolving sub-nanometer displacements and piconewton forces is necessary. One of the most prominent biophysical tool with such capabilities is an optical tweezers.
Optical tweezers is a non-invasive all-optical technique in which typically a dielectric microsphere is held by a tightly focused laser beam. This microsphere acts like a microscopic, three-dimensional spring and is used as a handle to study the biological molecule of interest. By interferometric detection methods, the resolution of optical tweezers can be in the picometer range on millisecond time scales. However, on a time scale of seconds—at which many biological reactions take place—instrumental noise such as thermal drift often limits the resolution to a few nanometers. Such a resolution is insufficient to resolve, for example, the ångstrom-level, stepwise translocation of DNA-binding enzymes corresponding to distances between single basepairs of their substrate. To reduce drift and noise, differential measurements, feedback-based drift stabilization techniques, and ‘levitated’ experiments have been developed. Such methods have the drawback of complicated and expensive experimental equipment often coupled to a reduced throughput of experiments due to a complex and serial assembly of the molecular components of the experiments.
We developed a high-resolution optical tweezers apparatus capable of resolving distances on the ångstrom-level over a time range of milliseconds to 10s of seconds in surface-coupled assays. Surface-coupled assays allow for a higher throughput because the molecular components are assembled in a parallel fashion on many probes. The high resolution was a collective result of a number of simple, easy-to-implement, and cost-efficient noise reduction solutions. In particular, we reduced thermal drift by implementing a temperature feedback system with millikelvin precision—a convenient solution for biological experiments since it minimizes drift in addition to enabling the control and stabilization of the experiment’s temperature. Furthermore, we found that expanding the laser beam to a size smaller than the objective’s exit pupil optimized the amount of laser power utilized in generating the trapping forces. With lower powers, biological samples are less susceptible to photo-damage or, vice versa, with the same laser power, higher trapping forces can be achieved. With motorized and automated procedures, our instrument is optimized for high-resolution, high-throughput surface-coupled experiments probing the mechanics of individual biomolecules. In the future, the combination of this setup with single-molecule fluorescence, super-resolution microscopy or torque detection will open up new possibilities for investigating the nanomechanics of biomolecules.
