La carta sobre los gigantes patagones del abate de Coyer (1767) y su articulación en torno a la utopía en el siglo de las luces

Gutiérrez Berner, Camila January 2009 (has links)
La Carta sobre los gigantes patagones, publicada por primera vez en 1767, con el título de “Lettre au docteur Maty, sécretaire de la Société Royale de Londres, sur les géants patagons”, fue escrita por el abate francés Francois-Gabriel Coyer a su amigo personal, el médico inglés Mathew Maty, miembro de la Royal Society. Francois Gabriel-Coyer (1707-1789) también perteneció a la Royal Society, sin embargo tiene un recorrido intelectual distinto al de Maty: estudió humanidades y filosofía, y fue jesuita hasta que abandonó la orden en 1736, la que sería suprimida en 1773, bajo el mandato del papa Clemente XIV. La Carta es uno de las tantas obras de la producción de Coyer, registrándose además La nobleza comerciante (1756) y Chinki: la historia de la Cochinchinesa, útil y aplicable a otros países (1768), que contienen importantes reflexiones en torno a temas económicos. Su texto sobre los patagones, ha sido vinculado por la crítica con el género utópico. Sin embargo este nexo no ha sido suficientemente explicitado, suponiéndose como una constatación obvia. El problema de estudio que surge entonces es la problematización de dicha tesis, a partir de la cual se desprenden tres objetivos fundamentales: el primero, explicitar y definir el concepto de utopía en sus rasgos generales. El segundo, determinar los rasgos esenciales del género en el marco de la modernidad ilustrada. Y, finalmente, determinar el vínculo efectivo entre la Carta y la utopía, concebida como género político-ficcional que manifiesta una tipo de viajero particular: el viajero “de gabinete”.

ON-MACHINE MEASUREMENT OF WORKPIECE FORM ERRORS IN ULTRAPRECISION MACHINING

Gomersall, Fiona January 2016 (has links)
Ultraprecision single point diamond turning is required to produce parts with sub-nanometer surface roughness and sub-micrometer surface profiles tolerances. These parts have applications in the optics industry, where tight form accuracy is required while achieving high surface finish quality. Generally, parts can be polished to achieve the desired finish, but then the form accuracy can easily be lost in the process rendering the part unusable. Currently, most mid to low spatial frequency surface finish errors are inspected offline. This is done by physically removing the workpiece from the machining fixture and mounting the part in a laser interferometer. This action introduces errors in itself through minute differences in the support conditions of the over constrained part on a machine as compared to the mounting conditions used for part measurement. Once removed, the fixture induced stresses and the part’s internal residual stresses relax and change the shape of the generally thin parts machined in these applications. Thereby, the offline inspection provides an erroneous description of the performance of the machine. This research explores the use of a single, high resolution, capacitance sensor to quickly and qualitatively measure the low to mid spatial frequencies on the workpiece surface, while it is mounted in a fixture on a standard ultraprecision single point diamond turning machine after a standard facing operation. Following initial testing, a strong qualitative correlation exists between the surface profiling on a standard offline system and this online measuring system. Despite environmental effects and the effects of the machine on the measurement system, the capacitive system with some modifications and awareness of its measurement method is a viable option for measuring mid to low spatial frequencies on a workpiece surface mounted on an ultraprecision machine with a resolution of 1nm with an error band of ±5nm with a 20kHz bandwidth. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)
