Microheater Array Powder Sintering (MAPS) for Printing Flexible Electronics A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering by Nicholas Holt University of Arkansas Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, 2014 May 2018 University of Arkansas This thesis is approved for recommendation to the Graduate Council Wenchao Zhou, PhD Thesis Director Steve Tung, PhD Simon Ang, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Abstract Microheater array powder sintering (MAPS) is a novel additive manufacturing process that uses an array of microheaters to selectively sinter powder particles. MAPS shows great promise as a new method of printing flexible electronics by enabling digital curing of conductive inks on a variety of substrates. MAPS operation relies on establishing a precision air gap of a few microns between an array of microheaters, which can reach temperatures of 600°C, and a layer of conductive ink which can be deposited onto a flexible substrate. This system presents challenges, being: the fabrication of a microheater that can reach suitable temperatures in an acceptable time frame and is reliable, electronic control of a single microheater, electronic control of an array of microheaters, and precise control of the position of the array of microheaters relative to the substrate. This work describes the design and fabrication of a printer which uses this novel technology to print flexible circuit boards. Various simulations are discussed which are used to explore the parameters affecting the MAPS printing process. Then, a small microheater array is fabricated and controlled using an electronic circuit using a PID feedback loop. This microheater array is used in an experimental proof of concept machine to print conductive lines onto a flexible substrate. Finally, a prototype MAPS printer is developed which is capable of using an improved microheater array to print simple circuits onto flexible substrates. Acknowledgements I gratefully acknowledge the help of my lab mates for their continued support throughout my graduate career: Chao Sui, Edidiong Udofia, and Mahsa Montezeri. I would also like to thank Lucas Galvan Marques for his role in designing electronic components that were used for this project. I would also like to credit Steven Brown, who helped tremendously in creating the first proof of concept printer described in this thesis. Thank you to Errol Porter, Clint Hardee, and other members of the HiDEC staff at the University of Arkansas for their expert advice when fabricating components for this project. Lastly, thank you to my advisor Dr. Wenchao Zhou for helping me reach my potential; I have not met anyone else with as much passion for a project as him. And of course, thank you to the University of Arkansas and Oak Ridge Associated Universities for the funding which made this project possible.

  • RE<C: Heliostat Orientation Estimation Using a 3-Axis
    RE<C: Heliostat Orientation Estimation Using a 3-Axis Accelerometer Design Goals Early Attempts and Ideas Feedback Control System Sensor Requirements Pitch-Roll Articulation Review Derivation of Reflector Basis Vectors and Pitch/Roll Angles Angle Estimation Accuracy Mirror Offset from Roll Axis Determining the Mirror Normal when Using an Angle Offset Mount Conclusion Design Goals The sensing and control strategy for our heliostats, described in the heliostat control and targeting overview, split the design of our control system into two parts: 1. Rough heliostat orientation using an accelerometer, and 2. Precise on-target control using cameras and photometry. After testing many different designs, we built a rough orientation control system using a 3-axis accelerometer, able to sense and direct mirror orientation with close to one degree of precision (20 milliradians) for the entire motion range of the mirror. This level of precision is required for orientation tasks such as stowing the mirror in high winds and bringing the light spot close enough to the target for capture by the precise on-target tracking system. Cost reduction was the central goal directing the design decisions for our heliostat sensors and control system. It was critical to keep individual heliostat sensing and control costs low, since our heliostat field design called for the construction of hundreds to possibly thousands of heliostats. This document describes our approach to creating our rough orientation sensing system, and our approach to keeping costs down while reducing computational complexity. Early Attempts and Ideas Conventional heliostat designs use dead reckoning to align the reflectors with the the heliostat target or tower.

An interface for manipulating these elements is suggested, based on the concept of a disk-jockey turntable as a performance instrument. A system is developed around this idea, enabling optical pickup of visual informa- tion from physical media as input to processes on the computer. Software architecture(s) are discussed and examples are implemented, illustrating the potential uses of the interface for the purpose of creative expression in the virtual domain.

This involved overcoming inherent limitations of the underlying system, such as camera lag and sensor saturation. A motion detection algorithm is proposed which reliably detects the stages of a vertical throw and copes with the system's limitation. Experiments show that the proposed method is capable of increasing peak prediction accuracy by more than 80%. i Contents Abstracti 1 Introduction1 2 Materials and Methods2 2.1 Set-up.................................2 2.1.1 Motion Sensing with Smart Phones.............2 2.2 Physical Model of a Vertical Throw.................3 3 ThrowMeApp7 3.1 The Android Hardware API.....................8 3.1.1 Camera API.........................9 3.1.2 Sensors API.......................... 10 3.2 Data Handling (Model)....................... 11 3.3 Motion Detection and Prediction (Controller)........... 13 3.3.1 The Throw Detection Algorithm.............. 14 3.3.2 Peak Prediction........................ 16 3.3.3 Orientation Detection.................... 18 3.4 User Interface (View)........................ 18 4 Experiments and Results 20 4.1 Quantifying Camera Delay...................... 21 4.2 A Typical Throw........................... 22 4.3 Peak Prediction Accuracy...................... 23 4.4 Rotation Stability.......................... 25 4.5 Camera Pictures........................... 25 ii Contents iii 5 Discussion and Conclusion 29 5.1 Discussion of Results......................... 29 5.1.1 Accuracy of Motion Detection...............
