    2nd International Conference on MicroFluidic Handling Systems 8.-10. October 2014 University of Freiburg Germany Proceedings 2nd International Conference on MicroFluidic Handling Systems 1 8 { 10 October 2014, University of Freiburg, Germany Welcome to the 2nd International Conference on Microfluidic Handling Systems Dear colleagues, We are pleased to welcome you to the 2nd International Conference on Microfluidic Handling Systems (MFHS 2014) in Freiburg, as a follow-up to the successful first conference in Enschede in 2012. Worldwide, accurate handling – i.e. analysis, dosage, measurement and control – of small and extremely small mass flow rates of both gases and liquids is becoming more and more important, driven by numerous applications. Examples of economically and societally relevant applications are e.g. improvement of medical infusion pump systems, increasing the efficiency of processes that extract oil from oil wells (enhanced oil recovery), systems that measure the energy content (calorific value or Wobbe Index) of natural gas and bio- gas, monitoring of ground water pollution and the production of pharmaceuticals by means of flow chemistry. Whether in analytical instrumentation, flow chemistry, energy, semiconductor industry, food & beverage or life sciences – microfluidic handling systems are facing two major trends: (1) a need for accurate measure- ment and calibration facilities and (2) a need for complete functional systems rather than for the individual components. In the future, the impact of this field of research may become bigger and potentially large target markets may arise, especially when spin-off companies start manufacturing and selling their products, systems or pilot plants. The MFHS 2014 focuses mainly on the technology, components, devices and systems that enable the application in microfluidic systems.

En este trabajo se realiza un análisis histórico-artístico de las influencias de carácter tecnológico y cultural de las obras de arte en vidrio del periodo 1800-1950 en el denominado Studio Glass Movement. Los objetos artísticos de vidrio realizados por soplado dependen tanto del estado de la tecnología vidriera como de la experiencia y sentido creativo del artista. Dichas obras de arte experimentaron un gran impulso en el periodo mencionado como consecuencia del desarrollo técnico del vidrio en el ámbito industrial y del avance de las investigaciones científicas. El vidrio se erigió protagonista del Art Nouveau y Art Déco, y actualmente ocupa un lugar preferente en la escultura y las artes decorativas contemporáneas. Estas obras en vidrio han contribuido contundentemente al nacimiento y expansión del Studio Glass Movement, la tendencia contemporánea de arte en vidrio de mayor repercusión escultórica. Se describen las propiedades técnicas y artísticas de las obras representativas de las fábricas, talleres o escuelas de los países donde obtuvieron un mayor desarrollo. Asimismo, se desvelan las características de la escultura contemporánea en vidrio deudoras de las técnicas de ejecución tradicionales y de la trasmisión de la experiencia artística entre vidrieros.

  • VAL SAINT LAMBERT by Alan Thornton
    VAL SAINT LAMBERT by Alan Thornton The Belgian company Val Saint Lambert Below are six examples of Val Saint Lambert paperweights from the 19th Century, are probably most famous for their cut showing typical designs that can include millefiori canes, sulphides, plaques, and crystal ware, but they have made a wide twisted ribbons, set on a range of solid coloured or mica grounds. variety of paperweights throughout the last 150 years. The main factory is based in Seraing, near Liège, on the River Meuse, but for much of their history they owned additional glass factories. One was nearby at Jemeppe (from 1883 to 1952) and two were near Namur: d'Herbatte (from 1879 to 1935) and Jambes (from 1880 to 1931). The main factory produced heavy lead crystal items, Herbatte used 'semi-crystal', Jambes made lamp glasses, and Jemeppe a range of products. Paperweights were made at Seraing, and almost certainly at Jemeppe and Herbatte on occasions. Figure 3. Heart plaque Figure 4. Spaced millefiori The 19th century paperweights are probably the largest, and include various designs with millefiori canes, lampwork, and sulphides - sometimes combined. One common feature is a multi-coloured torsade, often set so low in the dome it is hidden from above (Figure 1). Figure 5. Religious sulphide Figure 6. Three pigeons sulphide Figure 1. Typical multi-coloured VSL torsade Another characteristic is the flat ground base which shows clear signs of the thick encasement glass, much as if one polished down the base of a Whitefriars paperweight (Figure 2).

Avant les développements technologiques récents de l’insertion de fibres optiques dans le béton afin d’obtenir un béton intrinsèquement translucide, cette dénomination a été utilisée pour des structures combinant le béton et des briques de verre translucides. Le principe trouve à s’appliquer pour des parois verticales mais particulièrement dans des NOTE DE LA RÉDACTION réalisations destinées à capter une lumière zénithale : plafonds, coupoles, terrasses, soupiraux... L’utilisation du verre coloré a permis aussi le développement d’une dimension artistique. L’auteur replace les quelques exemples bruxellois conservés dans le contexte international.

  • Le Val-Saint-Lambert, Seraing-Radio, Histoires De Jeunes, Etc
    SERAING, OUGRÉE, JEMEPPE au passé Dépôt: Ougrée 1 Trimestriel: nº7 - 1996 100 F. éd. resp. Luce Minet 4102 Seraing Avec l'appui de l'Administration communale de Seraing Souvenirs des années 30 - 50 : Le Val-Saint-Lambert, Seraing-Radio, Histoires de Jeunes, etc. Le père Germain et ses fils étaient tailleurs au Val-Saint-Lambert (photo Germain) ~ 1 ~ Le Val-Saint-Lambert Les cristaux du Val-Saint-Lambert ont encore un renom international, qui explique en grande partie l'attraction exercée par le site sur de nombreux visiteurs. Il est très particulier que de l'art soit le résultat d'une activité industrielle. Les gens du Val formaient d'ailleurs, à l'époque, un groupe assez différent de l'ensemble de la population sérésienne. Les récits des témoins permettent de mieux comprendre comment tout cela fonctionnait. Extraits d'une conférence d'un ancien cadre du Val-St-Lambert (présentée en mai et novembre 1993 à la Commission Historique de Cointe, Sclessin, Fragnée et Bois d'Avroy) Le sable, la soude ou la potasse, le calcaire ou le plomb sont les éléments de base entrant dans la fabrication du verre ou du cristal. On assistera plus tard à la diminution du plomb et à l'augmentation des autres éléments pour produire des cristaux plus légers. La différence entre le verre et le cristal est l'indice de réfraction, indice très limité dans le verre, indice très élevé dans le cristal. [...] Dans la région liégeoise, le cristal apparaît vers 1775. A la Révolution française, les cristalleries de Saint-Louis fondent à Vonêche (région de Givet) une verrerie pour fabriquer du cristal au plomb.
