  • Examining the Microlinks Technology Co., Ltd. UM-CAM Richard J
    Examining the Microlinks Technology Co., Ltd. UM-CAM Richard J. Nelson Introduction I usually buy “show specials” at the Las Vegas January Consumer Electronics Shows that I have attended for over 40 consecutive shows. Last year I bought a Microlinks Technology UM-CAM USB microscope to test and explore. I used a five dollar bill as a subject to illustrate the capability of the UM-CAM in 2010. See: http://www.msscweb.org/public/articles/Exploring_a_New_Five_Dollar_Bill.pdf The 2 megapixel (1600 x 1200) UM-CAM is attractive because it is advertised to work both as a webcam and as a USB microscope. This year I once again visited the Microlinks Technology booth, ™ , and they said that they had improved their UM-CAM in three ways. 1. They now include a test film with the product - as seen in Fig. 7d. 2. The software is improved with added features including a scale and the ability to make measurements – not part of this article/review. 3. The holder and case have been improved (mostly cosmetic) - as seen in blue Fig. 1. TX! Photo Fig. 1 – Last year’s and this year’s CES Show Specials are compared. It is a USB microscope and a webcam. The UM-CAM is quite handy and easy to use with its wide range of focus from a few mm to several meters. It has its own white LED lighting for use in the very close microscope application. The four LEDs are brightness level controlled to fully off. See Fig. 1 above. Also see Fig. 2 which is a self- portrait made by photographing a mirror.

  • An Illuminated Stage Richard J
    An Illuminated Stage Richard J. Nelson A microscope is like a good car, it should be powerful and strong. Unlike a car, however, a good microscope needs an assortment of accessories which, in some cases, may be more expensive than the microscope itself. Many simple accessories may be assembled from everyday items and most microscope users improvise in one way or another. I bought three USB Microscopes at the 2011 CES Show in Las Vegas, and I have been evaluating them - see Fig. 1. As with most product categories you will find a full range of designs – cheap to robust. Electronics technology also gets added to the mix when USB microscopes are considered. You may spend less than $100 or you may spend over $1,000. It was the CES “show specials” (low end) that prompted me to evaluate these three USB microscopes. Fig. 1 – My three 2011 CES “show special” USB microscopes. The three designs are shown at the right. See Appendix A for additional details. Each one has its unique advantages and disadvantages. As a technical writer I frequently need to include photos of small items so I thought that perhaps having a small simple USB microscope handy might make capturing small subject images easier. The image quality of these designs are getting better each year and the highest resolution design I saw at CES (expensive) was 5 megapixels. My Nikon stereo microscope and Sony 10.2 Megapixel DSC-TX1 usually handles most of my small subject image requirements. In the “old days” this would be called macro photography – where the subject image is one to ten times larger on the film.

  • Self-Healing of Impact Damage in Vascular Fiber-Reinforced Composites
    SELF-HEALING OF IMPACT DAMAGE IN VASCULAR FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITES BY KEVIN RICHARD HART DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Aerospace Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Scott White, Chair Professor Nancy Sottos Professor Philippe Geubelle Professor John Lambros ABSTRACT Vascular fiber-reinforced composites mimic biological systems to allow pluripotent multifunctional behavior in synthetic engineering materials. In this dissertation, methods are explored for recovering mechanical performance of a composite material after an out-of-plane impact event using vascular self-healing technologies. To date, the critical damage modes which occur during out-of-plane impact that most significantly contribute to reductions in post- impact performance have not been identified and methods for delivering healing agents to those critical regions using internal vascular networks has not been explored. In this dissertation, out-of-plane impact damage is quantified and correlated with reductions in post- impact mechanical performance. Additionally, healing of impact-induced damage is demonstrated using vascular delivery of epoxy and amine based agents. An alternate healing agent chemistry for potential use in vascular healing schemes is also discussed. This work is the first to detail methods for healing impact-induced damage in vascular composites using segregated healing agent components and paves the way for the adoption of self-healing vascular materials in commercial applications. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I’m extremely fortunate in my life to be surrounded with amazing people. Adversity presents itself in many ways throughout the course of a graduate career and without the presence of great people in my life, I would not have completed this journey.

  • An Innovative Low Cost Two-Dimensional Noncontact
    Repurposing Technology: An Innovative Low Cost Two-Dimensional Noncontact Measurement Tool by Linda L. Graham A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Technology Approved October 2011 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Russell Biekert, Chair Narciso Macia Robert Meitz ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2011 ©2011 Linda L. Graham All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Two-dimensional vision-based measurement is an ideal choice for measuring small or fragile parts that could be damaged using conventional contact measurement methods. Two-dimensional vision-based measurement systems can be quite expensive putting the technology out of reach of inventors and others. The vision-based measurement tool design developed in this thesis is a low cost alternative that can be made for less than $500US from off-the-shelf parts and free software. The design is based on the USB microscope. The USB microscope was once considered a toy, similar to the telescopes and microscopes of the 17 th century, but has recently started finding applications in industry, laboratories, and schools. In order to convert the USB microscope into a measurement tool, research in the following areas was necessary: currently available vision-based measurement systems, machine vision technologies, microscope design, photographic methods, digital imaging, illumination, edge detection, and computer aided drafting applications. The result of the research was a two- dimensional vision-based measurement system that is extremely versatile, easy to use, and, best of all, inexpensive. i DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to the friendship and memory of Patricia Anne McAllister Moffatt. 1942 – 2011 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis took almost a year to complete.
