Abstract:
High-fidelity patient simulation (HFPS) has been hypothesized as a modality for assessing competency of knowledge and skill in patient simulation, but uniform methods for HFPS performance assessment (PA) have not yet been completely achieved. Anesthesiology as a field founded the HFPS discipline and also leads in its PA. This project reviews the types, quality, and designated purpose of HFPS PA tools in anesthesiology. We used the systematic review method and systematically reviewed anesthesiology literature referenced in PubMed to assess the quality and reliability of available PA tools in HFPS. Of 412 articles identified, 50 met our inclusion criteria. Seventy seven percent of studies have been published since 2000; more recent studies demonstrated higher quality. Investigators reported a variety of test construction and validation methods. The most commonly reported test construction methods included ?占퐉odified Delphi Techniques??for item selection, reliability measurement using inter-rater agreement, and intra-class correlations between test items or subtests. Modern test theory, in particular generalizability theory, was used in nine (18%) of studies. Test score validity has been addressed in multiple investigations and shown a significant improvement in reporting accuracy. However the assessment of predicative has been low across the majority of studies. Usability and practicality of testing occasions and tools was only anecdotally reported. To more completely comply with the gold standards for PA design, both shared experience of experts and recognition of test construction standards, including reliability and validity measurements, instrument piloting, rater training, and explicit identification of the purpose and proposed use of the assessment tool, are required.

Abstract:
Public procurement is quite an important activity in the European Union as it corresponds to more than 13% of the GNP in the EU (2017), and public works account for more than €500 000 M, which is about 25% of the total public procured value. The construction sector is responsible for about 38% of energy-related carbon emissions and 50% of resource consumption. Therefore, procurement of public works (PPW) should be considered a strategic instrument to pursue sustainable policies, but, quite often, the award criterion does not consider the sustainability objectives. The authors present in this paper a new multicriteria model to evaluate tenders to award design or design and build contracts for public works, respecting the principles of public procurement expressed by the European Directives of 2014 and pursuing the sustainability objectives according to the so-called Green Procurement. This model can be easily applied as it is confirmed by its application to the study of the procurement of a new public hospital in Portugal.

Abstract:
Abstract Currently the building sector is under high pressure: the lack of affordable housing in conurbations and the need to implement environmental performance strategies require concepts that incorporate user needs with planetary boundaries. Against the background of global population growth and a rising demand for resources, urban densification is regarded as a major global trend. The pressure on cities is already recognizable today and studies predict a growing tendency for the next three decades. This is a sensitive situation which provides not only the chance but also the urgent necessity to implement strategies to reduce climate change effects. Regulations are necessary to guide this process in the building sector. Timber construction as well as reused and recycled material show potential to be part of the solution. Against this background, the research deals with the status-quo of current legal instruments to design and construct sustainable buildings. This article provides an overview of the legal instruments in relation to sustainable building processes in the German construction industry with a focus on timber buildings. The relevant standards and guidelines for sustainable building design are investigated by literature review. This includes German Model Building Code (MBO), parts of the DIN standards, the German Building Code (BauGB) and the Building Usage Ordinance (BauNVO) as well as the Model Timber Construction Directive (M-HFHHolzR). The regulations are applied on a multi-residential building in Cologne and discussed whether regulations are enabler or obstacle for this specific project. The results of the study show the urgent need for more flexibility within current inner-city projects to pursue an environmentally friendly design and construction.

Mechatronic instruments can create complex sounds that computers and digital instruments have yet to offer. As a specific example, we explore mechatronic chordophones, which use strings as a sound generator and offer a wide array of parametric affordances. The purpose of this work is to review recent approaches for chordophone design and construction, and present current, state-of-the-art devices. We explore multiple mechatronic frames and their components, and we analyze the challenges of building and interacting with these machines. Finally, we review software and hardware approaches that have been implemented to enhance these instruments and to bridge technical and creative restrictions.

The virtual simulation experiment framework consists of hardware and software function modules, which are both designed in this thesis. The application of virtual experiment framework has changed the traditional teaching method to a large extent, reduced the cost of laboratory construction and management, which is of the first importance to realize the remote experiment teaching. Through virtual experiments, students' interest in knowledge is cultivated and innovation ability is enhanced. With the National Instruments Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS) and LabVIEW, we could take advantage of graphical programming and a complete suite of standard test instruments on computer and directly interface these instruments to circuits, which is the base of virtual experiment framework.

Abstract:
To support the construction sector in its transition to a circular economy, many design instruments and decision support tools have been and are still being developed. This development is uncoordinated and raises confusion among building designers and advising engineers, slowing down the tools’ adoption in practice. Moreover, it is unclear if the available design tools are able to fulfil the needs of design professionals at all. Therefore, this research identifies the knowledge challenges for the “supply and demand” of design tools for a circular construction practice. It focuses on Flanders, given the importance the topic receives in the region’s policy programme and among practitioners. This study builds on a thorough literature review, and on inventorying and categorising instruments and ongoing developments. By comparing that review with the needs that were identified during interviews with a focus group, it was possible to pinpoint designers’ needs for support tools and outline three urgent research tracks. More generally, it was found that the needs of our focus group are only partially reflected by the available design tools and the ongoing developments. This identified mismatch advocates for a more participatory and practice-oriented research approach when developing design support tools for circular building.

Abstract:
This thesis project presents the T-Sticks, a new family of digital musical instruments (DMIs). Most DMIs are either entirely unique interfaces, or exist as design iterations in which each incarnation is intended to improve on the last. The T-Sticks are instead intended to form a complementary group or consort which may be performed ensemble and also performed individually in solo pieces or works for mixed instrumentation. Each of the T-Sticks is based on the same general structure and sensing platform, but each also differs from its siblings in size, weight, timbre and register.
This document explores some of the issues challenging and motivating the field of DMI design and performance, and describes the motivations behind the T-Stick project in this context. Several existing DMIs are examined for similarities to the T-Stick and compared in terms of design intention, implementation, and usage. The hardware and software designed and built for this project is presented, along with insights gained through collaboration with performers and composers in the context of McGill University's Digital Orchestra project. The performers in question have collectively practiced and performed with the T-Stick for hundreds of hours in the lab, practice room, and on the concert stage. The consort of T-Sticks will be featured as an ensemble in a piece to be performed during the 2008 MusiMarch festival in Montreal.

Abstract:
A parametric design study of light weight mirror shapes with various support conditions was performed utilizing the finite element program NASTRAN. Improvements in the mirror performance were made based on the following design criteria: (1) minimization of the optical surface wavefront variations, (2) minimization of the self-weight directly related to cost of manufacturing, and (3) optimal location of support points. A pre-processor to automatically generate a finite element model for each mirror geometry was developed in order to obtain the structural deformations systematically. Additionally, a post-processor, which prepares an input data file for FRINGE (an optical computer code) was developed for generating the optical deflections that lead to the surface wavefront variations. Procedures and modeling techniques to achieve the optimum (the lightest and stiffest mirror shape due to self-weight) were addressed. Fundamental natural frequency analyses, for contoured back mirror shapes for a variety of support conditions, were performed and followed by comparisons of the results which were obtained from NASTRAN and a closed-form approximate solution. In addition, element validity and sensitivity studies were conducted to demonstrate the behavior of the element types provided in the NASTRAN program when used for optical applications. Scaling Laws for the evaluations of the optical performances and the fundamental frequencies were established.

Abstract:
Design and operation of modular optical head for a magneto-optic test system are described. Alternate solutions to design problems are discussed. A 30mW semiconductor laser with an integrated 250MHz oscillator is selected. The oscillator is used to modulate laser read current for a reduction in laser feedback noise. A collimating lens with an appropriate focal length is chosen so the beam's truncation at the objective yields the maximum write power density. Astigmatism associated with the laser diode is reduced to 0.125 waves by defocusing the collimating lens and circularizing with an anamorphic prism pair. Head components are aligned within several minutes of arc by using alignment apertures and an autocollimator. Aberrations due to tilt between the disk and beam are examined and coma is found to be the major contributor.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 43-44).
In this thesis the instruments explore two main aspects of organic optoelectronic devices. One instrument characterizes exciton diffusion and the other patterns organic thin films. Exciton diffusion characteristics are important to study in organic materials because excitons mediate the transport of energy. In this work, a fluorescence microscope is designed and built in order to image directly the triplet exciton diffusion in organic crystals. Patterning of organic thin films in industry is done by fine-metal masks, which are fragile and do not scale with substrate size. The second instrument is the first fully functional prototype for a new type of dry lithography technique invented in our research group which addresses the scalability and compatibility problems of past patterning methods. The proof-of-concept instrument replaces the traditional fine metal mask patterning method by patterning a sublimable mask with a micro-stamp.

The design of the flexure mount recently submitted to NASA Ames for the structural support of the primary mirror of the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) is presented. The flexure system must passively accommodate the differential thermal contraction between the glass mirror and the aluminum structure of the telescope during cryogenic cooldown. Further, it must support the one meter diameter, 116 kilogram (258 pound) primary mirror during a severe launch to orbit. Procedures used to establish the required radial compliance using computer programs NASTRAN and FRINGE are discussed. The parametric design program developed to study early concepts is presented. Methods of combining modal responses resulting from a displacement response spectrum analysis are discussed, and a combination scheme called MRSS, Modified Root of Sum of Squares, is presented. Modal combination schemes using MRSS, SRSS, and ABS are compared to the results of a Modal Frequency Response analysis.

Abstract:
Manufacturing industry works on Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) to increase the yield and speed of machining. A good knowledge of the machine properties is important to increase the speed while still maintaining stable cutting with low tool usage.To make models of the machine is therefore important and in machining a common way to extract the dynamic properties is frequency response measurement. One way is to use an impact hammer to excite the machine tool and measure the response. The problem is that a hammer can only be used on a non running machine. At Manufacturing and Metrology Systems division at KTH (MMS) a test method for contactless excitation has been developed that uses electromagnets to excite the machine tool. By using contactless testing it can be used on rotating machine tools without real cutting in materials. In this thesis a new test system for the contact less testing method has been designed and constructed to test if it is possible to do test on a bigger variety of rotating cutting machine tools. The results for the prototype is presented and evaluated.
Dagens tillverkningsindustri arbetar för att utrsutningens totala effiktivitet ska höjas genomatt öka hastigheten och minska material- och verktygsanvändningen vid bearbetningen utan att minska kvalitén på slutprodukten. För att öka hastigheten krävs en god kännedom om maskinens egenskaper för att maskinen ska arbeta under stabila förhållanden där också verktygets slitage minskas. Att ta fram modeller över maskinen är därför viktigt och inom skärande bearbetning är frekvensresponsmätning ett sätt att få ut de dynamiska egenskaperna av det skärandeverktyget. En vanlig testmetod är att med en hammare exitera verktyget och mäta responsen. Problemet är dock att hammaren bara kan mäta vid stillastående maskin. Vid MMS har en testmetod för kontaktlös exitering tagits fram där elektromagneter användsför exiteringen. På så sätt kan testet utföras på roterande verktyg utan att man behöver förbruka material. I detta arbete har ett nytt testsystem för denna testmetod designats och konstruerats för att testa om det är möjligt med testning på flera storlekar på maskiner för skärandebearbetning. Resultaten för prototypen presenteras och utvärderas.

Abstract:
Abstract Investing in fundamental research is often considered a risky venture. The costs of designing, developing and building new research instruments, the long timelines for the construction and operation of these infrastructures and the sophistication of the enabling technologies—often calling for further R&D investments to meet the market needs—are among the factors that enter into the debate around the investment in fundamental research. In this brief essay we discuss certain results from previous Cost-Benefit Analysis studies for the LHC and the High-Luminosity (HL-LHC) upgrade and lessons concerning the socio-economic impact that these facilities have beyond the core scientific mission. We conclude with some key considerations that can inform the design of a new research infrastructure for the post-LHC era like the proposed Future Circular Collider and point to certain directions for future interdisciplinary research to better understand ways for impact assessment.

Abstract:
Risk factors related to work activity and ergonomics can enhance the probability that some persons may develop a MSD (musculoskeletal disorder). Usually the MSD develops due to high task repetition, forceful exertion, and repetitive/sustained awkward postures. MSD is also found in some cases where workers are engaged with working in awkward postures, cold temperatures, contact stress, heavy load, static postures, and vibration, etc. Many studies explain the problems for MSD, but in this chapter an effort is taken to rank the maximum body movement and body parts as per the different types of work flow system such that ergonomics design can be planned. Physical disorders can be avoided by finding and ranking the difficult task and the affected body part due to that kind of work. The prioritization of task will help the organization to think of sustainable designs of working procedure or instruments or machines to provide maximum comfort to humankind. It may also help to frame policies for occupational safety and hazards in workplace.

The role of geometry and arithmetic in ancient building is common knowledge, but it has seldom been proved by measured drawing. This chapter looks for the remote origins of design criteria and ancient canons, and their application in representative antique and medieval architecture. Architectural design had to reflect the universal cosmic Order and Harmony and the ancient and medieval architect-designer had to rely on the same intangible instruments, i.e. the geometry and the arithmetic’s, created by the Divine Geometer. The geometry of forms and the numbers of quantities and dimensions served as a mayor instrument for developing coherent modulation in the design and the structure of the building and his environment. They also served as a symbol and an allegorical sign to convey intangible messages from the commissioner. Metric analysis reveals this evident design practices and their probable semantic content. This is illustrated in the analysis of six cases: the Cheops pyramid at Memphis, the Pantheon at Rome, the Charlemagne’s Palace Chapel at Aachen, the Our Lady’s Cathedral at Chartres, the S. Francis Basilica at Assisi and the Castel del Monte at Andria. This historic examples should inspire modern creative design and modern sustainable construction.

Abstract:
As society moves into the digital age, the expectation of instantaneous electricity at the flip of a switch is more prominent than ever. The traditional electric grid has become outdated and Smart Grids are being developed to deliver reliable and efficient energy to consumers. However, the costs involved with implementing their infrastructure often limits research to theoretical models. As a result, an undergraduate capstone design team constructed a small-scale 12 VDC version to be used in conjunction with classroom and research activities. In this model Smart Grid, two houses act as residential consumers, an industrial building serves as a high-load demand device, and a lead-acid battery connected to a 120 VAC wall outlet simulates fossil fuel power plants. A smaller lead-acid battery provides a microgrid source while a photovoltaic solar panel adds renewable energy into the mix and can charge either lead-acid battery. All components are connected to a National Instruments CompactRIO system while being controlled and monitored via a LabVIEW software program. The resulting Smart Grid can run independently based on constraints related to energy demand, cost, efficiency, and environmental impact. Results are shown demonstrating choices based on these constraints, including a corresponding weighting according to controller objectives.

Abstract:
Following design and construction of a prototype of an engine such as a microjet engine, the engine is placed in a test cell, and is tested by special instruments until the desired engine performance is achieved. The aim is to determine all of the engine components’ performance parameters. Successful testing, acquiring the right data and subsequent processing and analysis can be useful and effective in design, optimization and maintenance of such engines. This paper describes the process of design and construction of microjet engine indoor test cell at Amirkabir University of Technology and performance testing of a microjet engine. This project has been conducted after testing the engine at outdoor test cell. The fact of bringing the engine in an enclosed test bed has effects on engine’s performance especially on the engine’s thrust. Therefore, the aerodynamic design of the test cell is conducted in a way to provide uniform airflow for the engine, have less proneness to test cell influence factors and reduces the adverse environmental conditions on engine’s performance during the process of testing. The phase of construction of the indoor test cell followed after designing phase is presented. On the other hand, the choice of instrumentation and the way it is arranged is discussed. Finally, the process of testing the engine and gathering data is described and results from the first tests conducted on the finished facility are presented.

Abstract:
Architectural education is often held up as an exemplar of project-based learning. Perhaps no discipline devotes as much curricular time to the development of a hypothetical project as is found in the design studio model prevalent in US architecture schools. Whether the emphasis is placed on more ‘classical’ design skills—be they typological, tectonic, or aesthetic—or on more ‘socio-political or eco-cultural aims,’ studios generally include the skills and values we deem instrumental to practice.1 The vast majority of such studios, therefore, emphasize the production of drawings, images and models of buildings, i.e., representation.2 This is not altogether surprising, as these are, by definition, the instruments of p ractice.3 But the emphasis on drawings and models also reflects the comfortable and now long-held disciplinary position that demarcates representation as the distinct privilege and fundamental role of the architect in the built environment. That position, however, continues to pose three fundamental and pedagogical challenges for the discipline. First, architectural education—to the degree that it attempts both to simulate and define practice—struggles to model the kind of feedback that occurs only during construction which can serve as an important check on the fidelity and efficacy of representation in its instrumental mode. Consequently, design research undertaken in this context may also tend to privilege instrumentation (representation) over effect (building), reliant on the conventions of construction or outside expertise for technical knowledge. This cycle further distances the process of building from our disciplinary domain, limiting our capacity to effect innovation in the built world.4 Second, and in quite similar fashion, the design studio struggles to provide the kind of social perspective and public reception, i.e., subjective political constraints, that are integral to the act of building. Instead, we approximate such constraints with a raft of disciplinary experts—faculty and visiting critics—whose priorities and interests seldom reflect the broad constituency of the built environment. The third challenge, and a quite different one, is that the distinction between representation and construction is collapsing as a result of technological change. In general terms, drawing is giving way to modeling, representation giving way to simulation. Drawings are increasingly vestigial outputs from higher-order organizations of information. Representation, yes, but a subordinate mode that remains open to modification, increasingly intelligent in order to account for direct translation into material conditions, be they buildings or budgets.

"Design, Construction and Calibration of an Instrument for Measuring the Production of Chilled Water by the Combined Effects of Evaporation and Night Sky Radiation." In ASME 2012 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2012-85645.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents the design and mathematical modeling of thermal radiator panels to be used primarily to measure night sky radiation from dry and wet coated surfaces. Three panels may be used in conjunction as a combined measuring system. One panel consists of an upper dry surface coated aluminum sheet laminated to an ethylene vinyl acetate foam backing block having a pattern of parallel flow water channels and header channels milled into its mating surface prior to lamination to the aluminum sheet. This configuration provides a fin and channel radiator instrument whereby circulating water may be used to measure the heat loss from this panel to night sky radiation. In a second configuration, the surface of a panel without buried water channels but otherwise identical may be wetted in order to study and compare the night sky radiation from its wet surface. In this case, the measuring water is circulated over the upper face of this panel. In a third configuration, water is sprayed onto the surface of the second panel (or a similar panel) so that an evaporative cooling effect is gained in addition to the radiation effect. Initial TRNSYS simulations for the performance of all three configurations are presented and it is planned to use the panels as calibrated instruments for discriminating between the cooling effects of night sky radiation and evaporation.

Full text
Abstract:
The evolution of an all-round 6-metre hybrid displacement/flying day-sailing catamaran is described. A 4.9m prototype was a relatively conventional, but wide, beach-cat type platform with a single fractional rig. Fitted with mechanically incidence-controlled horizontal lifting surfaces beneath the twin daggerboards and a single inverted T rudder, the boat could be sailed in one of three modes: fully displacement with the lifting foils locked in neutral; one hull displacement and the other flying under automatic height control; two hull flying. The small size and structural fragility of the 4.9m boat led to the construction of a 2-man 6m version which, despite being overweight, performs satisfactorily over a wider range of operating conditions than her predecessor. A simple VPP suggested that a second pair of lifting foils with greater area would enlarge the fully oilborne performance envelope upwind, although reducing top speeds on other courses. In practice these foils performed poorly other than on flat water. Other errors contributed to the ultimate failure of one foil-strut assembly, the mode of which is described in detail. Prior to this it was found that operating the foils as stabilisers, i.e. in their active mode but with the hulls in the water, provided a remarkably comfortable, safe and fast ride, particularly upwind in gusty weather. Subsequently, "flying displacement" became the preferred upwind mode, with the original, smaller lifters. Because the author's working hours have limited the opportunity to sail against other similar sized beach cats, instruments to record the boat's performance have been developed. Based around readily available low cost microcontroller technology, the data gathered is processed to identify short, steady periods of sailing. The resulting polar diagrams have compared favourably with predicted performance. Supporting the weight of a boat, as well as resisting roll and pitch moments, through a more subtle combination of dynamic foil lift and hull displacement than presented here provides a continuing opportunity for further developments.

Full text
Abstract:
The Western Kentucky University (WKU) Department of Engineering is collaborating with National Park Service – Inventory and Monitoring scientists to support National Park Service (NPS) cave environment and ecosystems research. The NPS, together with the United States Geological Survey, provided the funding that has allowed WKU Engineering students, working with WKU faculty and staff and NPS scientists, to design, build, test and deliver two transportable instrumentation lift systems. Each lift tower has a stationary top platform and a secondary platform capable of continuously raising and lowering instrumentation over extended, unattended periods. NPS-owned instrumentation on the platforms collects air temperature, relative humidity and air velocity data, storing results to NPS-owned devices located on or below the tower. NPS scientists will use the system to gather more accurate data on the quality and movement of air within cave passages and develop predictive models of the environment. The new system will allow measurements as high as 30 feet and make long-term data collection feasible. A variety of design challenges were met by the students working on the project. Portability, flexibility and weight reduction were achieved through a collapsible aluminum base securing the tower, with three-foot PVC sections to build varying tower heights. Stability was accomplished with a tensioning cable system and a gripping mechanism integrated into the base to secure the incomplete tower. Cable spool design and data collection programming achieved positioning accuracy of the moving platform. In addition to satisfying functional needs, the towers were also designed to avoid damage to cave surfaces and meet challenging operating requirements. Tower components are reasonably lightweight and durable, components are shock-resistant, moisture-resistant, easy to dry and clean, and non-corroding. The design modularity facilitates transport by two NPS personnel using duffle bags, and is easy to set up and move. The towers support multiple instruments weighing as much as 10 pounds, can be modified to support instruments in varied configurations, and can be repaired in-house by NPS personnel. The towers were designed and tested to assure user friendly, reliable operation. Tower stability, ease of tower construction, accuracy of platform movement, and required battery life issues were solved by the students.

Abstract:
This work describes the design, construction and test of a data acquisition system which performs the real-time monitoring and recording of temperatures in thermal envelope and water consumption in households. This system allows diagnosis and assessment of efficient use of water and a thermal report for electric efficiency purposes. The prototype was subjected to comparative tests with commercial instruments that were used during the project of collaboration with Universidad Autonoma of Baja California and Dennis engineering. The project was developed for energy-efficient housing prototypes for the middle market residential of Mexicali, localized at the state of Baja California in Mexico. At first case, a high gain or loss of heat causes significant increases of important loads as the refrigerator and air conditioning owing to their increment in operation times. Many efficiency energy projects make use of traditional systems for temperature monitoring, whose characteristics exceed the requirements for this type of application and they present economic disadvantages, which can be solved with virtual acquisition systems. Two virtual instruments in LabVIEW were developed which allow real-time acquisition, analysis and recording, with flexible viewing by the user of temperatures and volume of water consumed. Also automatically save data in excel files by specific times. This system can diminish the cost of a conventional temperature monitoring system with 8 acquisition channels approximately in a 50%, keeping precision and accuracy required for this type of applications. The dispositive has the flexibility for monitoring other variables for energy audit, and currently is being tested for climate and electric power parameters.

Full text
Abstract:
The international system of units will complete a transition in 2018 from a system based on seven fundamental units to a system of seven fundamental constants. More specifically, regarding the SI unit of mass, the kilogram (kg) will be realized in terms of a fixed value of the Planck constant. At the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a watt balance will be used to relate the kilogram to the Planck Constant. One major challenge introduced with this new definition involves the environment where the realization occurs. In traditional mass metrology, all comparisons are completed in air and a chain of traceability can be completed back to the International Prototype Kilogram using conventional mass balances. In the new SI, the watt balance will be operated under vacuum. The vacuum environment is important for multiple reasons, including the elimination of the buoyancy correction and the introduction of sorption effects if the artifacts are transferred from vacuum to air. In order for the mass community to utilize the new vacuum-based definition in air, the scientists in the Mass and Force Group are constructing a magnetic suspension balance. This experiment will allow comparison of a mass in vacuum from the watt balance to an artifact in air that will be used for dissemination. This vacuum-to-air transfer is only worthwhile if the artifacts in the watt balance can be transferred to other instruments without breaking vacuum. To solve this problem, a complete, custom vacuum transfer system was developed for mass artifacts. The system is comprised of a series of load locks, mass exchange points and vacuum transfer arms to connect the mass transport vehicle to each experiment. Each stage of mass transfer introduces new challenges including material selection of artifact handlers, strict component design constraints and the logistics of maintaining a clean, reproducible vacuum environment during transfers that can span 100 meters of labs and hallways. This paper will explain the growing importance of vacuum technology in mass metrology and discuss how each of the aforementioned design problems were solved to create the vacuum transfer system in place today.

Abstract:
Pop-up paper mechanisms use techniques very similar to the well-studied paper folding techniques of origami. However, popups differ in both the manner of construction and the target uses, warranting further study. This paper outlines the use of planar and spherical kinematics to model commonly used pop-up paper mechanisms. A survey of common joint types is given, including folds, interlocking slots, bends, pivots, sliders and rotating sliders. Also included is an overview of common onepiece and layered mechanisms, including single-slit, double-slit, V-fold, tent, tube strap and arch mechanisms. Each mechanism or joint is described using a kinematic or compliant mechanism representation. In addition, it is shown that more complex mechanisms may be created by combining simple mechanisms in various ways. The principles presented are applied to the creation of new pop-up joints and mechanisms. The new mechanisms employ both spherical and spatial kinematic chains. Various other applications are also mentioned which could benefit from the use of pop-up mechanism principles. Possible applications include deployable structures, packaging and instruments for minimally invasive surgery.
