In-Service Information Flows to Designers

This research is triggered by the emerging ‘power by the hour’® paradigm, in which aero engines are effectively leased to airlines, with the manufacturing company remaining responsible for their maintenance and repair throughout their service life. By incorporating knowledge about the performance of existing products into the design phase of new products, it is hoped to tackle some of the in-servi

Realization of a matching region between a radome and a ground plane

In order to reduce the monostatic signature of the junction between a radome and the metallic structure to which it is attached, a tapered resistive sheet can be used. In this paper, we describe an easy method to realize this tapering using geometric variations on a subwavelength scale, with a significant reduction of the number of processing steps as a result.

A Semi-Lagrangian Method for a Fokker-Planck Equation Describing Fiber Dynamics

A simplified Fokker-Planck model for the lay-down of fibers on a conveyor belt in the production process of nonwovens is investigated. It takes into account the motion of the fiber under the influence of turbulence. The emphasis in this paper is on the development of a numerical procedure to solve the model. We present a semi-Lagrangian scheme that accurately captures the fiber dynamics and conser

Visualization of the melanosome transfer-inhibition in a mouse epidermal cell co-culture model.

Transfer of melanin-containing melanosomes from melanocytes to neighboring keratinocytes results in skin pigmentation. To provide a more practical method of visualizing melanosomes in melanocytes as well as in keratinocytes, we attempted to use murine cell lines instead of human primary cells. We generated various fluorescent fusion proteins of tyrosinase, a melanin synthesis enzyme located in the
