The production of high quality solar cells requires a deep understanding of the solidification process. Especially when time-dependent magnetic fields are used to improve the material and heat transfer in the melt, the resulting flow structures are complex and unsteady. Hence, numerical simulations are used to gain an insight into the melt flow. For the calibration of the numerical simulations, model experiments using liquid metals at room temperature are used. The melt flow is strongly influenced by the melt height, that constantly decreases during a solidification process. Hence, measuring the position and the shape of the solidification front is required for an understanding of the melt flow. Furthermore a comprehensive flow mapping of complex and unsteady flow phenomena is necessary. Commercial flow instrumentation systems usually utilize only one or a few single element probes that are operated strictly in sequential multiplex. This leads to low frame rates and limits their application to quasi-static flow fields.

The automated recycling of plastics becomes increasingly attractive from both the economical and environmental point of view. Yet in applications where plastic parts with high quality are required, recycled plastic materials cannot be employed at present because waste plastics of different kind are usually mixed during the recycling process. In order to produce the necessary mono-fractional compositions of waste plastics, a highly reliable sorting method before recycling is of paramount importance. We have been investigating the promising approach of labeling virgin plastics with specifically designed fluorescent tracers ("markers") in earlier studies [1]-[3]. Despite all the advantages of this approach compared to other techniques, the overlap of the tracers' fluorescence with the intrinsic autofluorescence plastic polymers might show is quite challenging in terms of a highly reliable classification. In this study we compare steady-state spectroscopy so far implemented in our sorting system prototype with time-gated fluorescence spectroscopy based upon their classification performances. As it turns out, the steady-state approach delivers acceptable performance only at rather high signal-to-noise ratios (S/N) when pronounced autofluorescence is present. Such S/N levels might be hard to achieve in practice. The time-gated approach on the other hand can completely eliminate the intrinsic autofluorescence from the measured spectra at the cost of moderately decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio. As long as these S/N values are larger than about +10 dB, ideal classification results of F_1-score = 100% can be achieved in practice for the application at hand.
The recycling of plastic products becomes increasingly attractive not only from an environmental point of view, but also economically. For recycled (engineering) plastic products with the highest possible quality, pla...

One important aim of precision planar ball guides design is a high stiffness. A mathematical appropriate design allows the deployment of three balls only. In order to fulfil the load and stiffness requirements of the guide a much higher number of balls is used. In this overconstrained situation the stiffness is reduced by an unknown value compared to the calculated theoretical result due to manufacturing deviations. The following contribution presents an experimental investigation of planar guides concerning their stiffness.
Impedance spectroscopy is widely used in material characterization and characterization of energy storage devices. In material analysis the specific properties of macro scale samples are in focus of investigation. How...

This article introduces a novel fibre-coupled confocal sensor for optical, non-tactile measurement of microstructures developed at the institute of Process measurement and sensortechnology. The functional principle and an analysis of its metrological properties as well as some experimental results using the NMM-1, a nanopositioning and nanomeasuring machine (NPMM) manufactured by SIOS Meßtechnik GmbH, are presented.
Temperature sensors used in emission systems of combustion engines must register enormous temperature differences within the shortest periods of time. This serves to protect the engine parts with respect to their temp...
