A variety of fundamental focusing and separation approaches has been studied with synthetic microparticles in the framework of microsystems. Among these techniques, inertial focusing has gained significant attention since it offers high throughput as well as effective and precise control for particle and cell manipulation. The effect of curvilinearity with a high curvature angle (280o) on particle focusing behavior is examined in this study by performing inertial focusing of fluorescent polystyrene microparticles of sizes of 10, 15 and 20 μm at different channel Reynolds numbers. Furthermore, the decoupling effect of inertial and dean drag forces on particles is revealed.

Every production process requires monitoring system, so the desired efficiency and productivity can be monitored at any time. This system is also needed in the job shop type of manufacturing which is mainly influenced by the manufacturing lead time. Processing time is one of the factors that affect the manufacturing lead time. In a conventional company, the recording of processing time is done manually by the operator on a sheet of paper. This method is prone to errors. This paper aims to overcome this problem by creating a system which is able to record and monitor the processing time automatically. The solution is realized by utilizing electric current sensor, barcode, RFID, wireless network and windows-based application. An automatic monitoring device is attached to the production machine. It is equipped with a touch screen-LCD so that the operator can use it easily. Operator identity is recorded through RFID which is embedded in his ID card. The workpiece data are collected from the database by scanning the barcode listed on its monitoring sheet. A sensor is mounted on the machine to measure the actual machining time. The system’s outputs are actual processing time and machine’s capacity information. This system is connected wirelessly to a workshop planning application belongs to the firm. Test results indicated that all functions of the system can run properly. This system successfully enables supervisors, PPIC or higher level management staffs to monitor the processing time quickly with a better accuracy.
Cavitation is the sudden formation of vapor bubbles or voids in liquid media and occurs after rapid changes in pressure as a consequence of mechanical forces. It is mostly an undesirable phenomenon. Although the elimi...

The T-junction microchannel device makes available a sharp edge to form micro-droplets from biomaterial solutions. This article investigates the effects of injection angle, flow rate ratio, density ratio,viscosity ratio, contact angle, and slip length in the process of formation of uniform droplets in microfluidic T-junctions. The governing equations were solved by the commercial software. The results show that contact angle, slip length, and injection angles near the perpendicular and parallel conditions have an increasing effect on the diameter of generated droplets, while flow rate, density and viscosity ratios, and other injection angles had a decreasing effect on the diameter.

Inverted pendulum systems have an important place in practice for control problems due to their nonlinear structures. It is a very difficult task to control the orientation and speed of objects and robots which are free in three dimensions. These systems constitute the substructure of many advanced systems. Conventional actuators may not be used in such applications due to various limitations. Under these circumstances usage of reaction wheels come into prominence. Reaction wheel based systems are used for orienting, coordinating and balancing of spacecraft, transport systems, and other such systems. In this study, dual axis self-balancing reaction wheel based inverted pendulum system which is a basis for many complex systems has been designed, manufactured and controlled.

In the industrial field, assembling parts using robot arm requires force information. Some robot arms with torque sensors are commercially available, but they are difficult to use for industrial applications due to durability problems. In addition, mounting a torque sensor on the robot arm increases manufacturing costs and complicates the structure. In this study, we apply Sliding Perturbation Observer (SPO) to 7-axis robot manipulator and estimate reaction force without using torque sensor in simulation. From the estimated perturbation, it can be determined whether the end effector of the robot manipulator will crash part of the assembly.
