Synthesis Optimization and Thermoelectric Properties of S-Filled and Te-Se Double-Substituted Skutterudite under High Pressure.

In recent years, skutterudite filled with electronegative elements (S, Se, Cl, Br) has attracted the extensive attention of researchers. By doping electron donors (Pb, Ni, or Te, S, Se) at the Co or Sb sites, the electronegative elements can form thermodynamically stable compounds in the intrinsic pores of the skutterudite, substantially expanding the research scope of skutterudite. In this study, SCoSbTeSe skutterudite was synthesized at high pressure and high temperature, with a pressure range of 2.

Optical high-precision three-dimensional vision-based quality control of manufactured parts by use of synthetic images and knowledge for image-data evaluation and interpretation.

Vision-based evaluation of industrial workpieces can make efficient use of knowledge-based approaches, in particular for quality control, inspection, and accurate-measurement tasks. A possible approach is to compare real images with conceptual (synthetic) images generated by use of standard computer-aided design models, which include tolerances and take the application-specific conditions into account (e.g.
