In this paper, a self-compensation method for improving the accuracy of roll angle measurement of a linear stage caused by the non-parallelism of dual-beam due to time-dependent mechanical deformation of the support is proposed and integrated into a 5-DOF sensor to verify the feasibility. The non-parallelism between two laser beams is online real-time monitored by a pair of small autocollimator units. Through the ray-tracing analysis, the method to separate the roll angle of the moving stage and non-parallelism induced roll error is determined. A series of experiments under different supporting forces and ambient conditions have been carried out. The compensated P-V values of the roll angles are all within ±4 arc-sec, no matter how bad the originally measured value of the linear stage is. The average improvement of about 95% is significant. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed measurement system in the changing environment are verified.

With increasing energy demands, the need for coating materials with exceptional superhydrophobic properties has grown substantially. However, the widespread use of fluorinated compounds, solvents, and polymer-based synthetic materials has led to heightened levels of microplastics and pollutants. Here, we used a self-curing, solvent-free, and recyclable polyester polyol polymer material combined with (5 and 6.

Fabrication of hierarchical sapphire nanostructures using ultrafast laser induced morphology change.

Nanotechnology

January 2025

Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, 204 E. Dean Keeton St., Austin, Texas, 78712-1139, UNITED STATES.

Sapphire is an attractive material in photonic, optoelectronic, and transparent ceramic applications that stand to benefit from surface functionalization effects stemming from micro/nanostructures. Here we investigate the use of ultrafast lasers for fabricating nanostructures in sapphire by exploring the relationship between irradiation parameters, morphology change, and selective etching. In this approach an ultrafast laser pulse is focused on the sapphire substrate to change the crystalline morphology to amorphous or polycrystalline, which is characterized by examining different vibrational modes using Raman spectroscopy.

This Letter discusses the limitations of immersion-free recording schemes for holographic waveguide displays. Traditional holographic recording of waveguides requires recording angles exceeding the critical angle of the hologram-cladding interface. Achieving these angles necessitates edge-lit exposure using prisms and immersion liquids, which are challenging for roll-to-roll mass production and hinder widespread adoption.

Automatic Reproduction of Natural Head Position in Orthognathic Surgery Using a Geometric Deep Learning Network.

Diagnostics (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Applied Bioengineering, Graduate School of Convergence Science and Technology, Seoul National University, Seoul 08826, Republic of Korea.

: Accurate determination of the natural head position (NHP) is essential in orthognathic surgery for optimal surgical planning and improved patient outcomes. However, traditional methods encounter reproducibility issues and rely on external devices or patient cooperation, potentially leading to inaccuracies in the surgical plan. : To address these limitations, we developed a geometric deep learning network (NHP-Net) to automatically reproduce NHP from CT scans.

Graf ultrasound screening is considered an established method for early detection of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Although characterized by a high degree of standardization to allow for good reproducibility of results, examination-related factors may still affect sonographic measurements. The relative tilt angle between the hip and the probe is a potential pitfall as it significantly influences sonographic measurements and consequently classification of DDH according to Graf.
