Devices : Miniaturized measurement system for nanopositioning
Actuators with an integrated measurement system
Jena, Germany-- (openPR) -- As with other systems from piezosystem jena, the actuator enables high-precision positioning. The advantage of the integrated measurement system compared to conventional systems is the removal of a separate electronics assembly. This is now included in the actuator. For that a new development of a temperature compensated actuator mechanics was necessary.
A further advantage is improved resolution, thanks to the elimination of the sensor cable which contributed to the noise of the system.
The handling for the customer is now easier, not only by the removal of the additional separate assembly, but also by making the system only need one cable to connect actuator with the preamplifier. Furthermore, the length of the cable is no longer limited.

Applications : TESTING TIME FOR VACUUM CLEANER MAKER
Eight dynamometer test rigs share a single calibration unit based on a Digital TorqSense transducer
Bicester, UK -- 1st Pass of Westbury in Wiltshire,UK, started out as a regional systems integrator for National Instruments’ LabView software packages. However, it quickly realised that there was a considerable need for a wider service encompassing all aspects of test rig design and build.Founder and Managing Director, Chris Turner, explains: “Engineers involved in either research or quality control need test rigs, but designing them is not their forte. They tend to focus only on the immediate requirements so tend towards inflexible, mono-functional designs. Six months later when new requirements emerge, they have to build another rig”.
“We saw this as a gap in the market and decided to offer the a full package whereby we would interview the engineers to establish likely future requirements, then design and build a test rig or test station that addresses all of these. This includes electrical and mechanical design, software, firmware, support systems, etc. We will also install, calibrate and maintain the rigs.”

Publications : CELL-VU More Accurate than the Standard Hemacytometer and the Makler Chamber
Study by the American Society for Clinical PathologyThe Cell-VU method of sperm counting provided the best accuracy and precision among the 3 methods we studied and may represent a better worldwide "gold standard" for sperm counts than the current hemacytometer method. -Source:: American Society for Clinical Pathology labmedicine.com
New York (PRWEB) -- Sperm counts are currently being performed using a variety of methods that produce results that do not correlate well with each other or with the current "gold standard" reference method, hemacytometer.
Significant differences in the accuracy of sperm counts using these different counting methods emphasize the need for standardization and quality control procedures to ensure adequate intermethod agreement between sperm counting methods.
We compared sperm counts using 3 commonly used methods-- hemacytomer, Cell-VU, and Makler--applied to both semen and sperm suspensions prepared from semen.
Sperm suspensions containing low, medium, and high sperm concentrations were prepared from 38 of these semen samples. The results of sperm counts on semen and sperm suspension samples were analyzed with SPSS 11.0 software.
