    Abstract: Theory and design of a new electrical-mobility based instrument for measurement of aerosol particle size distributions in real time is presented. Miniature Electrical Aerosol Spectrometer has a rectangular cross-section with two main regions: the Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) and Classifier sections. The ESP section enables charged particle injection into the classifier section in a narrow range of streamlines at the desired location. The injected charged particles are then segregated based on their electrical mobility in the classifier section and collected on a series of plates that are connected to electrometers. Real-time particle size distribution measurements can be inferred from the electrometer signal strengths with the knowledge of the instrument transfer function. A theoretical approach is developed to calculate Miniature Electrical Aerosol Spectrometer transfer function considering the non-uniformity in the electric and flow fields inside the instrument, and accounting for the instrument dimensions and its operating conditions. The theoretical predictions of size classification characteristics are seen to compare well with numerical results. The modeling results suggest that an optimal operational domain exists for Miniature Electrical Aerosol Spectrometer.

    Abstract translation: 提出了一种实时测量气溶胶颗粒尺寸分布的新型电动移动性仪器的理论与设计。 微型电气气溶胶光谱仪具有矩形截面,具有两个主要区域:静电除尘器(ESP)和分类器部分。 ESP部分使得带电粒子在所需位置的窄流线范围内注入分类器部分。 然后注入的带电粒子基于其在分级器部分中的电迁移率而被分离并收集在连接到静电计器的一系列板上。 通过仪器传递函数的知识,可以从静电计信号强度推断实时粒度分布测量。 考虑到仪器内部电气和流场的不均匀性,并考虑仪器尺寸及其工作条件,开发了一种理论方法来计算微型电气雾度光谱仪传递函数。 大小分类特征的理论预测与数值结果相比较。 建模结果表明,微型电气气溶胶光谱仪存在最佳操作领域。

    Abstract: A method and system for providing a plurality of host systems shared access to data files from a file server. The method includes monitoring a control file for updates, the control file located within a corresponding host directory located within the file server; receiving a request for access to a data file stored on the file server, the access request being written to the control file, the access request including a requested data file operation; performing the requested data file operation in response to the control file being updated with the access request; creating a status file in the host directory in which the requested data file operation was performed upon completion of the requested data file operation; writing status data in the status file, the status data including a result of the performance of the requested data file operation; and allowing access to the host directory in which the requested data file operation was performed in response to the status data being written to the status file.

    Abstract: A determination is made of a real-time azimuthal position of a notch alignment feature located on a support surface of a substrate holder relative to a fixed reference ray extending perpendicularly away from a rotational axis of the substrate holder as the substrate holder rotates about the rotational axis. A determination is made of an approach initiation azimuthal position of the notch alignment feature relative to the fixed reference ray at which vertical movement of the substrate holder should initiate in order to have the notch alignment feature located at a prescribed azimuthal position relative to the fixed reference ray when the substrate holder reaches a prescribed vertical position. A determination is made of a time delay required to have the notch alignment feature located at the approach initiation azimuthal position. Vertical movement of the substrate holder is initiated in accordance with the determined time delay.
