Abstract:
An apparatus and method for drawing a fiber having desired waveguide parameters, particularly cut-off wavelength is provided. The apparatus is characterized by a temperature measurement means (113) provided near surface (A) of the preform (105), being capable of directly measuring surface temperature of that part of the preform (105) which is outside the furnace; and a programmable logic controller [PLC] (114) connectable to said temperature measurement means (113), and being capable of controlling and maintaining temperature of that part of the preform (105) which is inside the furnace (101) by continuously controlling and maintaining the power supply to heating (elements 104) of the furnace, wherein the PLC (114) is capable of controlling and maintaining power supply to the heating elements (104) by employing equation (1) till the preform completely just enters the furnace Power supply = (start power) x C + (surface temperature of preform which is outside furnace) x (slope term)...... Eqn. (1) and by employing equation (2) after the preform has completely entered in the furnace Power supply = slope x (( π (d/2) 2 xL r )/ 1000) + C1......Eqn. (2) .
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a sensor comprising a nanowire on a support substrate with a first semiconductor layer arranged on the support substrate is disclosed. The method comprises forming a fin structure from the first semiconductor layer, the fin structure comprising at least two supporting portions and a fin portion arranged there between; oxidizing at least the fin portion of the fin structure thereby forming the nanowire being surrounded by a first layer of oxide; and forming an insulating layer above the supporting portions; wherein the supporting portions and the first insulating layer form a microfluidic channel. A nanowire sensor is also disclosed. The nanowire sensor comprises a support substrate, a semiconducting fin structure arranged on the support substrate, the fin structure comprising at least two semiconducting supporting portions and a nanowire arranged there between; and a first insulating layer on a contact surface of the supporting portions; wherein the supporting portions and the first insulating layer form a microfluidic channel.
Abstract:
The invention particularly relates to a process for increasing the reactivity of ground granulated blast furnace slag using surface activation through short mechanical activation time (10-60 min) and it starts to hydrate in short time (48 h or less) when mixed with water without any chemical additive and completely hydrates in maximum 28 days forming cementitious product. The products produced by the process of present invention may be of different particle sizes and shapes, different specific surface areas, different surface charge (Zeta potential) and different reactivity. The reactive blast furnace slag shall be useful in Portland Slag Cement (PSC), Geopolymer, immobilisation and stabilisation of toxic wastes and newer nano-composite materials.
