Spacecraft. A Vehicle designed for Spaceflight
2008-05-23 04:07:00
A vehicle designed for spaceflight is called a spacecraft. When the spacecraft travels on a sub-orbital flight, the vehicle travels to the outer-space and returns to Earth without taking a full orbit. On the other hand, a spacecraft taking an orbital space flight completes the orbiting of the Earth before returning to the planetary surface. Spacecraft s may be of two types, one that carries people as its crews or passengers, and the other is the robotic spacecraft which is controlled by either autonomously or tele-robotically. The use of robotic spacecrafts are of two types, the one which leaves just vicinity of the Earth are called space probes, and the other which remain in orbit of the Earth are called artificial satellites...

Automobile Engines
2007-11-09 16:04:00
The working of an automobile engine follows the same principle as an internal combustion engine. Air, from outside, enters the engine through the air cleaner and reaches the throttle plate. The pedal in your car is the control for the amount of air that you would want to be taken in, and you control it by pressing on this gas pedal. The air is then distributed through the intake manifold of the cylinders. At some point fuel is injected into the air stream, and the mixture vaporizes and is drawn into the cylinders as they start their intake stroke. This way, when the cylinder has reached its bottom, it has drawn in sufficient mixture. As it moves up, compressing the mixture, the spark plug ignites the mixture, and as the powerful gas formed expands, it pushes the cylinder to the bottom with the cylinder once again drawing in the mixture. In designing automobile engines, you need to be a specialist in automobile engineering. The consideration that is taken while designing such an engi...

Stem Cell Research. Clinical application
2007-11-07 18:28:00
An interesting branch of medicine engineering is the stem cell research. This unique branch of medicine engineering is presently undergoing a critical transition. Yet it continues to be a potential component of both medical engineering as well as medical practice. Many people lose cells due to injury or degenerative diseases that have no cure at present. Medicine engineering experts have tried a wide range of experimental models to solve this problem. This has resulted in a gift by the medicine engineering science, the cellular grafting, which is a unique type of cell based therapy. The method that is the most suitable stem cell research and therapy, as devised by the medicine engineering studies, is the magnetic resonance imaging methods. They produce non-evasive images of opaque tissues. If on the other hand, the cells are transplanted, medicine engineering has the answer in tracking them by MRI, after making them MR visible. In fact the medicine engineering studies are more conce...

Electron Beam Lithography
2007-10-16 17:58:00
Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) is a method that allows the original digital image to be transferred directly to the interested substrate without the use of mask. It was introduced soon after the development of the scanning electron microscope. In 1954, Broers reported 50 nm lines ion milled into metal films using a contamination resist patterned with a 10 nm wide e-beam. Later in 1976, with improved electron optics, 8 nm lines in Au-Pd were reported using a 0.5 nm probe. In 1984, a functioning Aharonov-Bohm interference device was fabricated with Electron Beam Lithography...

Car suspension system in automotive engineering
2007-10-10 18:42:00
Automotive engineering has brought forth the ability in today's cars to reach a balance between the riding comfort and its road handling capability. This has been achieved through an active suspension control installed in the car, through a typical distributed control system. We discuss here a brief account of the mechanism of an active suspension system in a vehicle, where the distributed structure of the mechanism has been taken into account. Automotive engineering has helped to conceive the theory of embedded distributed control architectures that have come to be the first and foremost innovation in modern cars, which have been applied to achieve improvements in performance in the vehicles. The system costs more than a quarter of the cost that is required to manufacture a car, which has made the car manufacturers to have a re-look at the costing and make improvement of the effective cost of the vehicle...
