This article addresses reliability under the sweat of interconnection techniques for the mounting surface mounted device (SMD) components and fully printed humidity sensors onto conductive stretchable textile ribbons. Samples underwent testing for the effect of ageing by artificial sweat on their...

A new dither technique is presented to control the bias voltage of an intensity modulator of the Mach-Zehnder type to maintain the quadrature operating point. This method is based on the direct calculation of the operating point deviation. The calculation uses an exactmathematicalmodel&...

Temperature-modulated space-charge-limited-current spectroscopy (tMsCLC) is applied to quantitatively evaluate the density of trap states in the band-gap with high energy resolution of semiconducting hybrid lead halide perovskite single crystals. Interestingly multicomponent deep trap states were observed in th...

The conductive polymer-electrolyte interface plays an important role in many electrochemical devices. An unusual situation arises when a solvent-free ionic liquid (SF-IL) is used as the electrolyte because it behaves as a molten salt rather than an electrolyte solution. On the basis of&...

In the last few decades, there has been a trend involving the use of nanoscale fillers in a variety of applications. Significant improvements have been achieved in the areas of their preparation and further applications (e.g., in industry, agriculture, and medicine). One of these&#...

This paper is focused on copper–nickel nanoparticle resistive inks compatible with thick printed copper (TPC) technology, which can be used for power substrate manufacturing instead of conventional metallization techniques. Two types of copper–nickel inks were prepared and deposited by Aerosol Je...

The present study is a focused and comprehensive analysis of the dielectric and thermal properties of twenty-four 3D printed polymers suitable for fused filament fabrication (FFF) in electronic applications. The selected polymers include various thermoplastic elastomers, such as thermoplastics based&#...

Against the background of environmental compatibility and unrestricted technical usability, synthetic, and natural transformer oils are critically compared in long-term tests under high voltage using electrical and instrumental analytical methods. Synthetic alkyl esters of pentaerythrol appear to be sustai...

The behaviour of partial discharge as consequences of an alternating current (AC) is already well defined. AC partial discharges have completely different behaviour, background physics and parameters than partial discharges (PD) under direct current (DC) stress. This paper focuses on the mos...

This study presents the influence of various types of nanoparticle (NP) fillers incorporated into a polyurethane (PU) (VUKOL 022) matrix and its subsequent changes in complex permittivity. Two types of surface modification of SiO2 fillers were investigated. The frequency dependence of the&#x...

Magnetic field sensors are fundamental for control and physics exploitation of fusion devices. Their inductive nature implies high dynamic ranges and a broad bandwidth, thus a precise characterization and calibration of these probes is paramount. COMPASS-U will have a completely new set ...

COMPASS Upgrade is a new medium size, high magnetic field tokamak (R = 0.9 m, Bt = 5 T, Ip = 2 MA) currently under design in the Czech Republic. It will provide unique capabilities for addressing some of the key challenges in plasma exhaust physics, advanced con...

An electrochemical amperometric ethylene sensor with solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) and semi-planar three electrode topology involving a working, pseudoreference, and counter electrode is presented. The polymer electrolyte is based on the ionic liquid 1-butyl 3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [B...

In recent years, numerous researches and studies confirm differences between Generations in their values, attitudes, or characteristics. However, the challenge is to get to know the Generation Z, whose individuals are currently entering the labor market for research and practical application....

The experimental study deals with the investigation of the effect of diverse crystallinity of imidazolium ionic-liquid-based SPE on conductivity and current fluctuations. The experimental study was carried out on samples consisting of [EMIM][TFSI] as ionic liquid, PVDF as a polymer matrix an...

Biomechanical effects of compression and influence of physical factors have been discussed based on the basic knowledge of chronic venous insufficiency, patho-physiology and compression bandaging principles, including materials necessary for optimal creation of compression bandaging. Independent and dynamic...

Metrology and measurement processes use some basic quality management tools. For proper security of metrological confirmation, we must use quality management tools at different levels, as metrology, measuring processes and quality management are closely linked.

Some basic quality management tools have been used since the beginning of factory production, additional tools have been developed so as to require continually improving quality management system. Currently, the production quality is important parameter for the management of the company and&...

Digitization of industrial processes using new technologies (IoT—Internet of Things, IoE—Internet of Everything), including the agriculture industry, are globally gaining growing interest. The precise management of production inputs is essential for many agricultural companies because limited or expensive ...
