Name: | Large Hydraulic Printing Press (A0) |
Description: | "The Beevers Press uses a hydraulic operating system that can generate pressures from almost zero to the highest pressure required for etching. It is as easy to print etchings at a high pressure as it is to print lithos and blocks at medium to low pressures. A tray system is used for inserting work into the press, and similarly for removing work immediately after the print is made." This hydraulically operated etching press is designed to overcome the shortcomings of a roller-type printing press which causes damage to plate-edge and paper, reveals a directional ink movement, causes paper 'glide' and 'stretching', lacks a measurable pressure control with 'hit and miss pressure changing' amongst other flaws.

Name: | Anagama Kiln |
Description: | The Anagama kiln (cave kiln), is an approx. 200cu/ft single chamber ceramics kiln which reaches temperatures of between 1300 and 1400 centigrade. There is no wall separating the fire from the work and through the duration of the firing (usually lasting 76 hours), ash from the fire lands on the pots and melts to form a natural ash glaze. Also, due to the fluctuating atmospheres generated within the chamber as wood is introduced and burnt, unique and stunning colours and surface qualities may be generated in the clays and glazes stacked inside. |

Name: | X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer |
Description: | Fully integrated, monochromated small-spot X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS) system. State-of-the-art performance, increased ease of use with multi-user environment and fully automated workflow from sample entry to report generation. X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) or often referred to in general terms as Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA). Used in the element identification of samples and can also provide information about an element's chemical environment or oxidation state. Can be used for almost any solid material, including insulators. Typical applications
TheoryIn XPS, the surface of a solid sample is irradiated with X-rays. These excite photoemission from the core levels of the atoms present on the surface and the resulting photoelectrons emerging from the surface are collected and their energy analysed. The kinetic energy of a photoelectron depends on the binding energy of electrons in the core levels from which photoemission is excited and each element gives rise to a set of peaks at characteristic energies. Hence the photoelectron spectrum allows identification of the elements present in the surface. The concentrations of these elements can be calculated from the relative intensities of the photoelectron peaks. In addition, the emitted electrons are of such an energy that only those from the top few atomic layers have a significant chance of escaping from the surface without losing energy, hence the technique is highly surface sensitive. XPS can also provide detailed chemical information about the surface, as the energy of the photoelectron is dependent on the local chemical environment of the atom from which it arose. This often allows the chemistry of the surface to be inferred and the functional groups present to be identified. Upgrades

Name: | Simulation Manikin |
Description: | SimMan is a full body, adult manikin that allows the simulation of Basic and Advanced Life Support Skills and Assessment to develop both individual and team skills. The simulator allows observation and recognition of most vital signs which are used in emergency medicine either directly on the manikin itself or on the included simulated Patient Monitor. When used correctly, these features will support the students’ competence ability to reach the correct diagnosis based on active observation as opposed to being prompted by instructor cues. The patient monitor also doubles as display for other functions, such as display of 12-lead ECG and X-rays. The manikin allows for most relevant medical intervention to be performed according to their medical guidelines and protocols. The Laerdal SimMan contains an advanced airway allowing for simulation of difficult airway management cases. The anatomy can be changed during the scenario (via remote control) to indicate changes to the patient condition or as a response to students’ intervention. Correct form and technique are required to perform direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Correct use of a variety of airway adjuncts will successfully ventilate the patient simulator. SimMan is delivered with a set of normal pupils inserted in the head's eye sockets and a separate case containing 3 sets of replacement pupils (normal, constricted, dilated) for simulation of various medical conditions. The simulated patient monitor is a replication of the Philips IntelliVue patient monitor, which includes the ability to set up the screen layout in various ways. It also allows configuration outside the IntelliVue’s features to mimic other patient monitor types as well. SimMan is operated through a Software (SW) which runs on a PC. Interaction with the SW is done through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) where the various vital signs parameters are changed directly or through pre-programmed scenarios. The SW also allows automatic and manual logging of scenario events as well as video capture. The events logged during a scenario can be shown in a debrief viewer together with video capture. The log is synchronized with the video capture. This allows the instructor to review both the log and actual performance during debriefing. The debrief can also be stored for later review. |

Name: | Hydraulic Printing Press (A3) |
Description: | "The Beevers Press uses a hydraulic operating system that can generate pressures from almost zero to the highest pressure required for etching. It is as easy to print etchings at a high pressure as it is to print lithos and blocks at medium to low pressures. A tray system is used for inserting work into the press, and similarly for removing work immediately after the print is made." This hydraulically operated etching press is designed to overcome the shortcomings of a roller-type printing press which causes damage to plate-edge and paper, reveals a directional ink movement, causes paper 'glide' and 'stretching', lacks a measurable pressure control with 'hit and miss pressure changing' amongst other flaws.

Name: | Contact angle measurement equipment |
Description: | The DataPhysics OCA 20 is a fully automatic image capture system, in addition to contact angle measurements, it can calculate the surface and interfacial tension of liquids by means of a pendant drop method or for high-viscous materials by use of a Lamella method. The main advantage being its relative ease and quickness of operation. Contact angle measurements are useful for wettability and surface free energy estimations on a range of solid surfaces. These studies are important to a number of industries including painting, printing, adhesive bonding, polymer processing and manufacturing. A commanly used method is the sessile drop technique to study wettability. In addition, advanced and receded contact angles can be measured and the difference between these, the hysteresis, can give an indication of surface chemical heterogeneity and roughness.

Name: | Plasma Cleaner |
Description: | Bench-top plasma cleaning system used for the removal of organic contamination (hydrocarbon) from electron microscopy specimens and specimen holders. Can also be used to remove carbon films from samples that have previously been carbon evaporation coated. Plasma cleaning enhances electron microscopy imaginary and can be used to remove carbonaceous material for compositional surface analysis without causing damage surface or topography. Sample must be attached to a stub or in the case of TEM, it must be 3mm to fit in the TEM holder. Theory - Plasma cleaningIn a nonequilibrium, high frequency plasma, free electrons are accelerated to high velocities by an oscillating electromagnetic field that excites gas atoms and creates the plasma. The plasma ions impinge upon the surface with energies of less than 12eV, which is below the specimen’s sputtering threshold. Cleaning is solely by reactive gas compounds formed by the plasma chemically reacting with carbonaceous material on the specimen and specimen holder. To optimize cleaning, a mixture of 25% oxygen and 75% argon is generally recommended. An oxygen plasma is highly effective in removing organic (hydrocarbon) contamination. The reaction yields H2O, CO, and CO2 that are evacuated by the vacuum system. |

Name: | Anechoic Chamber |
Description: | Anechoic chamber with full vehicle access, used for acoustics and vibration measurements with optional noise flow generator. No gas extraction facilities. ConstructionThe Anechoic Chamber is built as a double-shell system. It is acoustically isolated from the rest of the building and from adjacent reverberation chamber by an air gap and is supported on vibration isolation mounts. The inner wall consists of concrete, at least 230 mm thick, the outer wall is a brickwork. The inner room is mounted on VIBREX OMEGA springs. The room has a wire mesh floor. For bringing in larger test objects, including passenger cars, the room can be provided with a removable grid floor. Wall liningWalls, ceiling and floor of the Anechoic Chamber are lined with glass-fiber wedges (G+H ASONAD) that provide sound absorption at frequencies above 100 Hz and thus prevent sound reflection from the room boundaries, so that free-field conditions hold. DimensionsThe effective dimensions between wedges are: L x W x H=6.4 x 5.2 x 5.3 m (176.4 cubic metres) The acoustically usable 'free field' range measures are: L x W x H=4.7 x 3.5 x 3.6 m (59.2 cubic metres) Access:The Anechoic Chamber can be accessed from the Reverberation Chamber through a double wing door, from the outside through a personal emergency door, and through a vehicle access door. The two doors to the outside are built as double door systems. Reverberation ChamberConstructionThe Reverberation Chamber is the inner shell of a double shell building structure. It is made of concrete. DimensionsThe clear measures of the room are: L x W x H=11.5 x 7.0 x 6.0 m (483 cubic metres) The Reverberation Chamber is not empty: all acoustic equipment of the Acoustics and Vibration Research Unit, including furniture, are kept inside. AccessThe Reverberation Chamber can be accessed from the outside through a double door system. At the opposite side the door to the Anechoic Chamber is located. |
