AbstractA square packed array of square-channels with long channel axis aligned radially is a useful structure for condensing grazing incidence flux to a focus. These devices, known as Lobster-eye optics for their similarity to the eyes of the macruran crustaceans, show great promise as the focusing optic in the next generation of X-ray all-sky monitors. At X-ray wavelengths the optimal Lobster-eye...
AbstractA magnetic variable reluctance stepping micromotor fabricated using LIGA processing is described which is integrated with an external planar coupled gear train and electromagnetic brake. Variable mechanical loading of the micromotor through the electrically controlled brake allows dynamometry measurements to be performed. All components are fabricated from electroplated 78 Permalloy. A planar...
