THE ANALYSIS OF CHOSEN TECHNOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN THE PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING COMPONENTS OF LANDING GEAR OF STRUCTURAL POST AIRCRAFT

High quality of components used in constructions of Landing Gears forces the manufacturers to choose appropriate technologies in order to manufacture and control dimensions of particular details. It is especially difficult to predict how the elements of huge dimensions will act during heat treat and chemical processing. The changes in size and. shape of the elements of suspension of STRUCTURAL POST aircraft are connected with hardening stresses. This requires accurate determining of allowance of final machining. The analysis of processing parameters and manufacturing of a precise component is possible with the use of high-tech coordinate measuring techniques based on touch and untouched measurements . The highest quality of machines used in manufacturing and measuring as well as innovative technologies used during the process of manufacturing STRUCTURAL POST components result in effects assumed by the designing engineer. The aim of this article is to present issues connected with technological process of manufacturing STRUCTURAL POST components as well as the analysis of particular parameters of manufacturing process which have an impact on the accuracy of dimensions and shape of the final product. These parameters are also responsible for functionality, operational reliability and safety of the Landing Gear

Adaptive Modulation Amplitude in 2D Spectral-Spatial EPR Imaging

A study concerning the image quality in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Imaging (EPRI) in 2D spectral-spatial (2D SSI) experiments is presented. The aim of the measurements is to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the projections by applying a more consciously selected modulation amplitude parameter. Data is gathered by applying three constant and one adaptive modulation amplitude. The three fixed modulation amplitudes values are leading to undermodulated (0.01 G), partially overmodulated (0.15 G) and fully overmodulated (0.65 G) projections. The study demonstrates the advantages of the adaptive method, which involves selecting different and dependent on cosine function modulation amplitudes for each projection. The study is performed on a phantom containing four tubes of LiPc and TCNQ, characterized by a different peak to peak linewidth and spin concentration

One of the most recommended kinds of treatment is radiotherapy (RT), but irradiation (IR) can affect not only the cancer tumor but also the healthy tissue around it. Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were proposed as a radiosensitizing agent for RT which would allow for lower radiation doses, reducing the negative radiation effects on healthy tissues. The main objective of the study is to assess the dependence on the radiosensitivity of BC (MDA-MB-231) and normal mammary gland epithelial cells (MCF12A) to ionizing radiation, caused by functionalized AuNPs under diverse conditions.Methods: The viability, uptake, reactive oxygen species induction, and mitochondrial membrane potential in cells were analyzed applying a time and concentration-dependent manner. After different incubation times with AuNPs, cells were exposed to 2 Gy. The determination of radiation effect in combination with AuNPs was investigated using the clonogenic assay, p53, and γH2AX level, as well as, Annexin V staining.Results: Our results highlighted the strong need for assessing the experimental conditions’ optimization before the AuNPs will be implemented with IR. Moreover, results indicated that AuNPs did not act universally in cells.Conclusion: AuNPs could be a promising tool as a radiotherapy sensitizing agent, but it should be specified and deeply investigated under what conditions it will be applied taking into consideration not only AuNPs modifications but also the model and experimental conditions.Keywords: oncology, nanotechnology, nanoparticles, radiotherapy, breast cance

Optical measurement of aircraft engine turbine blades

Manufacturing of aircraft engine turbine blades requires control of blade geometric parameters at different stages of technological process. Acceleration and automation of measurement process can affect the duration of the finished item production. Modern technologies for measurement of aircraft engine turbine blades are based on numerical machines - measurement process is based on processing of numerical data obtained by measurement using coordinate measuring machines.
