Abstract: The AlN nucleation layer (NL) has been deposited on Si (111) substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The result indicates that the growth mode of the AlN NL is in the form of 2-dimensional plane and 3-dimensional island. The proportion of 3-dimensional region increases gradually and the 2-dimensional region reduces correspondingly with the increase of growth time. The decrease of the coverage ratio of AlN grains in the 2-dimensional growth region is due to the effect of etching. AlN film with the single crystal orientation has been deposited on the optimized AlN NL.

Abstract: An alkaline fuel cell (AFC) is a device that converts the chemical energy of a fuel directly into electrical energy and heat. Efforts to improve the performance of the AFC is continuously conducted, and one of the work that has been investigated in this study was to examine the effect of the use of stainless steel as an electrode in the AFC. More specifically, this study focuses on to the influence of the thickness of the stainless steel plates used as an electrode. During the experiments, the design of the AFC with a particular dimension has been prepared with the flow of hydrogen enters at the anode and the flow of oxygen enters at the cathode at a certain pressure. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is used as an electrolyte with a particular concentration dissolved in the water. The experiment results showed that the variation in the thickness of the stainless steel plates used as an electrode significantly affect the performance of the AFC. Similar results were also obtained for the effect of KOH concentration in the electrolyte also provide significant impact on the performance of the AFC, especially from the electrical voltage and current obtained during the experiment.

Abstract: This paper deals with some problem on thickness of a plate rested on Winkler ́s foundation using the first order optimization method, while maintaining different restrictive conditions. The optimization analysis is based on a reduction of the thickness in the individual points. The aim is to obtain a minimum volume of the foundation plate. Finally some results of optimal design are presented.

Abstract: Titanium Dioxide film will be deposited on a glass slide substrate by spin coating technique which is the frequently used technique because of its easy operation and cheap due to the sol gel preparation. The deposited films were then characterized by cross section technique using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) to investigate the thickness based on the number of coatings. Then by the same FESEM, the surface morphology was studied to see the grain size and the porosity of each film based on the number of coatings. AFM was used to see the uniformity of the thin film's surface. Then by using current voltage (IV) measurement, the electrical property of the film can be studied, from IV characterization the resistivity of the film will be calculated. In this investigation, it is found that by increasing the coating layer, the resistivity values were decreasing whereas the conductivity of the film is increasing since conductivity is the inverse of resistivity. The porosity of the film also increases with the coating layers.

Abstract: The preservation ability of coatings applied to the materials of steel products, steel structures, etc., for short-term corrosion protection is a very delicate and modern theme. In cooperation with the project Pre-seed, we can pay closer attention to activities involved with this topic. The project Pre-seed at the Technical University of Ostrava, which is part of the Operational Programme of Research and Development for Innovation, attempts to support the preparation of the commercialization of promising technologies and inventions with high application potential that were developed at the Technical University of Ostrava. This paper focuses on the short-term corrosion protection of steel products, steel structures, and engineering products using thin nanocoatings. This experimental work is primarily concerned with the production and development of samples that demonstrate the innovativeness and functionality of the issue. Furthermore, the project addresses important factors affecting the quality and durability of the coating system. The results of the experimental part show us some very interesting outputs that need to be further studied and developed.

Abstract: The process of hollow conical forming is described for two schemes: crimp-distribution for hollow billets and stretching from sheet billet with subsequent crimping for cylindrical blank. The item thickness varying was investigated for these schemes. Dependency of technological allowance ratio on crimping coefficient and expansion ration for items allowance was investigated. The effectiveness of stretching from sheet billet with subsequent crimping was proven.

Abstract: The inflatable bedpan is designed to provide comfortable, convenient, safe, hygienic, efficient and easy to use to the patients and their caretakers. In order to investigate the suitability thickness of inflatable bedpan for the pressure inflow in bedpan tube, the analysis is done using Catia analysis. The static analysis work is carried out to inflatable bedpan cross section of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and their relative performances have been observed respectively. The thickness 0.5 mm shows the highest Von Mises Stress which is 21100 kPa compared to 0.8and 1.0 mm thicknesses. The lowest Von Mises Stress observed at thickness 1.0 mm which is 2990 kPa. The less stress obtained can encourage perfect shape of the design. In this paper, by observing the result of static structure analysis obtained, 1 mm is suggested as best thickness to be used as an inflatable bedpan wall because it can withstand more pressure while maintaining its stability.

Abstract: Tencel fabrics were treated with low pressure plasma with air for different treatment time. The samples were tested their thickness and calculated each mean value of fabrics treated with different time. The result indicated that samples became thicker with the prolonged plasma treatment time. The samples were also divided into two groups and tore along warp and weft direction, respectively, to measure the influence of plasma treatment time on the tearing strength. The result of the measurement implied that the tearing strength of samples treated 1 minute by plasma decreased dramatically, when they were compared with the untreated ones. However, the decrease of the tearing strength became slight when the plasma treatment increased to 5, 10 and 20 minutes.

Abstract: The coulometric or anodic de-plating technique can be used for measuring the thickness of coatings on virtually all substrates such as steel, non-ferrous metals or insulating material bases. This study reports on application of an electrochemical de-plating technique for measuring the thickness of multilayer Ni/Cu coatings electrodeposited on a steel substrate. Principles of a coulometric method by local anodic dissolution according to ISO 2177:2003 have been explained. The phase analysis of the Ni/Cu multi-layer coatings was performed using GIXD technique. The summary of the GIXD diffraction patterns obtained in this experiment indicates that such electrocoating is composed of two sub-layers of nickel and copper.

Abstract: The thickness of flexible waterproof layer is one of the most important characters in waterproof project construction. There are some problems in the traditional waterproof layer thickness measuring, such as destructiveness, low efficiency and high cost. Just because of these faults, a measuring technology, based on B-Mode ultrasound image is introduced. According to the characters of the waterproof layer, on how to accomplish waterproof layer's thickness measuring is studied, using image analyzing technology. And finally it is realized with a certain measuring precision.
