STEPPER MOTOR INTERFACING

Image
  The Stepper motor is a brushless DC motor that divides the full rotation angle of 360° into a number of equal steps. The motor is rotated by applying a certain sequence of control signals. The speed of rotation can be changed by changing the rate at which the control signals are applied. Various stepper motors with different step angles and torque ratings are available in the market. A microcontroller can be used to apply different control signals to the motor to make it rotate according to the need of the application. For more information about Stepper Motor and how to use it, refer to the topic Stepper Motor in the sensors and modules section.

Construction of Mercury Vapor Lamp

Image
  Construction of Mercury Vapor Lamp The construction and circuit for a mercury vapor lamp is shown in the figure below. It consists of an inner tube containing mercury vapor and it is made of hard glass. It also has an outer glass cover which protects the inner tube from coming in direct contact with the atmospheric temperature variations and also absorbs the UV rays emitted by the lamp during operation. The inner tube has a percentage of argon gas. The lamp has two main electrodes viz. main electrode 1 & 2, which are made of tungsten wire and an auxiliary (or starting) electrode which is spaced very close to one of the main electrodes.

Maintenance of Medical Devices

The aim of medical equipment maintenance is to inhibit medical device failures or inaccuracies; it’s essentially risk management. The simplest method is to develop preventive maintenance (PM) schedules strictly based on the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) recommendations, because they state testing steps and recommended testing tools in their service manuals. This can affect decision making during procurement of test tools. It’s important to realise that references to specific devices are irrelevant if the same technological measurement characteristics exist. The same applies to alterations of PM procedures. A department can implement their own alternative maintenance schedule, if there is documented evidence that patient care is not adversely affected. Carefully selected biomedical test tools can lead to improved efficiencies, whilst producing reliable data, mitigating risk, and ensuring medical device quality assurance.
