Architectural pressure is the lack of a approach layout to reply to new marketplace calls for. it's an incredible but usually hid factor in excessive tech structures. In From medical software to business machine, we glance on the phenomenon of architectural rigidity in embedded structures within the context of a transmission electron microscope process equipped through FEI corporation. ordinarily, transmission electron microscopes are operated by hand medical tools, yet additionally they have huge, immense power to be used in business purposes. despite the fact that, this new marketplace has really diversified features. There are robust calls for for reasonably priced research, exact and special measurements, and ease-of-use. those calls for may be translated into new procedure traits, e.g. reliability, predictability and excessive throughput, in addition to new features, e.g. automation of electron microscopic analyses, computerized focusing and positioning functions.

From clinical software to business machine takes a realistic method of the matter of architectural pressure. particularly, it describes the results of the Condor undertaking, a joint endeavour via a consortium of business and educational companions. during this collaboration an built-in strategy used to be necessary to effectively mix quite a few clinical effects and express the 1st steps in the direction of a brand new course. procedure modelling and prototyping have been the major ideas to strengthen larger realizing and leading edge recommendations to the issues linked to architectural stress.

From medical tools to commercial machine is concentrated in most cases at business practitioners, particularly method architects and engineers engaged on excessive tech platforms. it could possibly as a result be learn with out specific wisdom of electron microscope structures or microscopic purposes. The ebook types a bridge among educational and utilized technological know-how, and excessive tech commercial perform. through exhibiting the methods and strategies constructed for the electron microscope, it really is was hoping that procedure designers will achieve a few insights in easy methods to care for architectural tension in comparable demanding situations within the excessive tech industry.

Example text

1 Concept Car 27 Fig. 3 Significant disturbances are introduced by changes to the parameter settings of the electron microscope optimum measurement procedures and workflow given the required information needs. In this case the measurement procedure consists of setting the microscope to optimum measurement settings, capturing images, finding particles in the image, determining accurately the size of each particle, and keeping track of the locations and results. While designing this workflow it is useful to develop new organizing elements: for example we defined ‘units’ to describe certain phases of the workflow.

It is hard to find and tackle issues related to these new applications. To be able to identify and explore any issues, it is very beneficial to choose a set of microscopy applications as leading cases. The following section deals with one particular application investigated in the context of the leading cases (Concept Cars, see Sect. 1) in the Condor project: particle size measurements. This is a transmission electron microscopy application determining the sizes of a large number of particles in the range of a few to hundreds of nanometres.

2 Throughput Maximisation of Particle Size Measurements Wouter Van den Broek EMAT, University of Antwerp, Belgium Context Measuring the size of a large number of particles by an operator is time consuming and expensive. Furthermore, there is a risk of involuntary ‘cherry picking’, for example when a few big particles are neglected in favour of smaller ones, thereby distorting the radius distribution. Automation improves the throughput, allows continuous measurements, 24 h a day, and can be more reliable.
