Critical Factors of Physical Vapor Deposition
Written by: Denton Vacuum, LLC Prior to the coating process, consider all of the factors that play into quality of the film. Physical vapor deposition coating, or PVD coating, is one of the simplest and most commonly used methods for deposition. That being said, the process of PVD coating requires the user to focus on critical aspects that directly affect the quality of the deposited material. Features The process of PVD coating occurs in a high vacuum environment with plasma being activated to reach extreme temperatures. The temperatures that the substrate is coated with reach a ballpark figure of 450 degrees to 1000 degrees. Critical Factors The most critical factor…

Common Therapeutic Applications for Oligonucleotides
Oligonucleotides continue to enhance medical research. Oligonucleotides play a large role in both therapeutics and research. Their capabilities have led to researchers developing enhanced forms of these oligos to aid in the systemic enrichment of life’s challenges. Here are some common applications of oligos that are used today. Allele-Specific Oligonucleotides These probes are generally utilized in testing for diseases such as cystic fibrosis and sickle-cell anemia. Common point mutations are what this type of oligonucleotide specializes and thrives in. How they go about determining whether or not the samples mutate is by comparing two different types of oligonucleotides, one with a standard sequence and the other with the proposed disease.…

How Deposition Plays a Role in the Food Industry
Written by: Denton Vacuum, LLC Summary: Learn how the food industry utilizes the process of deposition. In the food packaging industry, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) are both important applications that are widely used throughout the industry. Two of the most important types of application in food packaging in regards to coating are silicone oxide and amorphous carbon solely based on their properties. PECVD is a process where a thin film is produced on top of a particle. It utilizes plasma to allow for deposition at lower temperatures. The process consists of a substrate, the target, being layered with a film that starts out as…

Douglas Engelbart and Modern Computing
By Samuel Phineas Upham These days, most of us interact with computers which means that almost all of us use a mouse to interact with elements we see on the screen. That human-computer interaction is the brainchild of Douglas Engelbart, who was one of the earliest pioneers of the power of the Internet. He worked with the Augment Research Center Lab, where he pioneered the study of how humans interacted with computers. There, he developed important ideologies that guide much of computer usage today. Aside from the mouse, Engelbart also helped to develop a pre-cursor to the graphical user interface. During the early 1950s, he stopped thinking about his career…

This Medical Breakthrough Will Change Debilitating Injuries
Meet the world’s first recipient of a mechanical hand. Imagine a world where someone who loses a hand or a foot is able to carry on exactly the way that they used to. We already saw some of this amazing work on display at the Olympics, where we’ve seen runners with missing limbs, but a new breakthrough is promising to unlock the potential of robotics in medical science. Staff Sergeant James Sides was on his second tour in Afghanistan when he uncovered an improvised explosive device buried in the road. He attempted to utilize his training in ordinance diffusing, but the bomb went off close to his body. The blast…
