The ATLAS ITk Pixel system requires large-scale flex circuits for low-voltage power, high-voltage sensor bias, and command/data transmission due to tight space constraints. This report focuses on the design and production of the services running from the modules to the first patch panel of the ITk Pixel Outer Barrel. The results from the quality co...

Mechanical vibration has long been recognized as one of the major drivers for fretting degradation in electrical connector used in automotive systems. The use of electrical connector in a vehicle is preceded by the validation of components that verify the reliability and functionality of the components over the assumed vehicle lifetime. The validat...

This paper reviews the bus tapes used for the barrel and end cap detectors for the ATLAS ITk strip detector. The long copper/polyimide tapes with narrow track and gap are very challenging to produce with an acceptable yield. Two different technologies for these tapes are compared. After several iterations, barrel and end cap tapes are in production...

An on-detector power distribution scheme for the High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) Phase-2 upgrade of CMS is under development. This scheme is based on a heavy-copper flexible printed circuit board (FPC), allowing for an efficient use of the tight integration space, with minimal insulation overhead, excellent electrical and thermal performance a...

[EN] Lime and plaster were two fundamental materials used in the historical construction of Valencia. For centuries, buildings and different written documents have reflected their use. This article aims to provide a brief historical review of their supply, from the 14th to the 19th century, considering everything from their extraction to their sale...

In the last few years, the microfluidic production of nanoparticles (NPs) is becoming a promising alternative to conventional industrial approaches (e.g., nanoprecipitation, salting out, and emulsification-diffusion) thanks to the production efficiency, low variability, and high controllability of the production parameters. Nevertheless, the develo...

Hybrid MEDIPIX detectors are widely used for a variety of applications including scientific experiments at synchrotrons, X-ray Free-Electron-Lasers (XFEL), or with other radiation sources. For many years, MEDIPIX Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) and sensors are usually processed on large wafers using a photolithographic lift-off proc...

Our sponsor, Jeremy Goren, wants to see his patented expandable wheel design come to life. He requires a functional final product actuated by linear actuators and with a continuous, circular outer shell. The overall design can be broken up into 2 parts: the inner hub and outer shell. The wheel's shell will consist of a 12-piece outer shell that gui...

This report aims to allow our sponsor, to review our design process of the Hitch Cart Landing Gear Prototype. In the design overview section of this report, we discuss the primary design modifications we made to the wheel mechanism of the existing hitch cart prototype, including the addition of the ACME screws and the folding brackets. This allows ...
