An electrochemical amperometric ethylene sensor with solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) and semi-planar three electrode topology involving a working, pseudoreference, and counter electrode is presented. The polymer electrolyte is based on the ionic liquid 1-butyl 3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide [B...

At present, the most commonly used electrical insulating materials, including cold-curing epoxy resins, are well designed for normal operating conditions. However, new generations of materials should also be capable of withstanding extreme emergency conditions, e.g., in case of fire. For this...

This paper deals with the assembly of SMD chip resistors onto a conductive textile ribbon by soldering or gluing. The main goal of our research was to verify the reliability of joints after jerk testing of ribbons. The results showed that soldered / glued joints on&#...

This article adds more information to the problem of natural ester use as an electroinsulating uid in cellulose paper-oil systems, e.g., for use in power transformers. An accelerated thermal aging (120, 140 and 160 C) of samples consisting of cellulose paper (transformerboard), a t...

Analyte flow influences the performance of every gas sensor; thus, most of these sensors usually contain a diffusion barrier (layer, cover, inlet) that can prevent the negative impact of a sudden change of direction and/or the rate of analyte flow, as well as various unwa...

This paper deals with the influence of different apertures shape in stencil on mechanical shear strength, electrical resistance and insulation distance. In the experiment, the SMD chip components 0805 were assembled on flexible substrate by electrically conductive adhesives (MG 8331S, CA 315...

Digitization, modern technology (IoT), development of sensor technology and data processing in recent years it has started to promote also in the agricultural sector (crop, livestock production) in the Czech Republic Republic. The aim of the paper is to explain the general principles&#x...

Partial discharges are one of the most commonly occurring physical phenomena that can have a negative effect on the overall life of electrical equipment. The most basic types (besides surface and internal) are discharges occurring in places with a small radius of curvature. At ...

Production companies are adopting new methods for the improvement of their managing production processes. The cost, quality and time are still key important attributes for process improvement. This is reason why the Business Process Management (BPM) is the core of management in differen...

This paper deals with the topic of composite insulation materials for rotating machines and it is primarily pointed to the synthesis of new three-component insulation system. In connection with this research, the basic components of the insulation system are selected and described by&#x...

This paper is focused on the study of copper thick film metallization on AlN. The copper metallization was realized by Thick Printed Copper (TPC) technology. The copper films were printed with a new adhesion copper paste designed for both AlN and Al2O3 substrates. Scanning ele...

Composites prepared from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and tubular halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) with different contents of HNTs were comprehensively tested. HNTs were utilized to suppress the intensity of heat release from the ignition of LDPE. The results revealed that the large polarity d...

This paper is focused on the thick-film power resistors with copper terminals. These terminals are created by the new Thick Printed Copper (TPC) technology. This technology is based on sequential screen printing and firing of copper paste in nitrogen atmosphere on an alumina substr...

Prion disorders are fatal neurodegenerative diseases caused by the autocatalytic conversion of a natively occurring prion protein (PrPC) into its misfolded infectious form (PrPTSE). The proven resistance of PrPTSE to common disinfection procedures increases the risk of prion transmission in medic...

Small satellites such as CubeSats are not adequately protected in the cosmic environment from ionizing radiation due to the low weight limit, which does not allow the use of heavy shielding materials with the high atomic number. Therefore, the power supply system of such small...

This paper presents a design concept of new radio communication subsystem, intended for use on the PilsenCUBE nanosatellite. The hardware and software solution is based on previous experiences with the VZLUSAT-1 setup and operation. Our aim is to overcome weak points which were fou...

One of the main goals of the PilsenCUBE-II picosatellite project is to offer on board payload space for the student's experiments for the students from the various secondary schools of the western Bohemia. The students experiments have to be simple enough in scope of skill...

This papers deals with the possibilities of implementation of process management in health care facilities. Emphasis is placed on clarity, simplification of processes to a level that meets legislative and standardization requirements, but minimizes the administrative burden on health professionals.

This article deals with the assembly of SMD chip components onto a flexible substrate by using non-conductive adhesives. In the experiments, two electrically conductive adhesives (ECA) and two non-conductive adhesives (NCA) were used. The verification of the properties and usability of NCAs&...
