Micromachining Using Electrochemical Discharge Phenomenon

Fundamentals and Application of Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving

By: Rolf Wuthrich,Jana D. Abou Ziki

Micro-machining is an advanced manufacturing technique of growing importance, and adoption of micro-machining using electrochemical discharges (Micro-ECDM) has increased steadily in recent years. Among new developments is the interest of industry in Micro-ECDM. However, the potential of the technology is not being fully utilized and there is no comprehensive reference book available today covering it. Micromachining Using Electrochemical Discharge Phenomenon, Second Edition fills this gap. It is unique in its detailed coverage of all aspects of the Micro-ECDM process, as well as Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving (SACE). As such, it covers technologies such as chemical etching, micro-drilling, and other material removal mechanisms, high aspect ratio machining, design and construction of the machining apparatus, and a wide range of applications. The new edition compares Micro-ECDM and SACE with other micromachining technologies such as laser machining and traditional EDM. ECDM is used for machining of electrically non-conductive materials. Micro-ECDM/SACE is mainly applied to glass and the book focuses on glass, but the authors also present new results on other materials such as ceramics. In addition, techniques to modify material properties for the machining process are explained. The authors discuss machining strategies including the latest developments in micro-texturing of glass micro-channels and reports on developments in controlling and analysis aspects of machining. This book is a unique reference for engineers and industrial researchers involved in development, design and use of micromachining, chemical micro-drilling or chemical engraving techniques and equipment. - Only all-encompassing reference coving Micro-ECDM and SACE available on the market - Covers a wide range of applications, including applications in the MEMS industry and the Medical Devices and Medical Diagnostics industries - New edition includes expanded sections on comparing Micro-ECDM/SACE with other micromachining technologies

Tax Planning with Holding Companies - Repatriation of US Profits from Europe

Concepts, Strategies, Structures

By: Rolf Eicke

The book deals with tax planning with holding companies located in Europe, Asia of the Caribbean. It analyses the problem of repatriating U.S. profits from Europe, going far beyond the routing of income via different companies. Instead, the approach includes an analysis of the interdependencies between international tax competition, holding company regimes, and tax planning concepts in order to establish a basis for tax planning measures regardless of the fast changing legal environment for holding companies in the different countries.

Fake News in Science and Education

Leaving Weak Thinking Behind

By: Rolf Arnold

The debate over the facts is in full swing. Many people do not merely invent facts, but also feel the need to spread them. The lies and fake news that serve the cause of populism is rightly appalling. Deliberate disinformation has become a means of controlling politics and public opinion. The purpose of this book is to oppose this up-and-coming phenomenon of “weak thought.” It is a passionate plea for a new Age of Enlightenment. Scientists tend to be much more skeptical about “truths”. In the process of formulating evidenced-based reasoning, undisputed facts are not deliberately hidden, but put forwards for open debate. The free expression of opinion, a free press, and the freedom of research and teaching guarantee the discussion and debate needed to argue the factual evidence in a democracy. The effectiveness of education is an important issue to consider. Learning has always been a way to deal with uncertainty. An important aspect of education in our modern world is about preparing learners to deal with change. It is a kind of preparation for the insecurity of not knowing what is coming and an openness that threatens to withdraw the proven and the validated.

Micromachining Using Electrochemical Discharge Phenomenon

Fundamentals and Applications of Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving

By: Rolf Wüthrich

This book presents an unconventional and largely unknown technology, which is able to micro-machine at relatively low cost glass, polymers and other materials. This process is called Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving (SACE), or Electro Chemical Discharge Machining (ECDM). First presented in 1968 in Japan by Kurafuji and Suda, this technology was studied essentially in the academic world and mainly applied for micro-fluidic devices. This book explains the fundamentals of SACE, promotes the technology, and encourages researchers and engineers from industry to use it for their specific applications. Therefore, the book, after presenting in details the fundaments of SACE (in particular the Electrochemical Discharges), deals mainly with practical aspects of implementing the machining technology. The book is written so that researchers from fields other than micro-technology (e.g., from life science) will be able to build a simple machining set-up, together with his mechanical work-shop, for individual needs. Topics include: micro- and electrochemical discharge machining (including glass), microfluidics, non-conventional manufacturing, electrochemical discharges, biocompatibility, and anode effects Provides applicable information for engineers in industry dealing with micromachining of glass, polymers, and ceramics Covers a range of microfluidic devices (including micro-TAS) with applications in various fields like chemistry and life sciences

Numerical Methods for Engineering and Data Science

By: Rolf Wuthrich,Carole El Ayoubi

Numerical Methods for Engineering and Data Science guides students in implementing numerical methods in engineering and in assessing their limitations and accuracy, particularly using algorithms from the field of machine learning. The textbook presents key principles building upon the fundamentals of engineering mathematics. It explores classical techniques for solving linear and nonlinear equations, computing definite integrals, and differential equations. Emphasis is placed both on the theoretical underpinnings, with in depth discussion of the sources of errors, and in the practical implementation of these using Octave. Each chapter is supplemented with examples and exercises designed to reinforce the concepts and encourage hands-on practice. The second half of the book transitions into the realm of machine learning. The authors introduce basic concepts and algorithms, such as linear regression and classification. As in the first part of this book, a special focus is on the solid understanding of errors and practical implementation of the algorithms. In particular the concepts of bias, variance and noise are discussed in detail and illustrated with numerous examples. This book will be of interest to students in all areas of engineering, alongside mathematicians and scientists in industry looking to improve their knowledge of this important field.
