Summary: This paper proposes a method based on a nonlinear triangular wave driving mode and using a square wave index for pixel dislocation correction in laser confocal scanning microscopes with high speed. By establishing the equation for the nonlinear triangular wave driving voltage and calculating the switching frequency of the Y-galvanometer's driving voltage based on the collected switching frequency of the X-galvanometer, the uniformity of the galvanometer's scanning trajectories is ensured. Introducing a row segmentation flag pulse into the one-dimensional data stream collected by the AD, and using the square wave index for data segmentation, enables timely and accurate row data segmentation through hardware methods, while correcting pixel dislocation.

Summary: Emerging manufacturing technologies allow for the design of electrocatalyst morphology on the nanoscale to improve efficiency in electrolysis processes. This study investigates the impact of electrode-attached hydrogen bubbles on electrode performance, depending on surface morphology and wettability. Nickel-based electrocatalysts with hydrophilic and hydrophobic nanostructures are manufactured and their surface properties are characterized. Despite a larger electrochemically active surface area, electrochemical analysis shows that samples with more pronounced hydrophobic properties perform worse at industrially relevant current densities. High-speed imaging reveals larger bubble detachment radii with higher hydrophobicity, indicating that gas blockage outweighs the benefits of nanostructuring. Additionally, a slight decrease in bubble size of 7.5% is observed with an increase in current density in 1 M KOH.

Summary: Internal combustion engines are subject to increasing regulations on efficiency and environmental impact, necessitating advanced optimization strategies for engine components. Previous studies have shown that amorphous carbon coatings can significantly improve the friction properties of piston rings. This study further optimizes the tribology by fabricating microchannels on the coating using laser interference, resulting in a significant reduction in piston assembly friction. Subsequent simulations demonstrate that the friction changes are due to the compression ring microtexture, which increases hydrodynamic pressure and reduces losses.

Summary: Process monitoring is a crucial strategy in laser-based manufacturing to improve reliability, efficiency, and economic profit. Laser surface texturing workstations utilize monitoring techniques to analyze surface topography and enhance the quality of produced workpieces. In this study, dot-like periodic surface structures were fabricated on stainless steel samples using direct laser interference patterning (DLIP). A scatterometry-based measurement device was used to indirectly determine the depth and period of the topography. The estimated average depth and spatial period of the dot-like structures had relative errors below 15% and 2% respectively. This new process monitoring approach greatly enhances quality assurance in DLIP processing.

Summary: This study investigates the wetting behavior of microstructured polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foils produced by plate-to-plate hot embossing for polar and nonpolar liquids. Stainless steel plates with single-scaled and hierarchical textures created by direct laser writing and two-beam direct laser interference patterning are used as stamps for the embossing step. The imprinted microstructures, consisting of pillar- and line-like textures, exhibit increased water contact angles and superoleophilic behavior. Time-resolved measurements reveal rapid oil droplet spreading on the hierarchical textures up to velocities of 1.4 mm(2) s(-1). This functionalization of PET foils opens up new possibilities for various industrial applications such as using oil-based paints instead of solvent-based ones, improving lubricant distribution in mechanical components, or oil-water separation in maritime environments.

Summary: Light beams possess three types of angular momentum, namely spin angular momentum, extrinsic orbital angular momentum, and intrinsic orbital angular momentum. The interaction between these momenta leads to the spin-orbit interaction of light and topological effects. This study predicts a new topological effect resulting from the influence of extrinsic orbital angular momentum on spin angular momentum in converging asymmetrical light beams. It manifests as the transformation of linear polarized light into elliptically polarized light when an asymmetrical beam passes through the left or right half of the focal plane. The measured value of the topological circular amplitude anisotropy R was found to be R = +/- (0.60 +/- 0.08) x 10(-3). This new effect contributes to our understanding of light and has potential applications in developing sensors in optics.

However, the use of planar targets for coordinate measurement in vision systems has several drawbacks, including calibration difficulties and limited viewing angles. On the other hand, the use of sphere targets is infrequent in vision-based coordinate metrology due to the lack of efficient multi-view vision algorithms for accurate sphere measurements.
