     Stereo Lithography and its Uses in Rapid Prototyping

      Stereo lithography, also known as 3-D layering or 3-D printing, allows you to create solid, plastic, 3-D objects from CAD drawings in a matter of hours.
      Whether you are a mechanical engineer wanting to verify the fit of a part or an inventor looking to create a plastic prototype of an invention, stereo
      lithography gives you a fast, easy way to turn CAD drawings into real objects. We will discuss how this process works.

     Argon Plasma Produced with a Radio-Frequency Antenna

      An argon plasma was created using a radio-frequency discharge. The plasma is similar to those created in RF discharges used in ion propulsion engines on
      spacecraft such as the Deep Space probe. This project compared the light emitted from the argon plasma with the plasma density and electron
      temperature, using a Langmuir probe to measure the plasma characteristics of different plasmas. The Langmuir probe is the basic plasma diagnostic used
      on all satellites and spacecraft.
