In an attempt toexplore the possibility of offering “Statics” as an on-line course it was offered as a hybrid course duringthe Fall 2012 semester at Kansas State university. The course was a combination of traditional classlectures and online lectures.Quizzes on the material taught during traditional class lectures and the online recorded lectures showedno major difference in students’ performance.

Manuallypositioning the probe arm from terminal to terminal on the device under test was both tediousand time consuming. In order to eliminate this extraneous work, the 3-axis movement of themicropositioner was achieved through servo motors which allowed a digital override to themanually controlled analog system. All the continuous rotation servo motors were connected toa microcontroller which communicated to personal computer (PC) workstation. The PC wasused to record the measurements from the device under test through universal asynchronousreceiver

Airlock’s have a tendency to cause shear in thematerials they move. K-Tron Salina has designed an airlock system and shear protector toaddress the problems of the airlock.
