Strategic Adoption of 3D Printing in Multi-Product Supply Chains: Cost and Capacity Considerations
This paper explores the integration of Additive Manufacturing (or 3D printing) into decentralized supply chains, focusing on the strategic decisions manufacturers and retailers make when facing capacity constraints. Using a Stackelberg game framework, we analyze how AM impacts traditional wholesale pricing across two scenarios. First, a manufacturer producing two distinct products and second, a case involving multiple products, each affected by AM's capacity limitations. For the first scenario,…

On-axis afocal telescopes as framework for Cubesat based astronomical imagers and slit-less spectrographs
Cubesats present unique opportunities for observational astronomy in the modern era. They are useful in observing difficult-to-access wavelength regions and long-term monitoring of interesting astronomical sources. However, conventional telescope designs are not necessarily the best fit for restricted envelope of a Cubesat. Additionally, fine-pointing stability on these platforms is difficult due to the low mass of the spacecraft and special allocations within the optical design are needed to a…

Barium Calcium Zirconium Titanate Thin Film-Based Capacitive Thermoelectric Converter for Low-Grade Waste Heat
A capacitive thermoelectric device can harvest thermal energy and convert it to electrical energy by employing a temperature-dependent dielectric material whose permittivity sharply changes with temperature. Electricity can be generated by fluctuating the temperature of the capacitor. Currently, capacitive thermoelectric devices are not broadly used, which can be attributed to the low efficiency of the existing solutions, the lack of dielectric materials with suitable temperature non-linearity …
