Abstract: An electrospinning device is provided with a container for holding a liquid comprising a polymer melt or a polymer solution, and a nozzle arranged to outlet a stream of the liquid from the container. A collector collects electro spun material during electrospinning so as to form a fibrous structure. The device comprises an optical measurement system that measures a baseline distance between the collector and the optical measurement system for at least one location on a surface of the collector, and also measures a momentary distance between the optical measurement system and a momentary top layer of the fibrous structure during the electrospinning process. A processor calculates a momentary thickness of the fibrous structure. Once a required thickness is reached the electrospinning can be stopped.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for interfacing multiple layers of optimization for a model of one or more processes in a processing environment to achieve increased or maximized stability in the underlying layer. To improve consistency between the solutions at the different model levels, the lower level of optimization can have extra constraints added to the optimization problem which target variables at their unconstrained values in the upper layer of optimization. The systems and methods can facilitate selection of variables to receive an external target such that stability of the solution is improved or maximized. This can be achieved, at least in part, by identifying variables that provide a reduced or minimized condition number for a sub-matrix in the lower level model when an additional external constraint is applied.
