SUMMARY To improve the accessibility of robotics, we propose a design and fabrication strategy to build low-cost electromechanical systems for robotic devices. Our method, based on origami-inspired cut-and-fold and E-textiles techniques, aims at minimizing the resources for robot creation. Specifically, we explore techniques to create robots with the resources restricted to single-layer sheets (e.g., polyester film) and conductive sewing threads. To demonstrate our strategy’s feasibility, these techniques are successfully integrated into an electromechanical oscillator (about 0.40 USD), which can generate electrical oscillation under constant-current power and potentially be used as a simple robot controller in lieu of additional external electronics.

A paradigm for high buffering performance with an essential fulfillment for sensing and modulation was set forth. Through substituting the fundamental two rows of air holes in an elongated hexagonal photonic crystal (E-PhC) by one row of the triangular gaps, the EPCW is molded to form an irregular waveguide. By properly adjusting the triangle dimension solitary, we fulfilled the lowest favorable value of the physical-size of each stored bit by about μ5.5510 μm. Besides, the EPCW is highly sensitive to refractive index (RI) perturbation attributed to the medium through infiltrating the triangular gaps inside the EPCW by microfluid with high RI sensitivity of about 379.87 nm/RIU. Furthermore, dynamic modulation can be achieved by applying external voltage and high electro-optical (EO) sensitivity is obtained of about 748.407 nm/RIU. The higher sensitivity is attributable to strong optical confinement in the waveguide region and enhanced light-matter interaction in the region of the microfluid triangular gaps inside the EPCW and conventional gaps (air holes). The EPCW structure enhances the interaction between the light and the sensing medium.

AbstractThree methods for the measurement of the change ΔΦ of the work function Φ of a metal surface due to the presence of adsorbed particles (e. g. oxygen) have been developed utilizing the surface ionization of a beam of metal atoms (e. g. In, Sr) as a probe. The experiments have been performed with a mass spectrometer at ultrahigh vacuum.In the first method the temperature dependency of the ion emission current is used for the determination of the work function Φ considering certain limiting conditions. The two other methods which may be applied simultaneously with the first one, involve a direct measurement of ΔΦ by compensating the change of the contact potential by an external voltage: In the second method the contact potential between the ionizing surface and a surrounding reference electrode is used to control the ion optical conditions for the ion emission, whereas in the third method the change in the kinetic energy of the ions caused by a change of the contact potential between the ionizing surface and the entrance slit of the mass spectrometer is used as a measure of ΔΦ

AbstractThe recovery of the membrane profile of an electrostatic micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device is an important issue because, when applying an external voltage, the membrane deforms with the consequent risk of touching the upper plate of the device (a condition that should be avoided). Then, during the deformation of the membrane, it is useful to know if this movement admits stable equilibrium configurations. In such a context, our present work analyze the behavior of an electrostatic 1D membrane MEMS device when an external electric voltage is applied. In particular, starting from a well-known second-order elliptical semi-linear di erential model, obtained considering the electrostatic field inside the device proportional to the curvature of the membrane, the only possible equilibrium position is obtained, and its stability is analyzed. Moreover, considering that the membrane has an inertia in moving and taking into account that it must not touch the upper plate of the device, the range of possible values of the applied external voltage is obtained, which accounted for these two particular operating conditions. Finally, some calculations about the variation of potential energy have identified optimal control conditions.

Abstract The study aims to create a permanent magnetic generator voltage amplifier by using a AC-ac converter. To stabilize the external voltage, then used the buck-boost converter. The results showed that by regulating the voltage gain  Buck-Boost converter  at  27 volt voltage  as well as regulating the duty cycle between 1 khz to 5 khz,  can be  generated an external 220 volt through the inverter. The test results of the device can supply stably up to a load of 100 watts.    ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat penguat tegangan generator permanent magnet dengan menggunakan konverter ac-ac.

Medical students are being trapped in the void between basic sciences and clinical facts. Of greater concern is that the chasm is widening with the progressive decline of the basic sciences, which require years to master. Meanwhile we expect our doctors to disperse quickly and start righting the wrongs. Teaching laboratories are becoming more sophisticated in order for students to be able to intubate and put up CVP (central venous pressure) lines unsupervised. Cardiac murmurs are digitalised, recorded and replayed. Mitral valve prolapse is an electrical oscillation of red lights and not the whooping of a white dove. The experience is made as real as possible and becomes ever more surreal. Medicine becomes performance based and frozen. The patella hammer rests on top of the book.
