Deformation of a soft helical filament in an axial flow at low Reynolds number

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

We perform a numerical investigation of the deformation of a rotating helical filament subjected to an axial flow, under low Reynolds number conditions, motivated by the propulsion of bacteria using helical flagella. Given its slenderness, the helical rod ...

The goal of this paper is to investigate the fluid flow analysis in a novel multilayered finned reciprocating compressor, adopting a so-called “pneumatic-Electric” analogy using a lumped methodology. This machine includes two sets of concentric annular fin ...

Functional and Structural Responses of Hyporheic Biofilms to Varying Sources of Dissolved Organic Matter

Tom Ian Battin

Headwater streams are tightly connected with the terrestrial milieu from where they receive deliveries of organic matter often through the hyporheic zone, the transition between groundwater and streamwater. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) from terrestrial s ...

Structured Sparse Coding for Image Denoising or Pattern Detection

Pascal Frossard, Sofia Karygianni

Sparsity has been one of the major drives in signal processing in the last decade. Structured sparsity has also lately emerged as a way to enrich signal priors towards more meaningful and accurate representations. In this paper we propose a new structured ...

Phase-Shift Master-Slave Mechanisms for High Angular-Speed Wedge-Prism Systems

Reymond Clavel, Olivier Chappuis

Laser micro-machining requires high dynamic laser spot trajectory and accuracy to control the laser beam scanning. A well-known technique to scan a laser beam over a specimen is to use a pair of wedge-prisms. However, it is difficult to master-slave the ph ...

A dual-axis pointing mirror with moving-magnet actuation

Nico de Rooij, Caglar Ataman, Wilfried Noell, Sébastien Lani

A large-aperture and large-angle MEMS-based 2D pointing mirror is presented. The device is electromagnetically actuated by a moving-magnet/stationary-coil pair and potentially suited for high power laser beam shaping and beam pointing applications, such as ...

Decoding the mechanisms of gait generation in salamanders by combining neurobiology, modeling and robotics

Auke Ijspeert, Andrej Bicanski

Vertebrate animals exhibit impressive locomotor skills. These locomotor skills are due to the complex interactions between the environment, the musculo-skeletal system and the central nervous system, in particular the spinal locomotor circuits. We are inte ...

Exploiting passive dynamics for robot throwing task

Robin Thandiackal, Amir Jafari

Throwing is a complex and highly dynamic task. Humans usually exploit passive dynamics of their limbs to optimize their movement and muscle activation. In order to approach human throwing, we developed a double pendulum robotic platform. To introduce passi ...

Electromechanically induced absorption in a circuit nano-electromechanical system

Tobias Kippenberg, Xiaoqing Zhou, Albert Schliesser

A detailed analysis of electromechanically induced absorption (EMIA) in a circuit nano-electromechanical hybrid system consisting of a superconducting microwave resonator coupled to a nanomechanical beam is presented. By performing two-tone spectroscopy ex ...
