Causal semantics for the algebra of connectors

The Algebra of Connectors AC(P) is used to model structured interactions in the BIP component framework. Its terms are connectors, relations describing synchronization constraints between the ports of component-based systems. Connectors are structured comb ...

Hybrid Core-Shell Nanowire Forests as Self-Selective Chemical Connectors

Bryan Edward Schubert

Conventional connectors utilize mechanical, magnetic, or electrostatic interactions to enable highly specific and reversible binding of the components (i.e., mates) for a wide range of applications. As the connectors are miniaturized to small scales, a num ...

A single nanotrench in a palladium microwire for hydrogen detection

Jürgen Brugger, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Oscar Vazquez Mena, Thomas Kiefer

The hydrogen sensing characteristics of a single nanotrench fabricated by focused ion beam milling (FIB) in an evaporated palladium microwire are presented. In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements proved that, in the presence of H2, the trench c ...

Laser soldering of piezoelectric actuator with minimal thermal impact

Jacques Jacot, Thomas Maeder, Yannick Sébastien Fournier, Frank Seigneur

Mechanical and electrical connecting of piezoelectric actuator is often done using conductive glue. Its advantage is not to heat the piezoelectric actuator during connection. But there are many disadvantages to gluing; the main one is curing time. Welding ...

Cooperation through self-assembly in multi-robot

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

This article illustrates the methods and results of two sets of experiments in which a group of mobile robots, called s-bots, are required to physically connect to each other, that is, to self-assemble, to cope with environmental conditions that prevent th ...

SWARM-BOT: A Swarm of Autonomous Mobile Robots with Self-Assembling Capabilities

Dario Floreano, Francesco Mondada, André Guignard, Mirco Dorigo, Luca Maria Gambardella

We present a new robotic concept, called SWARM-BOT, based on a swarm of small and simple autonomous mobile robots called S-BOTs. S-BOTs have a particular assembling capability that allows them to connect physically to other S-BOTs and form a bigger robot e ...

Polyimide-based microfluidic devices

Philippe Renaud, Stefan Metz, Raphael Holzer

This paper describes the development of polyimide-based microfluidic devices. A layer transfer and lamination technique is used to fabricate flexible microfluidic channels in various shapes and with a wide range of dimensions. High bond strengths can be ac ...

Waveguide photonic crystals and microstructures

Romuald Houdré, Marc Ilegems, Ursula Oesterle, Henri Benisty

Regular periodic structures with large refractive index contrast are often called photonic crystals and may exhibit photonic bandgap behaviour. Planar waveguide 2D and 1D periodic microstructures exhibiting photonic bandgap behaviour are likely to be usefu ...
