Adaptive Vibration Suppression System: An Iterative Control Law for a Piezoelectric Actuator Shunted by a Negative Capacitor

Tomas Sluka, Pavel Mokry

An adaptive system for the suppression of vibration transmission using a single piezoelectric actuator shunted by a negative capacitance circuit is presented. It is known that by using a negative-capacitance shunt, the spring constant of a piezoelectric ac ...

Current-Mode Analog Adaptive Mechanism for Ultralow-Power Neural Networks

Rafal Tomasz Dlugosz

Neural networks (NNs) implemented at the transistor level are powerful adaptive systems. They can perform hundreds of operations in parallel but at the expense of a large number of building blocks. In the case of analog realization, an extremely low chip a ...

Force feedback keyboard: self sensing

Yves Chevallier

Within the framework of a project consisting in developing a haptic keyboard, each key is aimed to be controlled individually in position and force. Small sized actuators has already been designed and integrated in a 64 keys force feedback keyboard. The pr ...

Use of Vertically-Aligned Carbon Nanotube Array to Enhance the Performance of Electrochemical Capacitors

Mélanie Guittet

In the domain of energy storage, electrochemical capacitors have numerous applications ranging from hybrid vehicles to consumer electronics, with very high power density at the cost of relatively low energy storage. Here, we report an approach that uses ve ...

A theory of sound transmission through a clamped curved piezoelectric membrane connected to a negative capacitor

Hervé Lissek, Tomas Sluka, Pavel Mokry

An analytical calculation of the acoustic transmission loss of sound propagating through a thin cylindrically curved piezoelectric membrane, which is rigidly clamped at its straight ends, is presented. The membrane is placed inside an acoustic tube and con ...

Comparison of Control Strategies for Maximizing Energy in a Supercapacitor Storage Subsystem

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade

A storage supercapacitor subsystem is studied for insertion in a series hybrid electric vehicle (Fig. 1). This subsystem is composed of a supercapacitor bank and a braking resistor used when the supercapacitor voltage is at its maximum value. Generally, wh ...

Evidence for forward domain growth being rate-limiting step in polarization switching in < 111 >-oriented-Pb(Zr0.45Ti0.55)O-3 thin-film capacitors

Nava Setter

We studied polarization switching of 295 nm thick -oriented-Pb(Zr0.45Ti0.55)O-3 (PZT) thin-film capacitors through a polarization hysteresis loop and piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) on top of the Pt electrode. Positive voltage pulses of 450 kV/cm ...

Considerations on the energy efficiency of a supercapacitive tank

Alfred Rufer, Philippe Barrade

Supercapacitors are electrochemical double layer capacitors, dedicated for the energ storage. Even if the energy density is still lower than that one of batteries, the supercapacitors are defined with a higher power density. The main advantage of that prop ...
