The objective of this thesis is the development of high-field and high-current joints between Nb3Sn cables for superconducting coils. The main fields of application are high energy physics (HEP) and thermonuclear fusion. In this thesis, the focus is on Win ...
Stiffness control is critical in human manipulation. The ability to transition between a low stiffness state, allowing for compliant interactions with the environment, through to rigid states, where it is possible to exert high forces, enables much functio ...

We address online bandit learning of Nash equilibria in multi-agent convex games. We propose an algorithm whereby each agent uses only obtained values of her cost function at each joint played action, lacking any information of the functional form of her c ...
This paper presents design and characterization of a new type of structural joint which can vary its stiffness through actuation. Stiffness variation is employed to control the dynamic response of frame structures equipped with such joints. The joint is ma ...
Theoretical studies suggest and experimental evidence confirms that maintaining and changing human joint stiffness by coactivated antagonistic muscles are metabolically expensive, even if muscles do not perform net mechanical work. Based on this observatio ...
We propose a novel controller for powered prosthetic arms, where fused EMG and gaze data predict the desired end-point for a full arm prosthesis, which could drive the forward motion of individual joints. We recorded EMG, gaze, and motion-tracking during p ...

Introduction: The olecranon Chevron osteotomy (OCO) is commonly used to approach complex intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus. Predrilled tension band wiring (TBW) has historically been used to fix OCO. However, clinical outcomes are burdened by ...

Due to its limited regeneration capacity, articular cartilage defects are considered a frequent
clinical problem. Initial cartilage defects, if left untreated, will progress in severity over
time and can eventually lead to degenerative joint diseases such ...

Current surgical management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture still remains an intractable challenge in ACL regeneration due to the weak self-healing capability of ACL. Inadequate cell numbers and vascularization within the articular cavity contr ...

Early degenerative changes of articular cartilage are detected using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) with a cationic contrast agent (CA). However, cationic CA diffusion into degenerated cartilage decreases with proteoglycan depletion and increas ...
