Four electron cyclotron heating upper launchers (ECHULs) will be used at ITER to counteract magnetohydrodynamic plasma instabilities by targeting them with up to 24 MW of mm-wave power at 170 GHz. This mm-wave power is injected through eight ex-vessel (EV) ...
The Center for Artificial Muscle (CAM) is in the process of designing a new type of Vascular Assist Device (VAD) that uses the mechanical and electrical properties of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators (DEAs). The main challenges with these actuators are that ...
This paper presents the design, fabrication, and operation of compound micromachines powered by acoustic streaming. The machine components were directly incorporated around pillars serving as shafts without further assembly steps using a single-step in sit ...
Conventional input/output (IO) links consume power, independent of changes
in the bandwidth demand by the system they are deployed in. As the system is
designed to satisfy the peak bandwidth demand, most of the time the IO links
are idle but still consumin ...
Nowadays, there is a very high number of electronic devices with different ranges of power. Desktop peripherals and cellphones are an example of widely used low power devices. Contactless power transfer is useful to supply or recharge these devices without ...
This paper presents the design, fabrication, and operation of compound micromachines powered by acoustic streaming. The machine components were directly incorporated around pillars serving as shafts without further assembly steps using a single-step in sit ...
This paper is intended to present an advanced technique to be used in solid-state power and energy meters, more specifically through the employment of the Hall effect sensors. From a qualitative point of view, an investigation into the sensing device is pe ...
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's and epilepsy requires monitoring a subject's development of symptoms through electroencephalography (EEG) signals over long periods. Wearable devices enable convenient monitoring of biosignals, unlike complex and costly hospi ...
This paper presents the development of a compact energy harvesting configuration to convert low frequency, mechanical oscillations into usable electrical energy using AFM-like MEMS piezoelectric cantilevers coupled to a rotating gear. In this approach, one ...
The first practical, portable “dynamometer”, designed in 1798 by Regnier, was used to quantify the muscular strength of men and animals. It was promptly used by ethnologists to test the strength of the “savages”. A smaller improved model (Collin dynamomete ...
