We present a theoretical model to optimise the unidirectional motion of a rigid object bonded to a miniaturized dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), a configuration found for example in AMI’s haptic feedback devices, or in our tuneable RF phase shifter. Re ...
High-speed laser manipulation is a key technology in applications such as fast optical switches for coupling light into optical fibres, 2D beam steering for optical scanners, laser printers or 2D sensors. A novel design of a Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) ...

In the printing industry, one of the most common methods for reproducing halftone images using bilevel printing devices is clustered-dot ordered dithering. The images produced using this method are quite faithful to the original and are visually pleasing. ...
Gas Lubricated Herringbone Grooved Journal Bearings (HGJB) have long been used in equipment such as navigation systems, optical scanners for laser printers and high speed cameras and disk spindle for flyhead testers. All such applications are characterized ...
Character rasterization on middle-resolution output devices (screens, laser printers) is one of the most difficult tasks in the domain of resolution-independent raster imaging. Low sampling leads to unacceptable low-quality discrete character shapes. Bette ...
A novel laser soldering method for hermetic packaging of temperature sensitive devices such as organic electronics, micro- and nanostructures is presented in this work. The package combines a thermally optimized LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic) base ...
An electrically tuned nematic liquid crystal (LC) infiltrated photonic crystal (PC) laser was analyzed. LC tuning of the PC laser was demonstrated by recording the lasing wavelength as a function of the voltage applied across the LC cell. The PC laser betw ...
