Programmable Logic Gates Based On Tunable Multistable Mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Ilan Vardi, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Binary logic operations are the building blocks of computing machines. In this paper, we present a new programmable binary logic gate based on programmable multistable mechanisms (PMM), which are multistable structures whose stability behavior depends on m ...

Reconfigurable Logic Gates Based on Programable Multistable Mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Ilan Vardi, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Binary logic gates are building blocks of computing machines, in particular, electronic computers. One variant is the programable logic gate, also known as the reconfigurable logic gate, in which the logical function implemented can be modified. In this pa ...

Tuning stiffness nonlinearty: theory and applications

Simon Nessim Henein, Ilan Vardi, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Perfect elasticity is not achievable in real-life situation, so spring stiffness is not perfectly constant. In this paper, we study the effect of modifying non-linear stiffness terms while keeping the nominal stiffness constant. We introduce three methods ...

Device for measuring a force exerted on an object

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

The present invention relates to a device for measuring a contact force exerted by an object on a probe comprising a lever and said probe for contacting the object. The lever is pivotably coupled to a body by coupling means. The device comprising a fixed f ...

Programmable Multistable Mechanisms for Safe Surgical Puncturing

Simon Nessim Henein, Charles Baur, Andrea Lovera, Ilan Vardi, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty, David Lambelet, Thomas Jean Julien Fussinger, Arno Rogg

We present novel medical devices for safe surgical puncturing, in particular a cannula for the treatment of retinal vein occlusion (RVO). This passive mechanical device has an adjustable stroke and exerts a puncturing force independent of operator applied ...

Programmable Constant-Force Multistable Mechanisms

Simon Nessim Henein, Mohamed Gamal Abdelrahman Ahmed Zanaty

Programmable multistable mechanisms exhibit stability behavior whereby the stiffness and the number of stable states can be controlled via programming inputs. In this paper, we report the zero stiffness behavior of a 2-degree of programming (DOP) T-combine ...
