Activism, Strategic Trading, and Liquidity

We analyze dynamic trading by an activist investor who can expend costly effort to affect firm value. We obtain the equilibrium in closed form for a general activism technology, including both binary and continuous outcomes. Variation in parameters can pro ...

Multi-modal Sensory Feedback System for Upper Limb Amputees

Christian Enz, Claudio Bruschini, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz

Providing sensory feedback for myoelectric prosthetic users can not only increase the manipulation ability but can also introduce a feeling of embodiment. Previous research has demonstrated the feasibility of providing mechanotactile or vibrotactile feedba ...

Effects of coating spherical iron oxide nanoparticles

Tao Li

We investigate the effect of several coatings applied in biomedical applications to iron oxide nanoparticles on the size, structure and composition of the particles. The four structural techniques employed - TEM, DLS, VSM, SAXS and EXAFS - show no signific ...

A Miniature Multimodal Actuator for Effective Tactile Feedback: Design and Characterization

Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li

We designed a miniature multimodal actuator by combining servomotors and vibrators. The actuator is mainly designed to non-invasively deliver tactile information to human skin by high-frequency vibration and low-frequency pressures simultaneously. By utili ...

EMG Pattern Recognition Using Decomposition Techniques for Constructing Multiclass Classifiers

Christian Enz, Claudio Bruschini, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz

To improve the dexterity of multi-functional myoelectric prosthetic hand, more accurate hand gesture recognition based on surface electromyographic (sEMG) signal is needed. This paper evaluates two types of time-domain EMG features, one independent feature ...

Experiment and Investigation of Two Types of Vibrotactile Devices

Christian Enz, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz

Tactile displays have a wide range of applications in assistive technology, prosthetics, and rehabilitation. Vibrotactile stimulation shows potential to be integrated into wearable devices because of its small size, low power consumption, and relative fast ...

Automatic Hand Phantom Map Detection Methods

Christian Enz, Claudio Bruschini, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz

Many amputees have maps of referred sensation from their missing hand on their residual limb (phantom maps). This skin area can serve as a target for providing amputees with tactile sensory feedback. Providing tactile feedback on the phantom map can improv ...

Data fusion for a hand prosthesis tactile feedback system

Christian Enz, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz, Ozan Unsal

Current myoelectrically controlled hand prostheses normally lack tactile feedback, thus limiting their functionalities and user acceptance. We propose a non-invasive tactile sensory feedback system, consisting miniaturized sensors, wireless communication m ...
