Room Helps: Acoustic Localization With Finite Elements

Martin Vetterli, Ivan Dokmanic

Acoustic source localization often relies on the free-space/far-field model. Recent work exploiting spatio-temporal sparsity promises to go beyond these scenarios, however, it requires the knowledge of the transfer functions from each possible source locat ...

Development of a Hybrid MEMS BLDC Micromotor

Yves Perriard, Sebastiano Merzaghi

This paper addresses the design of a new hybrid microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) micromotor. It is a small three-phase axial flux brushless dc (BLDC) motor. The stator is developed following the almost-standard CMOS technology rules used for MEMS manu ...

Isogeometric discrete differential forms in three dimensions

Annalisa Buffa, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez

The concept of isogeometric analysis (IGA) was first applied to the approximation of Maxwell equations in [A. Buffa, G. Sangalli, and R. Vázquez, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg., 199 (2010), pp. 1143-1152]. The method is based on the construction of sui ...

Analyse et mise en oeuvre d'un moteur électromagnétique microfabriqué

Sebastiano Merzaghi

Until now, the preferred solution for MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) actuation is the electrostatic one. The main reason is that this kind of actuators can be easily manufactured following the microfabrication rules, as their geometry perfectly fi ...

Optimization of a new type of ultrasonic linear motor

Yves Perriard, José Fernandez Lopez

This paper presents the design, the properties, and the optimization study of a new type of ultrasonic linear motor. Numerical modeling has been carried out and simulations with software have been realized. To avoid performing a large number of simulations ...

Self-Sensing Methods from MEMs to Solar Aircraft Motors

Yves Perriard, Miroslav Markovic, Omar Scaglione

In order to control the speed and/or position of permanent magnet (PM) motors, they require position sensors. Basically, the auto-commutation needs 3 sensors for a 3-phase motor. In micro-motors, as there is no space for the sensors, self-sensing must be u ...
