In modern automated assembly lines, part feeders play an important role to separate and sort parts. Agility and flexibility are required to achieve a good yield for different types of parts. The common working principle is to vibrate a working plate driven ...
Resonators for time and frequency reference applications are essential elements found in most electronic devices surrounding us. The continuous minimization and ubiquitous distribution of such electronic devices and circuits demands for resonators of small ...
Mechanically coupled resonators have been applied in the last years to the development of nanomechanical mass-sensors based on the detection of the different vibration modes of the system by measuring on a single resonator. Their sensitivity and capability ...
An ideal photonic integrated circuit for nonlinear photonic applications requires high optical nonlinearities and low loss. This work demonstrates a heterogeneous platform by bonding lithium niobate (LN) thin films onto a silicon nitride (Si3N4) waveguide ...
Similarly to mechanical structures, stable flows can exhibit resonance when perturbed by an impulsive or harmonic forcing. Swirling wakes and sloshing waves belong to this kind of flows and manifest large energy response when excited close to their natural ...
Automatic assembly system has been continuously drawing attention since the beginning of the 20th century. Parts feeding system is one of the important subsystems. The parts feeding system is used for delivering bulk parts into separated individual parts. ...
Functional brain networks reconfigure spontaneously during rest. Such network dynamics can be studied by dynamic functional connectivity (dynFC); i.e., sliding-window correlations between regional brain activity. Key parameters-such as window length and cu ...
We present a novel and highly efficient temporal pulse shaping technique for the generation of flattop-like picosecond pulses in the deep UV. Using standard sum frequency generation (SFG) of a Ti:sapphire laser but with a pair of properly chirped beams pri ...
In this paper we present a new architecture for PLL-based high-speed demodulation of frequency-modulated AFM signals. In our approach, we use single-sideband frequency up-conversion to translate the AFM signal from the position sensitive detector to a fixe ...
A passive electro-mechanical device that reduces phase noise in oscillators, thereby improving their frequency precision. The noise reduction device can consist of a pair of coupled nonlinear resonators that are driven parametrically-by modulating their na ...
