Charge generation by ultra-stretchable elastomeric electrets

Novel piezoelectric elastomers are synthesized and their long term stability and piezoelectric properties are investigated. They are thin film composites of specially designed polymer nanoparticles with high glass transition temperatures (T-g) and side gro ...

Investigation of Collective Behaviour and Electrocommunication in the Weakly Electric Fish, Mormyrus rume, through a biomimetic Robotic Dummy Fish

Stefano Mintchev, Elisa Donati

A robotic fish has been developed to create a mixed bio-hybrid system made up of weakly electric fish and a mobile dummy fish. Weakly electric fish are capable of interacting with each other via sequences of self-generated electric signals during electroco ...

Comb Drive Designs With Minimized Levitation

Matthias Imboden

This paper presents two capacitive comb drive designs for electrostatic actuation of MEMS with the aim to eliminate the levitation effect often observed in such systems. By placing a shield over the comb drive fingers, it is possible to balance the electri ...

Trapped-Electron Runaway Effect

Joan Decker

In a tokamak, trapped electrons subject to a strong electric field cannot run away immediately, because their parallel velocity does not increase over a bounce period. However, they do pinch toward the tokamak center. As they pinch toward the center, the t ...

Electro and pressure tunable cholesteric liquid crystal devices based on ion-implanted flexible substrates

Herbert Shea, Andreas Vasdekis, Muhamed Niklaus, Jae-Woo Choi, Luc Maffli, Luciano De Sio

We report an electro-responsive and pressure sensitive device based on conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) combined with a short pitch Cholesteric Liquid Crystal (CLC). Ion-implantation and surface chemistry in PDMS enable both the induction of conducti ...

Estimation of Relative Position and Coordination of Mobile Underwater Robotic Platforms through Electric Sensing

Auke Ijspeert, Yannick Morel, Mathieu Porez

In the context of underwater robotics, positioning and coordination of mobile agents can prove a challenging problem. To address this issue, we propose the use of electric sensing, with a technique inspired by weakly electric fishes. In particular, the app ...

Application of the time reversal of electromagnetic fields to locate lightning discharges

Marcos Rubinstein, Nicolas Mora Parra

In this paper, we propose a new method for locating lightning discharges. The proposed method is based on the time reversal technique introduced for acoustics in the early 1990s. By analogy to the derivations in acoustics, equations for the focusing of ele ...

Use of Qualitative Environmental and Phenotypic Variables in the Context of Allele Distribution Models: Detecting Signatures of Selection in the Genome of Lake Victoria Cichlids

Stéphane Joost, Michaël Kalbermatten

When searching for loci possibly under selection in the genome, an alternative to population genetics theoretical models is to establish allele distribution models (ADM) for each locus to directly correlate allelic frequencies and environmental variables s ...

Multi-physics model of an electric fish-like robot: numerical aspects and application to obstacle avoidance

Auke Ijspeert, Mathieu Porez

The paper deals with the modeling of a fishlike robot equipped with the electric sense, suited to study sensorimotor loops. The proposed multi-physics model merges a swimming dynamic model of a fish-like robot with an electric model of an embedded electrol ...
