Modelling and Sensors for Magnetically-Levitated Disc Drives

The development of new industrial applications has diverted the focus of research towards compacter and faster rotatory drives. These requirements push the classical ball-bearings of electric motors to the limits in terms of operational lifetime and fricti ...

Efficiency Optimisation of Slotless Magnetic Bearing Machines

Yves Perriard, Douglas Martins Araujo, Leopoldo Rossini, Guzmán Borque Gallego

Efficiency is one of the key performance indexes in the design of electric motors. When considering fully active magnetic bearing machines, this aspect gain further relevance due to the necessity of actively controlling all the remaining degrees of freedom ...

Partial Discharge Localization Using Time Reversal: Application to Power Transformers

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Hamidreza Karami

In this work, we present a novel technique to locate partial discharge (PD) sources based on the concept of time reversal. The localization of the PD sources is of interest for numerous applications, including the monitoring of power transformers, Gas Insu ...

Design of Compact Bearingless Disc Drive Systems

Yves Perriard, Douglas Martins Araujo, Juan Patricio Tomás Peralta Fierro

Inflating costs and emerging applications are spawning interests toward smaller and faster electric drives. The challenges of miniaturization make magnetic bearings more appealing, as they provide intrinsic high-speed capability and need virtually zero-mai ...

Programmable Fluidic Networks Design for Robotic Origami Sequential Self-Folding

Jamie Paik, Mustafa Mete, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Julien Fiorentino

Self-folding enables compact, deployable and reconfigurable structures for close and far remote applications. As the degree-of-freedom in achieving folded shapes is dictated by the number of actuators, distributed on a quasi-2-D lattice, their design remai ...

A low-cost, autonomous mobile platform for limnological investigations, supported by high-resolution mesoscale airborne imagery

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Htet Kyi Wynn, Anton Ivanov, Beat Marcel Geissmann, Abolfazl Irani Rahaghi, Stepan Tulyakov, Philippe Olivier Paccaud, Ludovic Zulliger, Nawaaz Sidharth Gujja Shaik

Two complementary measurement systems – built upon an autonomous floating craft and a tethered balloon – for lake research and monitoring are presented. The autonomous vehicle was assembled on a catamaran for stability, and is capable of handling a variety ...

Design of Low-Profile Compliant Transmission Mechanisms

Jamie Paik, Zhenishbek Zhakypov, Frédéric Henri Vaskin Giraud

Robotic origami design allows creating meso-scale robotic systems and mechanisms not limited by degrees of freedom, miniaturization and assembly downsides of conventional transmission mechanisms. However, unlike the traditional rigid approaches, robotic or ...

Acoustic emission source detection and wave generation on a working plate using piezoelectric actuators

Xinchang Liu

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 ...

ChoiceRank: Identifying Preferences from Node Traffic in Networks

Matthias Grossglauser, Lucas Maystre

Understanding how users navigate in a network is of high interest in many applications. We consider a setting where only aggregate node-level traffic is observed and tackle the task of learning edge transition probabilities. We cast it as a preference lear ...

Spatial properties of non-retinotopic reference frames in human vision

Michael Herzog

Many visual attributes of a target stimulus are computed according to dynamic, non-retinotopic reference frames. For example, the motion trajectory of a reflector on a bicycle wheel is perceived as orbital, even though it is in fact cycloidal in retinal, a ...
