A novel low-profile shape memory alloy torsional actuator

Jamie Paik

This paper presents low-profile torsional actuators applicable for mesoscale and microscale robots. The primary actuator material is thermally activated Ni-Ti shape memory alloy (SMA), which exhibits remarkably high torque density. Despite the advantages o ...

Satisfiability of Elastic Demand in the Smart Grid

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Dan-Cristian Tomozei

We study a stochastic model of electricity production and consumption where appliances are adaptive and adjust their consumption to the available production, by delaying their demand and possibly using batteries. The model incorporates production volatilit ...

Micromachined Dielectric Elastomer Actuators with Ion Implanted Electrodes

Herbert Shea, Samuel Rosset, Muhamed Niklaus

We summarize recent results on micromachined dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA), or artificial muscles, whose compliant electrodes are made by low energy ion-implantation into an elastomer. Out-of-plane displacements in buckling mode of over 25% of the d ...

The dynamical response properties of neocortical neurons to temporally modulated noisy inputs in vitro

Michele Giugliano

Cortical neurons are often classified by current-frequency relationship. Such a static description is inadequate to interpret neuronal responses to time-varying stimuli. Theoretical studies suggested that single-cell dynamical response properties are neces ...

Novel Oxygen Selective Complexes for Optical Oxygen Sensing

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

Novel optical sensing films for oxygen based on highly luminescent iridium (III) and ruthenium (II) complexes have been developed. These demonstrate excellent long-term photostability (several months) when incorporated into polystyrene membranes. The influ ...

High speed dynamics of photonic crystal nanocavity laser

Hatice Altug

We demonstrated high-speed photonic crystal nanocavity lasers with response time as short as similar to 2ps and direct modulation speeds exceeding 100GHz. Such high-speed characteristics are enabled by the use of cavity quantum electrodynamics effects such ...

SARFOS - Search And Rescue Forward Operation Support System

Mountain search and rescue in the Alps of Austria and Switzerland is a prominent and challenging example of emergency response tasks. Significant numbers of search and rescue operations are carried out every year. In Switzerland, the "Alpine Rettung" in 20 ...

Dynamical plasma response during driven magnetic reconnection

Ambrogio Fasoli

Direct measurements of a collisionless current channel during driven magnetic reconnection are obtained for the first time on the Versatile Toroidal Facility. The size of the diffusion region is found to scale with the electron drift orbit width, independe ...

Linear Induction Motor Demo-Track : a Tool for Renewed Motivation in Electrical Engineering

Alfred Rufer, Martin Veenstra

Technical education in classical fields like electrical engineering is confronted in western countries with on one side a high demand for engineers coming from industry and on the other side by the reduced interest from younger generation, whose interest i ...

A Delay Bound for a Network with Aggregate Scheduling

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Félix Farkas

Given the increasing demand for services that can guarantee a maximum end-to-end delay in the Internet, it is important to understand the behaviour of different existing networks. We consider networks that implement scheduling per aggregate flow. We give a ...
