An Actuated Transfemoral Prosthesis with Optimized Polycentric Knee Joint

Serge Pfeifer

Powered transfemoral prostheses can give above-knee amputees more flexibility than passive devices, for example allowing them to ascend and descend stairs more easily, or allowing a more natural and symmetrical gait pattern. To achieve the high torques req ...

Analytical Determination of the Phase Inductances of a Brushless DC Motor With Faulhaber Winding

Yves Perriard, Patrick Ragot, Miroslav Markovic

This paper presents a method to analytically model the self and mutual phase inductances of a brushless dc motor with a Faulhaber winding. The method of images is used to “remove” the motor iron parts in the model in order to analyze the winding completely ...

A Perching Mechanism for Micro Aerial Vehicles

Dario Floreano, Roland Siegwart, Mirko Kovac, Jürg Markus Germann

Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) with perching capabilities can be used to efficiently place sensors in aloft locations. A major challenge for perching is to build a lightweight mechanism that can be easily mounted on a MAV, allowing it to perch (attach and de ...

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 ...

Modélisation analytique multiphysique pour la conception optimale de moteurs synchrones à aimants permanents

Patrick Ragot

During the last years, permanent magnets synchronous motors have become a reference in the industrial world, both from the economical and the technical point of view, because of their very good performance in both regards. Thus, application of specific met ...

Brushless DC motor optimization process - Choice between standard or straight tooth shape

Yves Perriard, Patrick Ragot, Miroslav Markovic

In order to create a new solar aircraft totally powered by the sun, a new method able to handle such a complex system must be developed. The project aim is to make a round-the-world flight in so as to promote the sustainable development. The aircraft power ...

2006

Initially, linear motors have been particularly dedicated to transportation systems. Nowadays, linear motors are meant to replace a system using a rotating motor and a transmission to realize a linear movement. With linear motors the performances increase ...
