A Miniature Multimodal Actuator for Effective Tactile Feedback: Design and Characterization

Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li

We designed a miniature multimodal actuator by combining servomotors and vibrators. The actuator is mainly designed to non-invasively deliver tactile information to human skin by high-frequency vibration and low-frequency pressures simultaneously. By utili ...

Phase-Shift Master-Slave Mechanisms for High Angular-Speed Wedge-Prism Systems

Reymond Clavel, Olivier Chappuis

Laser micro-machining requires high dynamic laser spot trajectory and accuracy to control the laser beam scanning. A well-known technique to scan a laser beam over a specimen is to use a pair of wedge-prisms. However, it is difficult to master-slave the ph ...

A dual-axis pointing mirror with moving-magnet actuation

Nico de Rooij, Wilfried Noell, Caglar Ataman, Sébastien Lani

A large-aperture and large-angle MEMS-based 2D pointing mirror is presented. The device is electromagnetically actuated by a moving-magnet/stationary-coil pair and potentially suited for high power laser beam shaping and beam pointing applications, such as ...

Electromechanically induced absorption in a circuit nano-electromechanical system

Tobias Kippenberg, Xiaoqing Zhou, Albert Schliesser

A detailed analysis of electromechanically induced absorption (EMIA) in a circuit nano-electromechanical hybrid system consisting of a superconducting microwave resonator coupled to a nanomechanical beam is presented. By performing two-tone spectroscopy ex ...

Exploiting passive dynamics for robot throwing task

Robin Thandiackal, Amir Jafari

Throwing is a complex and highly dynamic task. Humans usually exploit passive dynamics of their limbs to optimize their movement and muscle activation. In order to approach human throwing, we developed a double pendulum robotic platform. To introduce passi ...

Circadian Dbp Transcription Relies on Highly Dynamic BMAL1-CLOCK Interaction with E Boxes and Requires the Proteasome

Felix Naef, David Michael Suter

The transcription factors BMAL1 and CLOCK drive the circadian transcription of clock and clock-controlled genes, such as Dbp. To investigate the kinetics of BMAL1 binding to target genes in real time, we generated a cell line harboring tandem arrays of Dbp ...

Constrained spectrum control using MPC

Colin Neil Jones, Jean-Hubert Hours

Well-known model predictive control (MPC) theory for constrained linear time-invariant (LTI) systems is extended to accommodate hard constraints and cost penalizations on the spectra of the system’s output trajectories. Thus the proposed method facilitates ...
