Stiffness plays an important role in the precise performance of flexure-based ultra-precision
manipulation systems. The finite element method (FEM) is currently used to determine the …

We present design and optimization of a linear electromagnetic generator suitable to supply
power to body-worn sensor nodes. The design is based on an air-cored tubular architecture …

La poursuite permanente de la miniaturisation conduita des produits integrant un nombre
croissant de fonctions dans un volume toujours plus reduit. Les installations de production …

With the advancement in the knowledge of surgical procedures and cell micromanipulation,
there is a demand for a handheld instrument to perform micromanipulation. Hence, this …

Vorangegangene Forschungsarbeiten haben gezeigt, dass sich die in der Mikro-und
Ultrapräzisionsmontage geforderten Genauigkeiten nicht mit konventionellen Robotern …

We show that any weighted spatial smoothing (WSS) of subarray covariance matrices with
nonzero weights will lead to a decorrelation of signals, and we discuss the consequences of …

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) based actuators have increasingly been used in lightweight
and compact actuators. In this paper, a novel kirigami-inspired SMA actuator is designed …

This paper inquires into the exportability of the fatigue measurements made on standard test-
specimen to wire electro-discharge machined flexures with thin cross sections (50 …

Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Charakterisierung von stoffschlüssigen Gelenken zwecks
Implementierung in hochgenauen Mikromanipulatoren, die eine Wiederholgenauigkeit der …

This paper presents a high performance single arm robot configuration, based on a macro-
manipulator coupled with a micro-manipulator. The system is well suited to fast and precise …
