Active joints for microrobot limbs [PDF]
, 1992 The authors propose an electrostatic actuator for active joints. The active joint consists of two plates, one of which is a bilayer and bent by the bimorph effect. The plates are clamped to each other at one edge.

Active clamp dual-end convertor
Electronics Letters, 1998 An active clamp dual-end convertor is proposed to achieve zero voltage switching for all switches with low voltage stress and eliminate the DC current component in the transformer. A 40 W prototype is built and the experimental results are obtained for verification.

Nanoscale-targeted patch-clamp recordings of functional presynaptic ion channels [PDF]
, 2013 Important modulatory roles have been attributed to presynaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) located on cerebellar interneuron terminals. Evidence supporting a presynaptic location includes an increase in the frequency of mini events following the application ...

SMA Actuator with Active Clamp
Procedia Engineering, 2012 AbstractThe paper deals with modeling and simulation of the Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuator for mechatronic systems. The thermal actuator made of Nickel–Titanium (NiTi) wire and new active clamp are heated by electric resistance heating and naturally air-cooled. The paper addresses FEM electro thermal simulation of NiTi actuator with special shape of

Active asynchronous secondary side voltage clamping [PDF]
Electronics Letters, 2011 An asynchronous active voltage clamp for the secondary side of switching DC-DC converters is proposed. The control of the proposed clamping circuit is independent from the main converter, thus allowing use of a physically small inductor and offering increased control over the clamping operation.
