A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Advances in Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Intelligent Robotics and Electronics

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) integrate molecular anisotropy with electrical functionality to enable programmable actuation and reconfigurable electronics. This review classifies eLCEs into robotic actuators and adaptive electronics, summarizes key actuation mechanisms, and highlights fabrication strategies that bridge materials to ...

Synchronization Analysis of Networks of Self-Sampled All-Digital Phase-Locked Loops [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers, 2012
This paper analyses the stability of the synchronized state in Cartesian networks of identical all-digital phase-locked loops (ADPLLs) for clock distribution applications. Such networks consist in Cartesian grids of digitally-controlled oscillator nodes, where each node communicates only with its nearest neighbors.

Astrocytic Phenotypic Switching in Posterior Piriform Cortex Orchestrates Bone Cancer Pain–Depression Comorbidity via Purinergic–Noradrenergic Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bone cancer pain and depression share a common origin: astrocytic A2‐to‐A1 transition in the posterior piriform cortex. This phenotypic shift disrupts the ATP–adenosine–A2AR–norepinephrine axis, simultaneously driving nociceptive and affective dysfunction.

A design approach for networks of Self-Sampled All-Digital Phase-Locked Loops [PDF]

2011 20th European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design (ECCTD), 2011
This paper addresses the problem of the stability and the performance analysis of N-nodes cartesian networks of self-sampled all digital phase-locked loops. It can be demonstrated that under certain conditions (such as proper filter coefficient values), a global and a local synchronization can be obtained.
