Robust nonlinear estimation and control of clutch-to-clutch shifts

2016 American Control Conference (ACC), 2016
Shift quality is an integral component of driveability. Thus, it is of paramount importance that control methods be developed for ensuring good shift quality. Increasingly, automatic transmissions employ a combination of two actively controlled clutches to implement shifts, which makes the gearshifts clutch-to-clutch shifts.

The Effects of Viewing Cute Pictures on Performance During a Basketball Free-Throw Task

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Previous studies have shown that viewing cute pictures leads to performance improvement in a subsequent fine motor task. We examined the beneficial effects of viewing cute pictures in a more complex sporting skill (i.e., basketball free throws) by ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Weak and Tunable Adhesion–Clutch Drives Rapid Cell Migration and Glioblastoma Invasion

Advanced Science
To move forward, cells must exert backward forces against their surrounding environment. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of integrin‐independent forces for cell migration; however, the molecular machinery that exerts forces remains unclear.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Development of an ultrasonic clutch

IEEE Symposium on Ultrasonics, 2003, 2003
In the present paper, a newly developed ultrasonic clutch is proposed. The ultrasonic clutch can solve problems of conventional passive elements, such as time delay, instability, and large size, by using unique characteristics of ultrasonic motor, as fast response, silent motion, and non-magnetic feature.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
