Radiometer-deployment subsystem [PDF]
A radiometer-deployment subsystem for the Nimbus E spacecraft was designed, developed, and qualified for space use. The dimensions of the radiometer are 0.9 meter square by 0.1 meter, and its weighs 32 kilograms.

Force-Guiding Particle Chains for Shape-Shifting Displays
We present design and implementation of a chain of particles that can be programmed to fold the chain into a given curve. The particles guide an external force to fold, therefore the particles are simple and amenable for miniaturization.

Abstract Background Tactile‐induced analgesia (TIA) is a phenomenon in which different types of tactile stimulation alleviate pain via different mechanisms including empathy. As TIA plays an essential role in therapeutic situations and clinical conditions, it is crucial to determine whether specific tactile stimulations confer distinct benefits ...

The equivalent mathematical model of the double three‐phase main generator with a rectified load in an aviation starter/generator is established, and the law of the influence of the DC‐side filter capacitor and its parasitic parameters on the output performance of a salient‐pole synchronous generator is analysed by the agent‐aided optimisation method ...

The linear boom actuator designed for the Galileo spacecraft [PDF]
Because the linear boom actuator is to be used on a flight spacecraft, as opposed to a ground based application, there is a comprehensive set of requirements. First, of course, the actuator must be capable of positioning and holding the load.

In this paper, a variety of primary‐excited permanent magnet linear motors (PMLMs) are analysed and compared and a double‐sided flux‐concentrating slot permanent magnet linear motor (DFS‐PMLM) is proposed. The structural parameters of the proposed motor are optimised.

Harvesting energy from the door closing process provides a promising solution for powering wireless sensors in intelligent transport systems, however issues, such as low conversion efficiency and operational resistance hinder its practical application. In this study, an energy harvesting system (EHS) is proposed and its basic and optimized designs are ...

Mixed Lagrangian formulation for modeling structures with clutched inerter devices
Abstract Inerters (ID) and Clutched Inerter Devices (CID) are a novel technology with demonstrated seismic control potential. However, the inherent nonlinearity and discontinuity of the clutching phenomena in CIDs can pose significant challenges for their accurate numerical modeling.
