3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

The Regulatory Role of Iron Transporter SLC39A13 in Liver Fibrosis
SLC39A13/ZIP13, a newly discovered intracellular iron transporter, delivers iron to the ER/Golgi to catalyze procollagen hydroxylation during collagen maturation. Here, we systematically characterize the cell type‐specific functions of ZIP13 across distinct hepatic cell populations, and identify hepatic stellate cell‐specific ZIP13 as a promising and ...

Fiber optic data bus using Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) and an asymmetric coupler [PDF]
A fiber optic data bus, using frequency division multiplexing (FDM) is discussed. The use of FDM is motivated by the need to avoid central control of the bus operation. A major difficulty of such a data bus is introduced by the couplers. An efficient low

Rotary Electromechanical System Integrating Non‐Reciprocal Memory and Combinational Logic
Rotational bistability, interfaced through a conductive network with switchable contacts, unifies logic operations and mechanical memory within a rotary electromechanical system. The author demonstrates how serially coupled configurations of rotationally bistable modules enable reprogrammable sequential logic governed by mechanical state transition and
