Thick Hydride Vapor Phase Heteroepitaxy: A Novel Approach to Growth of Nonlinear Optical Materials
At the time when many nonlinear optical (NLO) materials for frequency conversion of laser sources in the mid and long-wave infrared have achieved their fundamental or technological limits, we propose heteroepitaxy as a solution to develop novel NLO ...

Quectonewton Local Force Sensor
We report on the realization of a quantum sensor based on trapped atom interferometry in an optical lattice for the measurement of atom-surface interactions, with sub-micrometer-level control of the mean atom-surface separation distance. The force sensor reaches a short-term sensitivity of 3.4 x 10 --28 N at 1 s and a long-term stability of 4 qN (4 x ...

Force controlled robotic assembly without a force sensor [PDF]
The traditional way of controlling an industrial robot is to program it to follow desired trajectories. This approach is sufficient as long as the accuracy of the robot and the calibration of the workcell is good enough. In robotic assembly these conditions are usually not fulfilled, because of uncertainties, e.g., variability in involved parts and ...

Finding Explanations in AI Fusion of Electro-Optical/Passive Radio-Frequency Data
In the Information Age, the widespread usage of blackbox algorithms makes it difficult to understand how data is used. The practice of sensor fusion to achieve results is widespread, as there are many tools to further improve the robustness and ...

Ultra-high permittivity BaTiO3 (ε = 230) on Al2O3/AlGaN/GaN MISHEMTs for field-management in high-voltage RF applications [PDF]
We report ultra-high permittivity of RF sputtered BaTiO3 films on AlGaN/GaN Metal–Insulator–Semiconductor High-Electron Mobility Transistors (MISHEMTs) via high temperature sputtering and subsequent annealing in nitrogen.

Piezoresistive Tactile Sensor Discriminating Multidirectional Forces [PDF]
Flexible tactile sensors capable of detecting the magnitude and direction of the applied force together are of great interest for application in human-interactive robots, prosthetics, and bionic arms/feet. Human skin contains excellent tactile sensing elements, mechanoreceptors, which detect their assigned tactile stimuli and transduce them into ...

Design and Calibration of a Tri-Directional Contact Force Measurement System
In low pressure turbine stages, adjacent blades are coupled to each other at their tip by covers, called shrouds. Three-dimensional periodic contact forces at shrouds strongly affect the blade vibration level as energy is dissipated by friction.
