Review of Thermally Activated Twisted Coiled Polymer Actuators: A Materials Science Perspective

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermally activated twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) combine lightweight design, large deformation, and scalable fabrication for soft robotic and wearable applications. This review connects polymer structure, processing history, helix geometry, and thermomechanical characterization to actuator performance, highlighting current challenges in

An approved frequency tracking method in connected element interferometry

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Carrier tracking loop is a basic method of frequency tracking in CEI (connected element interferometry), but the tracking error is very large or even worse at high dynamic.

Surprising Water Slipping Performance on Highly Hydrophilic PEG‐Derived Monolayer‐Covered Surfaces: Preparation, Mechanism, and Application

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Highly hydrophilic surfaces (water contact angle, ≈17.7°) exhibiting surprising water slipping performance (sliding angle, ≈7.3°) are successfully prepared via simple chemisorption of polyethylene glycol (PEG) organosilane and subsequent alkali‐treatment.

Noise performance of frequency- and phase-locked CW magnetrons operated as current-controlled oscillators. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Low-power continuous wave ``cooker'' magnetrons driven from industrial-quality switch-mode power supplies have been frequency locked by driving them as current-controlled oscillators in a phase-lock loop (PLL).

Statistical analysis of first-order bang-bang phase-locked loops using sign-dependent random-walk theory

open access: yes, 2010
Bang-bang phase-locked loops (BBPLLs) are inherently nonlinear due to the hard nonlinearity introduced by the binary phase detector (BPD). This paper provides an exact statistical analysis of the steady-state timing jitter in a first order BBPLL when ...
