Accurate Center of Gravity Compensation for Improved Translational Control Performance of Two-Wheeled Robot With Arm

open access: yesIEEE Access
Owing to their high center of gravity (CoG) and small footprint, two-wheeled robots (TWRs) are expected to be used in collaborative tasks with humans.

Elastomeric Micro‐Balloons for Remote Control of Cerebral Blood Flow and Real‐Time In vivo Imaging of Rodent Brain Response to Hypoperfusion

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports the fabrication of MRI‐compatible elastomeric micro‐balloons via a multi‐step bubble casting process, where the monolithic elastomeric wall is selectively stiffened for reversible and controlled inflation and elasticity, depending on the target vessels for graded occlusion of cerebral arteries.

Effects of Impedance Reduction of a Robot for Wrist Rehabilitation on Human Motor Strategies in Healthy Subjects during Pointing Tasks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Studies on human motor control demonstrated the existence of simplifying strategies (namely `Donders' law') adopted to deal with kinematically redundant motor tasks.

Assessment of errors in the transmission of the orientation and cartographic system from the surface to an underground mine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
An accurate transmission of the orientation between surface and underground workings, by means of vertical shafts, is a major challenge in the mining industry, especially for deep mines.

Autocalibrated Gravity Compensation for 3DoF Impedance Haptic Devices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The apparent mass of haptic device end-effector depends on its position inside the workspace. This paper presents a recursive algorithm to detect effective direction of gravity force, and to automatically estimate the apparent mass of the end-effector when placed at the vertices of a cubic grid contained into the device workspace.

A Nano‐Interception Strategy for Chronic Heart Failure: Prussian Blue Nanoparticles Disrupt Fibroblast‐Immune Communication via CCL2 Sequestration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A nano‐interception strategy disrupts pathogenic fibroblast–macrophage crosstalk in chronic heart failure. Scalable Prussian blue nanoparticles selectively sequester CCL2 via ultrahigh‐affinity binding, preventing CCR2+ macrophage recruitment and breaking a key fibro‐inflammatory circuit. This approach demonstrates robust efficacy in murine and porcine

Effective inertial frame in an atom interferometric test of the equivalence principle

open access: yes, 2017
In an ideal test of the equivalence principle, the test masses fall in a common inertial frame. A real experiment is affected by gravity gradients, which introduce systematic errors by coupling to initial kinematic differences between the test masses. We

Spherical Collapse and the Halo Model in Braneworld Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We present a detailed study of the collapse of a spherical perturbation in DGP braneworld gravity for the purpose of modeling simulation results for the halo mass function, bias and matter power spectrum.

Topological Point Defects in SmC* Liquid Crystals Under Mechanical Disturbance

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Tangetial air jet shear inducess island formation and nucleates topological point defects in uniform SmC films. Island bounded by edge dislocation loops shrink and transform into isolated point defects under continued shear. Mechanical perturbatio provides a controllable route for defect engineering in smectric liquid crystal thin films.
