Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

On the Possibility of Cross-Flow Vortex Cancellation by Plasma Actuators
Cancellation of the cross-flow vortices in a swept-wing boundary layer is attempted by plasma actuator array in numerical simulation. The response of the boundary layer to the stationary excitation by a single actuator section is measured experimentally ...

Soft Mechanical‐Electrical Logic Using Liquid Metal‐Filled 3D‐Printed Architectures
We present 3D‐printed soft mechanical–electrical logic elements that use liquid metal–filled silicone tubes actuated by thermoplastic polyurethane/polylactic acid (TPU/PLA) architectures to produce Boolean operations. Complementary normally open and normally closed unit cells perform repeatable binary transitions and can be combined into more complex ...

Linear actuator for a submersible water pump for use in boreholes [PDF]
Both the theory and the test results show that the E-core electromagnet linear actuator, which is based on the variable reluctance principle, can generate a normal force in excess of 400kNm(^-2) when there is a flux density of IT within the airgap.

Cathodic Cage Plasma Deposition of Nanostructured Cu–Fe–Se Coatings on Poly(methyl Methacrylate)
Nanostructured Cu–Fe–Se coatings are deposited on PMMA by a modified cathodic cage plasma process, enabling low‐temperature deposition on polymer substrates. A transition from discontinuous to compact morphology is observed with temperature, with optimal properties at 200°C, where improved CuFeSe2‐type bonding, lowest sheet resistance, and favorable ...
