Commutation of a Magnetically Levitated Planar Actuator with Moving-Magnets

IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, 2008
This paper describes a novel commutation strategy for planar actuators with moving magnets and integrated magnetic bearing. The algorithm decouples the force and torque components directly and determines the current set-points of the coils by minimizing the ohmic losses.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...
