Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.The study considers the use of polymer/dielectric‐based multilayers piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (EH) to produce an output voltage and current, by exploiting the mechanical energy provided by human organs movements. In particular, the heart motion is considered from the kinematic viewpoint, and a multiphysics theoretical model is developed to assess

Engineering Proceedings, 2023 In this work, we present the design of an observer for Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems with unmeasurable premise variables. Moving away from Lipschitz-based and L2 attenuation-based methods—which fall short in eliminating the mismatching terms in the ...

The First Mean Value Theorem for Integrals [PDF]
Formalized Mathematics, 2008 For simplicity, we use the following convention: X is a non empty set, S is a σ-field of subsets of X, M is a σ-measure on S, f , g are partial functions from X to R, and E is an element of S. One can prove the following three propositions: (1) If for every element x of X such that x ∈ dom f holds f(x) ≤ g(x), then g − f is non-negative.

Probing Near‐Field EM Fluctuations in Superparamagnetic CoFeB With NV Quantum Dephasometry
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.We non‐invasively investigate the superparamagnetic spin dynamics of a 1.1 nm CoFeB layer by probing its near‐field EM fluctuations using NV centers‐based quantum dephasometry. Our findings are further supported by theoretical modeling and SQUID‐based magnetization characterization. These results provide critical insight into the magnetization dynamics

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

On a functional equation related to a generalization of Flett's mean value theorem
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2000 In this paper, we characterize all the functions that attain their Flett mean value at a particular point between the endpoints of the interval under consideration. These functions turn out to be cubic polynomials and thus, we also characterize these.

A Hybrid Mean Value Involving Dedekind Sums and the Generalized Kloosterman Sums
Journal of Mathematics, 2021 In this paper, we use the mean value theorem of Dirichlet L-functions and the properties of Gauss sums and Dedekind sums to study the hybrid mean value problem involving Dedekind sums and the general Kloosterman sums and give an interesting identity for ...

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.
