Differential Spiral Joint Mechanism for Coupled Variable Stiffness Actuation [PDF]
In this study, we present the Differential Spiral Joint (DSJ) mechanism for variable stiffness actuation in tendon-driven robots. The DSJ mechanism semi-decouples the modulation of position and mechanical stiffness, allowing independent trajectory tracking in different parameter space. Past studies show that increasing the mechanical stiffness achieves

Cactus Mechanisms: Optimal Differential Privacy Mechanisms in the Large-Composition Regime [PDF]
Most differential privacy mechanisms are applied (i.e., composed) numerous times on sensitive data. We study the design of optimal differential privacy mechanisms in the limit of a large number of compositions. As a consequence of the law of large numbers, in this regime the best privacy mechanism is the one that minimizes the Kullback-Leibler ...

Local Priority Mechanisms [PDF]
We introduce a novel family of mechanisms for constrained allocation problems which we call local priority mechanisms. These mechanisms are parameterized by a function which assigns a set of agents, the local compromisers, to every infeasible allocation. The mechanism then greedily attempts to match agents with their top choices. Whenever it reaches an

Incorporation of aluminum oxide in the formulation of pastes for building materials
This work analyzes the influence of aluminum oxide with a particle size of less than 75 μm on the behavior in a clay, when it is mixed with this material at 10% by weight. It is observed how it influences the different stages of the manufacturing process

Topology-optimization based design of multi-degree-of-freedom compliant mechanisms (mechanisms with multiple pseudo-mobility) [PDF]
Unlike conventional mechanisms, compliant mechanisms produce the desired deformations by exploiting elastic strain and do not need, therefore, moving parts. The number of degrees of freedom of a conventional mechanism, also called mobility, is the number of independent coordinates needed to define a configuration of the mechanism.

Boron Monochalcogenides; Stable and Strong Two-Dimensional Wide Band-Gap Semiconductors
In this short communication, we conducted first-principles calculations to explore the stability of boron monochalcogenides (BX, X = S, Se or Te), as a new class of two-dimensional (2D) materials.
