SCREAM MicroElectroMechanical Systems

open access: yesMicroelectronic Engineering, 1996
A process called SCREAM for Single Crystal Reactive Etching And Metallization is used to make MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). The SCREAM process yields high-aspect-ratio (>50:1) released, single crystal silicon structures with micrometer-scale minimum features and a suspension span of greater than 5 millimeters. Such structures include picofarad

Influence of Calcium Acetate Concentration in Electrolyte on Tribocorrosion Behaviour of MAO Treated Titanium

open access: yesMetals, 2021
Ti-based materials are widely used for dental and orthopaedic implant applications due to their adequate mechanical properties, corrosion behaviour and biocompatibility. However, these materials are biologically inert and display poor wear resistance. In

Electrical microfluidic pressure gauge for elastomer microelectromechanical systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We report on an electrical microfluidic pressure gauge. A polydimethylsiloxane microvalve closes at a characteristic applied pressure determined by the material's properties and the valve's dimensions.

A Review on Locomotion Mode Recognition and Prediction When Using Active Orthoses and Exoskeletons

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Understanding how to seamlessly adapt the assistance of lower-limb wearable assistive devices (active orthosis (AOs) and exoskeletons) to human locomotion modes (LMs) is challenging.

Resonant Microcantilevers for the Determination of the Loss Modulus of Thin Polymer Films [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The increasing interest in polymer materials creates the need for accurate tools to characterize their mechanical properties. Due to energy dissipation in polymers during deformation, these materials exhibit viscoelastic behavior.

Kinematics, Speed, and Anthropometry-Based Ankle Joint Torque Estimation: A Deep Learning Regression Approach

open access: yesMachines, 2021
Powered Assistive Devices (PADs) have been proposed to enable repetitive, user-oriented gait rehabilitation. They may include torque controllers that typically require reference joint torque trajectories to determine the most suitable level of assistance.
