Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...

Automotive three-microphone voice activity detector and noise-canceller [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper addresses issues in improving hands-free speech recognition performance in car environments. A three-microphone array has been used to form a beamformer with leastmean squares (LMS) to improve Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).

Identification of Jet Instability Waves and Design of a Microphone Array [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We propose a diagnostic technique to detect instability waves in a round jet using a conical microphone array. The detection algorithm is analogous to the beam-forming technique, which is used with a far-field microphone array to localize noise sources ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...
