Effectiveness of Passive Heave Compensation in a Deepwater Environment

, 2011
The technical advantage of a method of providing heave compensation for deepwater installation operations is presented. This paper explores the use of passive heave compensation (PHC) as an alternative to active heave compensation (AHC) to improve seabed

Possible shunt compensation strategies based on conservative power theory

, 2010
Considering the Conservative Power Theory (CPT), this paper proposes some novel compensation strategies for shunt passive or active devices. The CPT current decompositions result in several current terms, which are associated with specific physical ...

Toward Fast Proton Shuttling in Acidic Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review establishes proton transfer dynamics as a descriptor governing acidic OER activity, moving beyond the kinetic constraints derived from the proton coupled electron transfer. We discuss how deprotonation governs classical mechanisms, including adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM), lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) and oxide path mechanism (OPM ...

Compensation of linear distortions by using XPM with parabolic pulses as a time lens [PDF]

, 2008
We experimentally demonstrate an all-optical all-fiberized scheme that can eliminate linear perturbations in the time domain. The technique relies on performing optical Fourier transforms on distorted signals to move their distortions from the time to ...

Review of Thermally Activated Twisted Coiled Polymer Actuators: A Materials Science Perspective

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermally activated twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) combine lightweight design, large deformation, and scalable fabrication for soft robotic and wearable applications. This review connects polymer structure, processing history, helix geometry, and thermomechanical characterization to actuator performance, highlighting current challenges in

High-intensity mechanical therapy for loss of knee extension for worker's compensation and non-compensation patients

Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation, Therapy & Technology, 2010
Background Knee flexion contractures have been associated with increased pain and a reduced ability to perform activities of daily living. Contractures can be treated either surgically or conservatively, but these treatment options may not be as ...

Interface Effects in Ultrathin Silicon on Insulator Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes a systematic framework to discriminate how bulk and interface phenomena affect charge transport in ultrathin P‐doped silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) films. For Si films below 15 nm, electrical characterization demonstrates that interface states drive charge transport, shifting the metal‐insulator transition (MIT) critical dopant ...
