Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

3D‐Printed Serial Snap‐Through Architectures for Programmable Mechanical Response
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A serial snap‐through architecture is realized using compact 3D‐printed von Mises truss units arranged in a staged cascade. Their geometry and boundary conditions program multistage mechanical responses with plateaux and re‐hardening regimes. An inverted‐compliance model predicts these behaviors and enables analytical design of programmable force ...

A formal semantics for control and data flow in the gannet service-based system-on-chip architecture [PDF]
, 2008 There is a growing demand for solutions which allow the design of large and complex reconfigurable Systems-on- Chip (SoC) at high abstraction levels. The Gannet project proposes a functional programming approach for high-abstraction design of very large

Fractional Skyrmion Tubes in Chiral‐Interfaced 3D Magnetic Nanowires
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In chiral 3D helical magnetic nanowires, the coupling between the geometric and magnetic chirality provides a way to create topological spin states like vortex tubes. Here, it is demonstrated how the breaking of this coupling in interfaced 3D nanowires of opposite chirality leads to even more complex topological spin states, such as fractional ...

Reconfigurable Lattice Agreement and Applications [PDF]
, 2019 Reconfiguration is one of the central mechanisms in distributed systems. Due to failures and connectivity disruptions, the very set of service replicas (or servers) and their roles in the computation may have to be reconfigured over time.
