A Vision-based Scheme for Kinematic Model Construction of Re-configurable Modular Robots

open access: yes, 2017
Re-configurable modular robotic (RMR) systems are advantageous for their reconfigurability and versatility. A new modular robot can be built for a specific task by using modules as building blocks.

High-reliability Electronic Systems Development and Implementation for Safety Applications [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, 2017
It is known that modern electronic systems require increased safety in their operation. Despite of the remarcable technological achievments reached mostly in the last two decades, faults remains unavoidable in electronic systems.

A stochastic framework for secure reconfiguration of active distribution networks

open access: yesIET Generation, Transmission & Distribution, 2022
Automatic reconfiguration is one of the key actions in self‐healing distribution networks. In these networks, after detecting and isolating the faulted portion, an automatic reconfiguration procedure is performed to restore the maximum possible affected ...

3D‐Printed Serial Snap‐Through Architectures for Programmable Mechanical Response

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

Applying tropos to socio-technical system design and runtime configuration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Recent trends in Software Engineering have introduced the importance of reconsidering the traditional idea of software design as a socio-tecnical problem, where human agents are integral part of the system along with hardware and software components ...

Selective and Precise Editing of Digital Polymers Through Parallel or Series Toehold‐Mediated Strand Displacement

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A sequence‐encoded supramolecular construct containing two accessible toeholds is developed herein for enabling multiple editing operations. By introducing specific input strands, it is possible to selectively erase or rewrite digital content through parallel or series toehold‐mediated strand displacement (PTMSD or STMSD).

Upgrading a Shrouded Wind Turbine with a Self-Adaptive Flanged Diffuser

open access: yesEnergies, 2015
In this paper, a self-adaptive flange is proposed for the wind turbine shrouded by a flanged diffuser to reduce the wind loads acting on the flanged diffuser at high wind velocities.

Self-reconfigurable multicell batteries

open access: yes2011 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition, 2011
The traditional multicell battery design usually employs a fixed configuration to connect multiple cells in series and parallel during operation in order to achieve the required voltage and current. However, this fixed configuration results in low reliability, low fault tolerance, and nonoptimal energy conversion efficiency. This paper proposes a novel
