Origami Multistabilty: From Single Vertices to Metasheets [PDF]
, 2014 We explore the surprisingly rich energy landscape of origami-like folding planar structures. We show that the configuration space of rigid-paneled degree-4 vertices, the simplest building blocks of such systems, consists of at least two distinct branches

Error-Correcting Codes for Automatic Control [PDF]
, 2008 Systems with automatic feedback control may consist of several remote devices, connected only by unreliable communication channels. It is necessary in these conditions to have a method for accurate, real-time state estimation in the presence of channel ...
