An Electrowetting Pump

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tubular electrowetting pump moves alternating droplets through a millimeter‐wide channel in discrete, reversible steps, functioning as a fluidic stepper motor. With no moving parts and electrodes insulated from the liquid, it delivers silent, accurate flow. Flexibility allows the pump to be woven directly into textiles for wearable, medical, and soft‐

Parametric Study of Bolt Clamping Effect on Resonance Characteristics of Langevin Transducers with Lumped Circuit Models

Sensors, 2020
We recently proposed a numerical model using equivalent circuit models to analyze the resonance characteristics of Langevin transducers and design them in a systematic manner. However, no pre-load torque biased by a metal bolt was considered in the model.
