Monitoring and assessment for obstructive sleep apnea

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
This review systematically classifies Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) monitoring indicators into three categories: physical, biochemical, and electrophysiological indicators, and lists several methods for each category. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep‐disordered breathing disease characterized by recurrent upper airway ...

Two-degree-of-freedom control scheme for flying-height and tracking-position controls with thermal actuators in HDDs

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2018
To improve positioning accuracy of a magnetic head in hard disk drives (HDDs), a triple-stage-actuator system was proposed with a thermal positioning actuator for a magnetic head positioning system. This positioning system has three types of actuators: a

Design and Optimization of a Voice Coil Motor With a Rotary Actuator for an Ultrasound Scanner

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2015
This paper proposes a new application for the rotary voice coil motor (VCM). In developing a low-cost ultrasound scanner for the developing world, an oscillating transducer is required to sweep over the skin. The ultrasound scanner must operate from a USB power supply in remote locations. The application requires a 3.3-N force on the coils of the motor

A Design Specifications Template for Wearable Haptic Interfaces: A Case Study for Robotic Gripper Applications

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wearable haptic interfaces are increasingly important for enhancing human robot collaboration, particularly in decision critical tasks that require intuitive and reliable interaction. Despite advances in wearable systems, existing designs often lack a structured framework that systematically integrates sensing, actuation, control, and user ...

Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.
