AbstractThe demand for minimally invasive surgery is continuously growing. Especially when it comes to the treatment of peripheral vascular and coronary artery diseases high quality medical devices are the key for long‐term favorable outcomes. In the past years, shape‐memory alloys (SMA) known to exhibit superelasticity and shape memory behaviors, have

Contextuality is a fundamental feature of quantum theory and is necessary for quantum computation and communication. Serious steps have therefore been taken towards a formal framework for contextuality as an operational resource. However, the most important component for a resource theory - a concrete, explicit form for the free operations of ...

A New Miniature Wind Turbine for Wind Tunnel Experiments. Part I: Design and Performance
Miniature wind turbines, employed in wind tunnel experiments to study the interaction of turbines with turbulent boundary layers, usually suffer from poor performance with respect to their large-scale counterparts in the field.

Comparison of actuation schemes for wire-driven parallel robots [PDF]
There are two main systems that can be used to coil and uncoil the wires of a wire-driven parallel robots: a rotary motor that turns a drum on which the wire is coiled or a linear motor with a pulley system.

Advancing the performance of one-dimensional photonic crystal/photonic wire micro-cavities in silicon-on-insulator [PDF]
We present new results that demonstrate advances in the performance achievable in photonic crystal/photonic wire micro-cavities. In one example, a quality-factor value as high as 147,000 has been achieved experimentally at a useful transmission ...
