Soft and Strong: Elastic Conductors with Bio‐Inspired Self‐Protection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A general reverse‐engineering approach is demonstrated for designing functional yarns that uses woven fabric architecture as a structural framework. The fabric‐based stretchable conductive yarns combine flexibility, high elasticity, low stiffness, self‐protection, and weavability with conventional textile processes. By fine‐tuning the number of elastic

Kinematic and Dynamic Analysis of the 2-DOF Spherical Wrist of Orthoglide 5-axis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper deals with the kinematics and dynamics of a two degree of freedom spherical manipulator, the wrist of Orthoglide 5-axis. The latter is a parallel kinematics machine composed of two manipulators: i) the Orthoglide 3-axis; a three-dof ...

A Lightweight, Flexible and Mechanically Robust Nonwoven Copper Metallized Nylon‐6 Fibers for Enhanced Charge Dissipation and Reduced Electrical Resistance for ESD Protection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A breathable and mechanically robust PA6 electrospun textile is modified via physical vapor deposition of a nanoscale copper layer, enabling efficient electrostatic charge dissipation. The resulting material exhibits a 99.6% decrease in triboelectric voltage and a 60% increase in tensile strength, offering a multifunctional solution for electrostatic ...

Novel Robotic Balloon-Based Device for Wrist-Extension Therapy of Hemiparesis Stroke Patients

open access: yesSensors
Upper-limb paresis is one of the main complications after stroke. It is commonly associated with impaired wrist-extension function. Upper-limb paresis can place a tremendous burden on stroke survivors and their families. A novel soft-actuator device, the

Electromechanical Anisotropy in Aligned Nanomesh Electrodes for E‐Skin Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Aligned nanofiber mesh electrodes exhibit direction‐dependent electromechanical responses when strained along or across the fiber axis. This controlled anisotropy enables the same free‐standing device to function as either a high‐sensitivity strain sensor or a stretchable interconnect, offering a breathable and biocompatible platform for skin ...

Wrist joint assembly [PDF]

open access: yes, 1978
A wrist joint assembly is provided for use with a mechanical manipulator arm for finely positioning an end-effector carried by the wrist joint on the terminal end of the manipulator arm. The wrist joint assembly is pivotable about a first axis to produce

Inkjet Printed Heating Elements on Textile Substrate for Functionalized Gloves

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This paper focuses on the implementation of a thin‐film heating structure dedicated to a human hand form using the inkjet printing technology, on a textile substrate for the application area of flexible wearable technologies. The heating performance of the finger structures on the textile substrate demonstrated comparable stable and homogeneous heating
