Near-field thermal radiation transfer by mesoporous metamaterials
(The Optical Society, 2015-09-21)
In this work, we investigate the impact of nano-scale pores within structured metamaterials on spectral near-field radiative transfer. We use Finite Difference Time Domain Method (FDTD) and consider uniform and corrugated ...
Controlling germanium CMP selectivity through slurry mediation by surface active agents
(The Electrochemical Society, 2015-08-10)
New developments and device performance requirements in microelectronics industry add to the challenges in chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process. One of the recently introduced materials to semiconductor manufacturing ...
The photocatalytic effects of textile materials treated with TiO2 and Fe/TiO2
(Institutul Naţional de Cercetare-Dezvoltare pentru Textile şi Pielărie, 2015)
The research has been focused on the photocatalytic activity of the textile materials treated with TiO2 and TiO2 iron doped by pad-dry-cure and cationization - pad-dry-cure. The fabrics have been exposed to UV and visible ...
An evaluation of energy efficiency measures in a Turkish campus building for thermal comfort and economic risk
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2015)
As new and retrofitted Turkish buildings adopt stateof-the-art energy efficiency measures, hidden risks associated with compromised thermal comfort and disappointing returns on investment could go unnoticed unless a building ...
Pattern generation and compliant feedback control for quadrupedal dynamic trot-walking locomotion: experiments on roboCat-1 and hyQ
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2015-04)
In this paper, we introduce a method that synergistically combines an analytical pattern generator and a feedback controller frame, which are developed for the purpose of synthesizing dynamic quadrupedal trot-walking ...
Proof of concept for robot-aided upper limb rehabilitation using disturbance observers
(IEEE, 2015-02)
This paper presents a wearable upper body exoskeleton system with a model-based compensation control framework to support robot-aided shoulder-elbow rehabilitation and power assistance tasks. To eliminate the need for EMG ...
Torque and variable stiffness control for antagonistically driven pneumatic muscle actuators via a stable force feedback controller
(IEEE, 2015)
This paper describes a novel controller that is capable of simultaneously controlling torque and variable stiffness in real-time, for actuators with antagonistically driven pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs). To this end, ...
Towards balance recovery control for lower body exoskeleton robots with variable stiffness actuators: spring-loaded flywheel model
(IEEE, 2015)
This paper presents a biologically-inspired real-time balance recovery control strategy that is applied to a lower body exoskeleton with variable physical stiffness actuators at its ankle joints. For this purpose, a torsional ...
Environmental force estimation for a robotic hand : compliant contact detection
(IEEE, 2015)
This paper presents a model based compensation method to enable environmental force estimation for a robotic hand with no tactile or force sensors. To this end, we utilize multi-joint robot dynamics and disturbance observer ...
