Coupled Rotary and Oscillatory Motion in a Second-Generation Molecular Motor Pd Complex

Molecular machines offer many opportunities for the development of responsive materials and introduce autono-mous motion in molecular systems. While basic molecular switches and motors carry out one type of motion upon being exposed to an external stimulus ...

Gravity-Compensation Design Approaches for Flexure-Pivot Time Bases

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Quentin Gubler

While flexure time bases have gained significant traction in the watchmaking industry thanks to their high quality factor and monolithic design, maintaining a stable frequency in varying orientations of wrist watches with respect to gravity remains a signi ...

Voss surfaces: A design space for geodesic gridshells

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Nicolas Robin Montagne

The design of envelopes with complex geometries often leads to construction challenges. To overcome these difficulties, resorting to discrete differential geometry proved successful by establishing close links between mesh properties and the existence of g ...

Evidence for structural damping in a high-stress silicon nitride nanobeam and its implications for quantum optomechanics

Tobias Kippenberg, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Sergey Fedorov, Ryan Daniel Schilling, Vivishek Sudhir, Hendrik Schütz

We resolve the thermal motion of a high-stress silicon nitride nanobeam at frequencies far below its fundamental flexural resonance (3.4 MHz) using cavity-enhanced optical interferometry. Over two decades, the displacement spectrum is well-modeled by that ...

Preliminary Study: Effects of Visual Distortion on Standing Balance Motion Amplitude and Visual Dependency on an Unstable Surface

Olaf Blanke, Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jemina Fasola

Visual feedback is a common method to enhance motor learning and is widely used in rehabilitation institutes. Although balance training with visual feedback has shown positive results, the most effective way to provide the feedback is still open to researc ...

Few distinct distances implies no heavy lines or circles

Frank de Zeeuw

We study the structure of planar point sets that determine a small number of distinct distances. Specifically, we show that if a set of n points determines o(n) distinct distances, then no line contains Omega(n (7/8)) points of and no circle contains Omega ...

Surface Parametrization of a Francis Runner Turbine for Optimum Design

François Avellan

The aim of this paper is to apply a surface parameterization to a blade. This geometric representation should be used as a practical tool in the process of design optimization. Most parameterizations are based on blade section approaches. The parameters ar ...
