With the emergence of more and more torque-controlled robots, the agility of leg locomotion has been promoted to a new level, which, however, seems also to imply that only torque-controlled robots are appropriate for leg locomotion. This paper demonstrates ...

The EC-system of the TCV tokamak is progressively being upgraded with the addition of two MW-class dual-frequency gyrotrons (84 and 126 GHz/2s/1MW). In order to connect the two gyrotrons to the existing low field side and top launchers, new waveguide routi ...

This paper proposes a shape optimization algorithm based on the principles of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) in which the parameterization of the geometry enters the problem formulation as an additional PDE-constraint. Inspired by the isoparametric principle ...

Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs), also known as guided mode resonant (GMR) gratings or waveguide-mode resonant gratings, are dielectric structures where these resonant diffractive elements benefit from lateral leaky guided modes and can operate from UV t ...

Although reinforced concrete U-shaped walls are popular in construction practice internationally, there is a paucity of experimental research investigating the seismic performance of such salient elements. The present paper summarizes an experimental campa ...

This paper explores the concept of dissipative exposed column base connections by means of anchor rod yielding. This concept aims at enhancing the seismic performance of low-rise steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs). A mechanics-based model is proposed tha ...

In order to study parasitic oscillation that may occur in a realistic beam duct upstream to the gyrotron cavity, the self-consistent linear and spectral code TWANGlinspec has been modified. The large inhomogeneities in the smooth-wall beam duct geometry or ...

Recently developed self-consistent models for beam-wave interaction simulations of a gyrotron oscillator are used to study spurious backward-wave instabilities in smooth-wall metallic beam ducts. Starting from a simple case with a basic geometry, the influ ...

Conventional conductive films that are used as electrodes in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) are susceptible to mechanical deformation, limiting the applicability of such films in flexible wearable electronic devices. To address this limitation, a hy ...

On ITER, long pulse gyrotrons are required as a power source for electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and current drive (CD). The microwaves are guided from the gyrotrons, which are placed far from the Tokamak, into the plasma by transmission lines (TLs) and a ...

A biosensor device including a metal layer, a transparent substrate layer, and a dielectric layer, wherein the metal layer includes a plurality of sub-wavelength apertures, and wherein the dielectric layer is located between the metal layer and the transpa ...

Raw exhaust gases may contain notable levels of formaldehyde that can negatively impact the efficiency of after -treatment systems. In the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx over V2O5/WO3-TiO2, formaldehyde was found to react with NH3 to produce HC ...

Isolation of a system from its environment is often desirable, from precision measurements to control of individual quantum systems; however, dissipation can also be a useful resource. Remarkably, engineered dissipation enables the preparation of quantum s ...

With the aim of gaining a better physical insight into linear regimes in gyrotrons, a new linear model was developed. This model is based on a spectral approach for solving the self-consistent system of equations describing the wave-particle interaction in ...
