A Review on Flame Stabilization Technologies for UAV Engine Micro-Meso Scale Combustors: Progress and Challenges

Progress on Membrane Distillation and Related Technologies

Micro and Meso Scale Robotic Assembly

Some of the challenges associated with micro systems assembly are examined in this paper, and illustrated with examples of on-going research at the authors’ institution. One of the basic challenges in precision assembly is the need for very high accuracy over a large range of motion. We address this challenge through a “multiscale” approach. This involves the design of assembly tools and proces...

Micro-Mechanical Switch Array for Meso-Scale Actuation

Traditional MEMS actuators have limited stroke and force characteristics. This paper describes the development of a hybrid actuation solution, which utilizes a micro-machined actuator array to provide switching of mechanical motion of a larger mesoscale piezo-electric actuator. One motivating application of this technology is the development of a tactile display, where discrete mechanical actua...
