Soft, Transparent, Electronic Skin for Distributed and Multiple Pressure Sensing

In this paper we present a new optical, flexible pressure sensor that can be applied as smart skin to a robot or to consumer electronic devices. We describe a mechano-optical transduction principle that can allow the encoding of information related to an externally applied mechanical stimulus, e.g., contact, pressure and shape of contact. The physical embodiment that we present in this work is ...

Towards Guided Trajectory Explorationof Graph Transformation SystemsThis work was partially supported by the SecureChange (ICT-FET-231101) project and the Janos Bolyai Scholarship

Graph transformation systems (GTS) are often used for modeling the behavior of complex systems. A common GTS analysis scenario is the exploration of its state space from an initial state to a state adhering to given goals through a proper trajectory. Guided trajectory exploration uses information from some more abstract analysis of the system as hints to reduce the traversed state space. These ...

Profiling Kinase Activities by Using a Peptide Chip and Mass SpectrometryThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation. D.-H.M. was supported by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Interfaces Program.

Herein we describe a strategy that combines peptide chips with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) to evaluate kinase activities rapidly and semi-quantitatively. We have already shown that monolayers of alkanethiolates on gold are wellsuited as substrates for MALDI-TOF MS, and could be used to measure enzyme activities and to perform hig...
