We develop a theoretical model for a fluidic current source consisting of a via, a detour channel, and a push-up type micro-valve. The model accurately describes the non-linear behaviour of this type of device, which has been previously measured experimentally. We show how various structural parameters and material properties of the device influence the saturated flow rate and the minimum drivi...

Field Experiments with the Ames Marsokhod Rover

In an ongoing series of field experiments, the Ames Marsokhod rover is deployed to remote locations and operated by scientists in simulated planetary explorations. These experiments provide insight both for scientists preparing for real planetary surface exploration and for robotics researchers. In this paper we will provide an overview of our work with the Marsokhod, describe the various subsy...

In the short-lived network television drama “Off the Map,” about a medical clinic in the jungles of South America, one episode dealt with a patient’s oral cancer diagnosis, as well as with customs officials demanding bribes to permit medical supplies into the country. Craig Hovick (’79 DDS), a periodontist in Longmont, Colo., found the story line a little weak but the medical challenges quite r...
