Platelet retraction force measurements using flexible post force sensors.
Platelets play an important role in hemostasis by forming a thrombotic plug that seals the vessel wall and promotes vascular healing. After platelets adhere and aggregate at the wound site, their next step is to generate contractile forces through the coordination of physicochemical interactions between actin, myosin, and alpha(IIb)beta(3) integrin receptors that retract the thrombus' size and ...
متن کاملFlexible Part Orienting Using Rotation Direction and Force Measurements
This paper presents a novel sensor-based flexible part orienting system based around the commonly available force/torque sensor. The system orients planar parts arriving on a conveyor belt via a sequence of pushing operations with a force/torque sensor equipped fence. A method to use the raw force data from the sensor to infer the rotation direction of the part is presented. Algorithms utilisin...
متن کاملViscometer using drag force measurements.
A robust and precise viscometer using the forces exerted by a laminar flow inside a small duct is presented: the force is measured on a long cylindrical sensor dipped into the flow. Two devices of respective volumes 1.4 and 0.031 ml have been realized, demonstrating that the technique is usable with small fluid volumes. Several Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids have been tested at shear rates ...
متن کاملForce Sensors in Hexapod Locomotion Force Sensors in Hexapod Locomotion
Biological systems can provide useful insights into principles of design and control of locomotion that can be applied to legged robots. In this paper we review our work on cockroaches using finite element analysis to model how loads are sensed and regulated in walking and climbing. A number of biological studies have shown that sensors that detect forces in the legs of insects are of particula...
متن کاملFlexible and Configurable Haptic Environments through Virtual Graphical Force Sensors
This paper presents a solution to virtual sensors which enables users to create virtual haptic environments in a flexible, easy to use and time efficient manner. The usefulness of virtual sensors has been shown in a number of applications, such as telepresent micro-assembly, in which haptic feedback is often desired without mechanical impact with a “real” sensor. Instead of requiring each virtu...
