Characterization and mapping of arrhythmias is currently performed through invasive insertion and manipulation of cardiac catheters. Electromechanical wave imaging (EWI) is a non-invasive ultrasound-based imaging technique, which tracks the electromechanical activation that immediately follows electrical activation. Electrical and electromechanical activations were previously found to be linear...

In the automotive industry, electrical and electromechanical components and systems become more and more important. In comparison with commonly used mechanical and hydraulic systems they offer a large number of advantages with respect to efficiency and flexibility, for example. Therefore, conventional hydraulic steering systems are being replaced more and more with electromechanical ones. Curre...

This paper presents power delivery and actuation mechanisms designed for use in autonomous mobile robots whose dimensions can be measured in tens to hundreds of micrometers. Test devices utilizing these mechanisms have been fabricated at scale using micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, and have been shown capable of untethered locomotion at speeds exceeding 1.5 mm/sec (scale-compa...

Joint loading is a recently developed mechanical modality, which potentially provides a therapeutic regimen to activate bone formation and prevent degradation of joint tissues. To our knowledge, however, few joint loading devices are available for clinical or point-of-care applications. Using a voice-coil actuator, we developed an electromechanical loading system appropriate for human studies a...

We sought to investigate variation of atrial electromechanical interval after catheter ablation procedure in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation using pulse Doppler (PW) and pulse tissue Doppler imaging (PW-TDI). A total of 25 consecutive in-patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, who restored sinus rhythm after ablation procedure, were recruited in our cardiac center. Echocardio...

In this study, we describe the operation of piezoelectric energy converters and electromechanical modeling harvesting (PEH) devices based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for low-power sensors. Consideration is given to a harvester standard MEMS. The parameters are determined optimized using simple MEMS cantilever model. On top Brass substrate, model uses single layer material. We utili...

Major disturbances in power system can take place after power system elements such as generators, loads, or transmission lines are suddenly disconnected. Such disturbances can create so called “electromechanical wave oscillations” waves which propagate through transmission lines at much lower speed than speed of light. They can cause adverse effect on power system protective relays. In this pap...

The present study depicts the first-ever optimized surface acoustic wave (SAW) device based on Beryllium Oxide (BeO) thin film. feasibility of devices BeO/128° YX LiNbO3 layered structure has been examined theoretically. SAW phase velocity, electromechanical coupling coefficient, and temperature coefficient delay for are calculated. is found to exhibit optimum value velocity (4476 ms−1) (~9.66%...
