The discovery of the superconductivity phenomenon and understanding of electromagnetic properties of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials allow the optimization and creation of several applications, such as, electrical machines and drives, fault current applications, or superconducting magnetic energy storage, well described in the literature. Electromechanical conversion devices ba...

We report the design, fabrication and application of a novel micro-electromechanical device coupled to a confocal Raman microscope that enables in situ molecular investigations of micro-fibers under uniaxial tensile load. This device allows for the mechanical study of micro-fibers with diameters in the range between 10 and 100μm and lengths of several hundred micrometers. By exerting forces in ...

This paper considers an improvement of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in the presence of missing data. EMD has been widely used to decompose nonlinear and nonstationary signals into some components according to intrinsic frequency called intrinsic mode functions. However, the conventional EMD may not be efficient when missing values are present. This paper proposes a modified EMD procedure ...

BACKGROUND Changes in electromechanical delay during muscle activation are expected when there are substantial alterations in the structural properties of the musculotendinous tissue. In anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, specific tendons are being harvested for grafts. Thus, there is an associated scar tissue development at the tendon that may affect the corresponding electromechanical...

BACKGROUND: Currently the Russian Federation Government has a strong focus to roads safety. This is due national project Safe High-Quality Roads. One of tools pedestrian safety in an urban are road bumps. They need for drivers speed slow.
 Contrarily world scientists create alternative sources electrical energy. It led type as technical electrogenerating devices.
 Whereas have big amo...

Biosense-Webster, a Johnson&Johnson Company) is a recently developed technique that enables the acquisition of on-line information on the electrical and mechanical endoventricular functioning of myocardial tissue. 1 The rationale for this new technique is 2-fold. First, none of the currently available in-cathlab methods can distinguish viable from non-viable myocardium. Accepted techniques, suc...

Objective To design and implement an electromyography (EMG)-based controller for a hand robotic assistive device, which is able to classify the user's motion intention before the effective kinematic movement execution. Methods Multiple degrees-of-freedom hand grasp movements (i.e. pinching, grasp an object, grasping) were predicted by means of surface EMG signals, recorded from 10 bipolar EMG e...

Graphene nanoribbons present intriguing electronic properties due to their characteristic size and edge shape, and have been suggested for a wide range of applications from electronics to electromechanical systems. To bridge the scales from their nanostructural geometry--the key for their unique properties--to the requirements critical for large-scale electronics and device applications, here w...
