− The paper present a simultaneous force and length variation mode shape memory alloy (SMA) robotic application. The robotic ankle contains 4 SMA actuators and a spherical articulation. In order to assure a high efficient robotic architecture, the mechanical and the control structure have to assure a real-time response to the work environment changes. The load variations or the difference betwe...

A 2-dimensional space-filling curve, here, is a surjective continuous map from an interval to a 2-dimensional space. To construct a new space-filling curve distinct and much different from Hilbert’s, Peano’s, and the Z-order, we first observe that all three of these curves are based on self-similar fractals–in particular, the recursive definition of the sequences of functions that converge to t...

this talk will introduce the idea that talent development is related to learning where learning is the physiological process of neuro-plastic changes in the brain. to develop talents, individuals must move from novice or beginner’s status to expertise levels of knowledge or skills in a particular domain. learning depends on maximizing an individual’s potential through the experiences he or she ...

Nowadays we witness a miniaturisation trend in the semiconductor industry backed up by groundbreaking discoveries and designs nanoscale characterisation fabrication. To facilitate produce ever smaller, faster cheaper computing devices, size of nanoelectronic devices is now reaching scale atoms or molecules - technical goal undoubtedly demanding for novel devices. Following trend, explore an unc...

Superfluidity or superconductivity with mismatched Fermi momenta appears in many systems such as charge neutral dense quark matter, asymmetric nuclear matter, and in imbalanced cold atomic gases. The mismatch plays the role of breaking the Cooper pairing, and the pair-breaking state cannot be properly described in the framework of standard BCS theory. I give a brief review on recent theoretical...
