Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is not only used in human assisted reproduction (ART), but it is also widely employed for veterinary in vitro fertilization during rare species preservation, germ-line rescue of transgenic animals or for any veterinary assisted conception. Piezo-assisted ICSI, which was first described in 1995 [1], can be employed for assisted conception in animals in whi...

Bu bildiride, açık döngülü piezo-elektrik doğrusal sürücüler için yüksek çözünürlükte histerez telafisi gösterilmektedir. Piezo-elektrik malzemelerde yapıları gereği mevcut olan doğrusalsızlıklar, Bouc-Wen modeli kullanılarak model tabanlı bir kontrol algoritması ile telafi edilmiştir. Telafi için kullanılan yöntemin histerez davranışında zaman, değişen frekans ve farklı hareket genişliği neden...

Micro Piezo technology is offering superior features in ink ejection performance, compatibility with a wide variety of inks, and durability. As a result, this technology has already being utilized effectively in various commercial and industrial fields such as photo lab printing, digital printing, textile printing, and color filter manufacturing. However, new printheads that have a larger numbe...

Using multiphysics simulations and experiments, we demonstrate that dielectric breakdown due to electric charge accumulation can lead sufficient hotspot development leading the initiation of chemical reactions in P(VDF-TrFE)/nAl films comprising a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) binder nano-aluminum particles. The field (E-field) material is driven by flexoelectric piezoelectric ...

2014 From symmetry considerations it is possible to deduce that velocity gradients ought to induce electric polarizations in cholesteric liquid crystals. We show that flexoelectricity can be responsible for such a phenomenon. LE JOURNAL DE PHYSIQUE TOME 39, JUIN 1978, Classification Physics Abstracts 61.30 77.60

The electrical control of the magnetization switching in ferromagnets is highly desired for future spintronic applications. Here we report on hybrid piezoelectric (PZT)/ferromagnetic (Co2FeAl) devices in which the planar Hall voltage in the ferromagnetic layer is tuned solely by piezo voltages. The change of planar Hall voltage is associated with magnetization switching through 90° in the plane...

Piezo ceramics are the key to significant improvements over conventional electromagnetic motors for the execution of precise movements with medical equipment. The latest generation piezo ceramic motors and actuators are more compact, require lower voltage, deliver higher torque, have shorter response time, generate less heat, and are nonmagnetic and vacuum compatible compared to EM motors. With...
