Nano-opto-electro-mechanical systems.

A new class of hybrid systems that couple optical, electrical and mechanical degrees of freedom in nanoscale devices is under development in laboratories worldwide. These nano-opto-electro-mechanical systems (NOEMS) offer unprecedented opportunities to control the flow of light in nanophotonic structures, at high speed and low power consumption. Drawing on conceptual and technological advances ...

An Electro - Mechanical Model of the Heart forCardiac Image

A simple electro-mechanical model of the heart is derived to best t available cardiac images. The model is based on anisotropic linear elasticity and, from the electrical point of view, on the nite-element discretisation of the FitzHugh-Nagumo electric wave-propagation model. Present simulations include static image segmentation. By including biological and physical a priori knowledge, more rea...

Improving the Control and Reliability of an Electro- Mechanical Actuator

By combining the disciplines of control design, condition monitoring and fault detection identification and accommodation, it should be possible to provide actuators that possess: consistent and tuneable closed-loop performance, a tolerance to sensor faults and the ability to detect actuator deterioration early. This will lead to improved reliability and availability of the actuator. This paper...
