In this paper, a flexible modular “Tetris” microsatellite platform is studied to implement the rapid integration and assembly of microsatellites. The proposed fulfilled based on sandwich mode which consists isomorphic module structure standard mechanical-electric-data-thermal interfaces. advantages include reconfiguration efficient assembly. prototype built for verifying performance feasibility...

Current models of DNA origami folding can explain the yield assembly process and isomerization structure upon application mechanical forces. Nevertheless, role sequence...

Sizes of computer components are reaching nanoscale dimensions, causing physical limitations to be met in traditional computer architectures. This study surveys the field of alternative nanocomputer architectures, including the nano-mechanical computational machines first proposed by Eric Drexler. A high-level XML programming language, MolML, is introduced as a scripting language for hydrocarbo...

Cells have evolved an elegant tuning mechanism to maintain tissue integrity, in which increasing mechanical tension stimulates actin assembly at cell-cell junctions. The mechanosensitive junctional protein α-catenin acts through vinculin and Ena/VASP proteins to reinforce the cell against mechanical stress.

| Visual assembly inspection can provide a low cost, accurate, and eecient solution to the automated assembly inspection problem, which is a crucial component of any automated assembly manufacturing process. The performance of such an inspection system is heavily dependent on the placement of the camera and light source(s). This article presents new algorithms that use the CAD model of a nished...

A very wide range of micro-components, such as sensors, mechanical components and actuators can today be produced using micro-techniques. At the current stage, microsystem technology demands for advanced assembly facilities which can assemble complex microsystems consisting of many single components (i.e. hybrid microsystems). To perform a fully automated microassembly, problems specific to the...
