A flexible metamaterial RF detector for magnetic resonance imaging is described. The circuit consists of a polygonal arrangement of magnetically coupled L-C resonators with rectangular inductors, which supports magneto-inductive waves. The elements are mechanically linked to allow adjacent elements to rotate as the ring is flexed. The pivot is optimised to hold the nearest neighbour coupling co...

Rice University’s Wireless Open-Access Research Platform (WARP) is a platform designed to enable flexible research and prototyping of wireless networks at all layers. Specifically, WARP provides flexible processing resources tightly coupled to multiple radio interfaces, which can realize highperformance MIMO interfaces. This tight coupling of radio interfaces with local processing resources ena...

Utilizing theory of the secondary quantization, a study of vibration behaviors in flexible-link robot arms is possible in microscopic viewpoints. This paper studies the relation of vibration related to phonon coupling interaction by means of Green’s function method beginning with energy model. Results confirm analytically the existence of the relationship between the macroscopic study employing...

Given any structure, we seek to find the solution of mechanical problem as precisely and efficiently as possible. Within this condition, the BEM is robust and promising development, standing out in the analysis of cases with occurrence of large stress gradients, as in problems of fracture mechanics. Moreover, in BEM the modeling of infinite means is performed naturally, without the use of appro...

[1] We present a detailed description of the Glimmer ice sheet model, comprising the physics represented in the model and the numerical techniques used. Established methods are combined with good software design to yield an adaptable and widely applicable model. A flexible framework for coupling Glimmer to global climate forcing is also described. Testing and benchmarking is of crucial importan...
