Abstract: In this letter, a novel soft origami module is proposed to detect multi-directional bending. The module is inspired by the deformability and adaptability of the piezoelectric sensor and ...

Just about every “getting started with microcontrollers” kit, Arduino or otherwise, includes an ultrasonic distance sensor module. Given the power of microcontrollers these days, it was only a matter ...

The underlying mechanism improving piezoelectricity via interfacial polarization is elucidated through combining the experimental results, molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory ...

DGIST (President Lee Kunwoo) has announced that a research team led by Dr. Lim Sang-kyu in the Department of Energy and Environmental Technology has developed a smart fiber sensor that can detect ...

If you do FDM 3D printing, you know one of the biggest problems is sensing the bed. Nearly all printers have some kind of bed probing now, and it makes printing much easier, but there are many ...

The high-sensitivity image sensor modules are versatile. Imaging applications include real- time non-destructive inspection techniques such as food screening, plastic sorting, semiconductor inspection ...

Understanding acoustic feedback in hearing aids. Power consumption challenges in hearing aids. Functionality integration and its impact on energy consumption. The benefits of using photoreflectors for ...

Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. The two began working together last ...
