The impedance/admittance measurements of a piezoelectric transducer bonded to or embedded in a host structure can be used as damage indicator. When a credible model of the healthy structure, such as the finite element model, is available,…
Some recent methods, like the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), propose to decompose a signal accordingly to its contained information. Even though its adaptability seems useful for many applications, the main issue with this approach is…
Here we present a flexible tip mount for eversion (vine) robots. This soft cap allows attaching a payload to an eversion robot while allowing moving through narrow openings, as well as the eversion of protruding objects, and expanded…
This paper presents the definition of a teleoperated robotic system for non-destructive corrosion inspection of Steel Cylinder Concrete Pipes (SCCP) from the inside. A general description of in-pipe environment and a state of the art of…
Transverse electron focusing in two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) with strong spin-orbit coupling is revisited. The transverse focusing is related to the transmission between two contacts at the edge of a 2DEG when a perpendicular…
The electron optics of a 90 degree spherical deflecting analyzer (SDA-90) is investigated with an imaging matrix formalism. As a preanalyzer in the UTA-neutrino experiment, high transmission and reasonable energy resolution are the choices…
Incident in water distribution systems (WDS) cause water loss and water contamination that requires the utility managers to assess the condition of pipelines in a timely manner. However, pipelines are long and access to all parts of it is a…
This paper presents the use of multi-sensor measurement system to guide autonomous mobile robot in the house. The system allows the 3D image acquisition to global mapping, and algorithms to reduce the dimensionality of images to 2D global…
This paper introduces a constructive method for approximating relative continuum measurements in two-dimensional electrical impedance tomography based on data originating from either the point electrode model or the complete electrode…
Mapping the potential landscape with high spatial resolution is crucial for quantum technologies based on ultracold atoms. Yet, imaging optical dipole traps is challenging because purely optical methods, commonly used to profile laser beams…
We implement the impedance measurement technique (IMT) for characterization of interferometer-type superconducting qubits. In the framework of this method, the interferometer loop is inductively coupled to a high-quality tank circuit. We…
In today's chemical plants, human field operators perform frequent integrity checks to guarantee high safety standards, and thus are possibly the first to encounter dangerous operating conditions. To alleviate their task, we present a…
Imagine sitting at your desk, looking at objects on it. You do not know their exact distances from your eye in meters, but you can immediately reach out and touch them. Instead of an externally defined unit, your sense of distance is tied…
We present a deep learning-based computational algorithm for inversion of circular Radon transforms in the partial radial setup, arising in photoacoustic tomography. We first demonstrate that the truncated singular value decomposition-based…
Controlling the magnetization reversal process of magnetic elements is important for a wide range of applications that make use of magnetoresistive effects, but is difficult to achieve for devices that require adjacent thin film structures…
This paper formally defines a robot system, including its sensing and actuation components, as a general, topological dynamical system. The focus is on determining general conditions under which various environments in which the robot can…
Worm-inspired robots provide an effective locomotion strategy for constrained environments by combining cyclic body deformation with alternating anchoring. For compliant robots, however, the interaction between deformable anchoring…
This paper aims at presenting a new approach to the electro-sensing problem using wavelets. It provides an efficient algorithm for recognizing the shape of a target from micro-electrical impedance measurements. Stability and resolution…
In this article, we report some examples of how high-energy electron irradiation can be used as a tool for shaping material properties turning the generation of point-defects into an advantage beyond the presumed degradation of the…
This study focuses on inverting time-domain airborne electromagnetic data in 2D by training a neural-network to understand the relationship between data and conductivity, thereby removing the need for expensive forward modeling during the…
