This simple STM setup utilises a piezoelectric actuator constructed by deliberately cutting a piezo speaker into four quadrants. With individual drive wires attached to the four quadrants.

The device provides a range of sensations, such as vibrations, pressure, and twisting. A team of engineers led by ...

What is a sensory weaver? [Curiosiate] tells us: “A device which takes sensory data feeds in and converts it in various ways on the body as information streams as though a native sensory input.” ...

A recent breakthrough in photothermal actuator design has been achieved by a research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Prof. Tian Xingyou ...

Abstract: This article proposes a rate bumpless switching control approach for the turbofan control systems with actuator faults based on switched models. A characterization of the rate bump restraint ...

What an actuator is, and what the difference is between linear and rotary The three main energy types—electric, pneumatic and hydraulic—plus thermal, magnetic and piezoelectric What to keep in ...
