demand. Electro-mechanical actuators utilize power only when needed. “The electronic actuator system also weighs less than a hydraulic system,” said Nola. “When designing propulsion systems to leave ...

A fascinating nature of two-dimensional materials is that they are atomic layer thin films that can be electrically-driven into vibration and serve as nano-electro-mechanical resonators (NEMS) with ...

It is 30 degrees on a Thursday, April morning, which is generous for the early spring temperatures around Minot Air Force ...

The method involves changing the triple-loop cascade control to a dual-loop control architecture with an integrated outer loop for position and speed control and an inner loop for current control.

The first computers were built using electro-mechanical components, unlike today’s modern electronic systems. Alan Turing’s cryptanalysis multiplier and Konrad Zuse’s Z2 were invented and built in the ...

Steer-by-wire and shift-by-wire systems, which control steering and transmission through electronics instead of using mechanical and hydraulic means, have become increasingly popular in recent years, ...

Introduction to microelectromechanical devices with an emphasis on their manufacturing and mechanical behavior. Material properties, microfabrication technology, mechanical behavior of of ...

At NAB 2026 in Las Vegas, Lectrosonics was showing its new L1 lavalier microphone, which includes a Sonaura MEMS ...

MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems, which are smaller than microscopic dust mites) have been used for several decades in everything from inkjet printers to accelerometers that deploy air bags in ...
