Frequency references are fundamental to most digital systems, providing the basis for process synchronization, timing of outputs, and waveform synthesis. Recently, there has been growing interest in ...

Abstract: Logic synthesis is an important step in process design and automation. Electronics witnessed tremendous improvements in the reliability of automatically designed circuits with reduced lead ...

Pneumatic control systems are used in various applications, including: A single acting cylinder (SAC) is a type of pneumatic actuator that produces force and movement in one direction only. It has a ...

When envisioning the future of wearables and robotics, one may not immediately think of the foam in couch cushions. However, Rice University engineers have demonstrated that the airflow through ...

Basic Pneumatic Schematics and Circuit Design provides an overview of different common pneumatic schematic symbols, including air treatment symbols; pressure, flow, and direction valve symbols; and ...

ABSTRACT: Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) currently possess a high power-to-weight ratio, a high power-to-volume ratio, and a high degree of safety. They have therefore been applied to many power ...

Lab-on-a-chip devices aim to miniaturize laboratory procedures on microfluidic chips, which contain liquid circuits instead of electronics. Although the chips themselves are small, they are typically ...
