In this paper, the design and testing of a novel valve for the intuitive spatial control of soft or continuum manipulators are presented.The design of the hoods-muzzles valve is based on the style of a hydraulic flapper valve, but with simultaneous control of three pressure feed points, which can be used to drive three antagonistically arranged hyd
The increasing popularity and prevalence of Internet of Things (IoT) applications have led to the widespread use of IoT devices.These devices gather information from their environment and send it across a network.IoT devices are unreliable due to their susceptibility to defect that arise intentionally or spontaneously.IoT devices must be dependable
This paper presents a new frequency controller for variable speed wind turbines connected to the grid under power imbalance skirt conditions.It is based on the fast power reserve emulation technique, having two different operation modes: overproduction and recovery mode.In the first mode, the active power provided by wind turbines is set over the m
Similar to cells, viruses often compartmentalize specific functions such as genome replication or particle assembly.Viral compartments may contain host organelle membranes or they may be mainly composed of viral proteins.These compartments are often termed: inclusion skirt bodies (IBs), viroplasms or viral factories.The same virus may form more tha
