A miniature smart robotic foot (SRF), equipped with an integrated vacuum pump, a suction cup, a pressure sensor and a micro-valve, was designed, fabricated and tested. A mock-up robot equipped with the SRF was used to study the load-carrying potential of the system. The SRF weighs 35 g and it can, w

Helium cooling has been shown to be very attractive from safety considerations as a coolant for ITER. However, there is a concern that use of helium will result in large manifolds and large pumping power. The purpose of this task was to design, fabricate and test a helium cooled divertor module for
## Abstract We have constructed a smallβbore insertable gradient coil with two linear gradient imaging regions and interfaced it with an MRI scanner. We have also constructed an RF system capable of transmitting or receiving in both regions simultaneously. Designs for conductor placement for twoβre
## Abstract This study introduces a novel strategy for enhancing the performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells at high current densities by means of an advanced gas diffusion layer design. The incorporation of hydrophilic wicking agents into microporous layers of the cathode gas diffusion layer
Micro-and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) have a high potential for mass sensing application. By miniaturization of the dimensions, higher and higher sensitivities can be achieved. Here we are presenting finite element modelling and optimization of a free-free beam type mechanical resonato
