Out Of Plane

Future robotic systems will be pervasive technologies operating autonomously in unknown spaces that are shared with humans. Such complex interactions make it compulsory for them to be lightweight, soft, and efficient in a way to guarantee safety, robustness, and long-term operation. Such a set of qualities can be achieved using soft multipurpose systems that combine, integrate, and commute between conventional electromechanical and fluidic drives, as well as harvest energy during inactive actuation phases for increased energy efficiency. Here, we present an electrostatic actuator made of thin films and liquid dielectrics combined with rigid polymeric stiffening elements to form a circular electrostatic bellow muscle (EBM) unit capable of out-of-plane contraction. These units are easy to manufacture and can be arranged in arrays and stacks, which can be used as a contractile artificial muscle, as a pump for fluid-driven soft robots, or as an energy harvester. As an artificial muscle, EBMs of 20 to 40 millimeters in diameter can exert forces of up to 6 newtons, lift loads over a hundred times their own weight, and reach contractions of over 40% with strain rates over 1200% per second, with a bandwidth over 10 hertz. As a pump driver, these EBMs produce flow rates of up to 0.63 liters per minute and maximum pressure head of 6 kilopascals, whereas as generator, they reach a conversion efficiency close to 20%. The compact shape, low cost, simple assembling procedure, high reliability, and large contractions make the EBM a promising technology for high-performance robotic systems.

The objective of this study is to design and fabricate a high reliability LED Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS) package to complex heat sink attachment using an advanced thermal interface material (TIM). The assembly consists of LED IMS parts bonded to a heat spreader/sink using an advanced TIM and a corner bond material to quickly and accurately secure the LEDs in position. The corner bond adhesive is snap cured for fast machine cycle times while the high performance, high adhesion TIM materials cure throughout the rest of the assembly operation. This approach allows high accuracy LED bonding without the need for alignment pins or fasteners to anchor to the IMS. The IMS attached to the heat sink is then electrically interconnected with a thin flex substrate on top of the IMS. This approach is expected to replace the current mechanical fastners and low strength silicone TIM materials and reduce the cycle time and overall placement cost which are key drivers especially for the automotive industry.

The most promising for mass use in gas analysis equipment are semiconductor gas sensors due to their high reliability, easy operation and relatively low cost. Power consumption in the single-sensor mode, constant heating is from 250 to 600 W average and in pulsed mode heating – ≤ 20 W. The aim of this work was to study the effectiveness of the pulsed heating for multisensor microsystems consisting of two sensors on the substrate of the nanostructured aluminum oxide, compared with the mode of constant heating.For sensitive layers were chosen compositions: SnO2+Pt+Pd at the first sensor of the microsystem and In2O3+Al2O3+Pt on the second. Measuring the sensor response in the pulse heating mode was carried out as follows. Power on each sensor microsystem was installed 1.3 mW. Then the short-term heating (theat.. = 5 s) was performed at the power 61 mW. The detected gases CO and NO2 with the concentration 200 ppm and 4 ppm, correspondingly, were submitted to the microsystem after 15 minutes. The resistance values for each of the sensor were fixed. According to the results determine the sensitivity (sensor response) the maximum value is after 60 s for the sensor with a sensing layer SnO2+Pt+Pd when exposed to CO was 670 %, and for the sensor with In2O3+Al2O3+Pt – 380 %.Advantages of using pulsed heating from the point of view of a power consumption multisensor microsystem mW-range and high performance sensors on substrates of nanostructured alumina were established.

This paper presents, for the first time, the thermo-mechanical reliability and the electrical performance of 30μm through package vias (TPVs) formed by Corning in ultra-thin low-cost bare glass interposers and metallized directly by sputter seed and electroplating. In contrast to glass interposers with polymer coated glass cores reported previously, this paper reports on direct metallization of thin and uncoated glass panels with fine pitch TPVs. The scalability of the unit processes to large panel sizes is expected to result in bare glass interposers at 2 to 10 times lower cost than silicon interposers fabricated using back end of line (BEOL) wafer processes. The thermo-mechanical reliability of 30μm TPVs was studied by conducting accelerated thermal cycling tests (TCT), with most via chains passing 1000 cycles from −55°C to 125°C. The high-frequency behavior of the TPVs was characterized by modeling, design and measurement up to 30 GHz.

Atrial Fibrillation is a common cardiac arrhythmia, which is characterized by an abnormal heartbeat rhythm that can be life-threatening. Recently, researchers have proposed several Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect Atrial Fibrillation. CNNs have high requirements on computing and memory resources, which usually demand the use of High Performance Computing (eg, GPUs). This high energy demand is a challenge for portable devices. Therefore, efficient hardware implementations are required. We propose a computational architecture for the inference of a Quantized Convolutional Neural Network (Q-CNN) that allows the detection of the Atrial Fibrillation (AF). The architecture exploits data-level parallelism by incorporating SIMD-based vector units, which is optimized in terms of computation and storage and also optimized to perform both the convolutional and fully connected layers. The computational architecture was implemented and tested in a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. We present the experimental results regarding the quantization process in a different number of bits, hardware resources, and precision. The results show an accuracy of 94% accuracy for 22-bits. This work aims to be the basis for the future implementation of a portable, low-cost, and high-reliability device for the diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation.

Day Services

The increase o f request brings large traffic to networks especially to data centers, large enterprises and portal websites. In addition, server provides more and more information by using applications. Most servers have to provide all-day services, and any service interruption or key data loss in communication will result in business loss. All these require high performance and high reliability on application services. However, the increase of server processing speed and memory access speed is greatly lower than that o f the network bandwidth and applications. In addition, the increase o f network bandwidth makes server resource consumption more serious. Therefore, the servers become the network bottleneck, and the traditional single device mode becomes the network failure point. Load balancing (LB) comes to provide a good solution by providing multiple servers form a server cluster, with each server providing the same or similar services. A load balancing application is managed at the front end o f the server cluster to distribute user requests in the server cluster according to pre-configured load balancing rules, provide services, and maintain the servers. Load balancing bring good advantage such as bring faster application, low cost, the available resources will not be wasted, and no high-end devices are needed for the new resources. It is expandability. When services are increasing, the system can satisfy the needs by adding servers, without affecting the existing services and reducing service quality. Load balancing also has high reliability. When a server fails, the LB application or LB device redistributes user requests to other servers in the same cluster, ensuring uninterrupted services.
