Many robotic hands have individually driven joints, which is both energy inefficient and complicated to control. An alternative method includes employing only one motor to control multiple joints. Investigating humanoid ...

Humans have been making music for millennia, yet the processes of developing existent musical instruments and even inventing new ones are ongoing as technology advances and tastes change. Many recent developments have been ...

The purpose of this paper is to present an example of appropriate technology (AT) education in a university setting, and make recommendations for using open source technology to aid AT education (OSAT). This paper presents ...

The deliberate structuring of bimetallic nanoparticles has useful applications in both fuel cell applications and biomedical research. This thesis studies the replacement reaction between platinum ions and silver nanoparticles, ...

This project is a continuation in the investigation of ways in which cork can be incorporated into composite material for boats and kayaks without significant performance losses. Fiberglass lay-ups (cloth, mat, and epoxy) ...

New experiments were developed for the freshmen seminar Physics of Energy. The class covers electricity generation and dissipation, and provides experience in analysis and design of electrical and mechanical engineering ...

This study asses the kinematic theory of fixed separation in unsteady, two-dimensional flows that has been proposed by Haller (2004). Experimental investigations were conducted that utilized the rotor-oscillator flow to ...

As human interaction with digital displays becomes an indispensable part of everyday life, user Interface (UI) design is becoming an increasingly important field. There is a great demand in industry for tools to aid designers ...
