This work investigated the coupling behavior of the scattered-bend loss in displacement sensor during the bending of the fiber by using a multimode polymer optical fiber (POF). To utilize the scattered-bend effect for displacement measurement, a side coupling technique can be used by twisting a pair of POF fibers and bent the structure into a…

Most anthropomorphic robotic hands use a lot of actuators to imitate the number of joints and the movement of the human hand. As a result, the forearm of the robot hand has a large size for the installation of all actuators. This robot hand is designed to reduce the number of actuators, but also retain…

Dust is ubiquitous in our daily environment—outdoor and indoor. In modern times, people often spend the majority of their time at home, in offices, at work or in schools. Suspended particles such as tiny crumbs up to long fibers generate indoor dust deposits. Inhouse sources are the interior releasing abraded fibers from carpets, bedding and…

Network Analyzer is equipment widely used for the execution of radio frequency application scattering parameters. Throughout absolute reading the scattering parameter measured. An absolute reading does not include error, drift, offset, linearity, resolution, coefficient of sensitivity and several other variables that will contribute to the measured measurement dispersion. Type A evaluations of measurement uncertainty clarified…

Nowadays, compliant micro-motion stages offer high positioning accuracy and repeatability. When assembled with conventional stages, the resulting dual-range positioning systems allow for nanometer scale accuracy within a centimeter scale working area. However, such systems invoke a high cost and large footprint. This paper presents a low-cost, compact compliant XY micro-motion stage where dual-range manipulation has…
