CAPACITIVE TACTILE SENSOR BASED ON DIELECTRIC OIL DISPLACEMENT OUT OF A PARYLENE DOME INTO SURROUNDING CHANNELS

Capacitive Tactile Sensor Based on Dielectric Oil Displacement out of a Parylene Dome into Surrounding Channels

We propose a concept of a flexible sensor array using a novel capacitive force sensor not having a vulnerable electrode on the force applied site.It has a polymer domed structure inside which silicone oil is contained.When the EZEE RECOVERY TEA force is applied, the oil is pushed into the surrounding thin channels, where the change in capacitance d

An Overview of the Adverse Impacts of Old Combs on Honeybee Colonies and Recommended Beekeeping Management Strategies

The honeybee comb serves as the Blow Dryers primary site for all essential colony activities, and its structural and functional integrity plays a crucial role in colony development.As combs age through successive brood-rearing cycles, their physicochemical properties undergo significant changes, which can negatively affect colony health and product

Use of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model for a new configuration of circular primary settling tank

Appropriately used, computational fluid dynamics models are powerful tools to design and optimize primary settling tanks (PSTs).This paper uses a Fluent-based 3D model to identify the possible causes for underperformance of the circular PSTs at the Cali waste-water treatment plant, Colombia, and to propose design modifications to improve performanc

Genome sequences of human cytomegalovirus strain TB40/E variants propagated in fibroblasts and epithelial cells

Abstract The advent of whole genome sequencing has revealed that common laboratory strains of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) have major genetic deficiencies resulting from serial passage in fibroblasts.In Multimineral Formulas particular, tropism for epithelial and endothelial cells is lost due to mutations disrupting genes UL128, UL130, or UL131A, w
