Abstract: Experiments with scalatympani (ST) phantoms are used to evaluate new electrode arrays and cochlearimplant insertion techniques. To date, phantoms have not accounted for clinical orientations and geometric differences between ...

Abstract: This work examines a passive perching mechanism that enables a rotorcraft to grip branchlike perches and resist external wind disturbance using only the weight of the rotorcraft to maintain the grip. We provide an analysis ...

Abstract: An Omnimagnet is an electromagnetic device that enables remote magnetic manipulation of devices such as medical implants and microrobots. It is composed of three orthogonal nested solenoids with a ferromagnetic core at the ...
