However, the existing micropump is separated into flow part and pump part. The miniaturization of device is difficult, since the designing of flow part is too complex.

By adding AC voltage to the PZTs, the PZTs vibrates, and the vibration of PZT is transmitted to the liquid in the hollow tube. Therefore, tube type micropump can transmit liquid. However, flow rate of the tube type micropump is extremely few. Thus, it is necessary to improve fluid performance by increasing deformation amount of PZT actuators. The increasing deformation amount of PZT by adding rectangle trenches is confirmed under FEM analysis. However, according to Static piezoelectric analysis, the stress concentration occurs at the trench part. Therefore, we search for the optimum trench shape which can scatter the stresses while maintain the deformation amount of PZT by static piezoelectric analysis. We focused on (a) existing rectangle trench, (b) trapezoid trench, (c) curvature trench and they were analyzed. As a result, the reduction of equivalent stress is confirmed by changing trench shape from rectangle to other trench shape.

Most of biped walking control methods based on point-contact assume that foot-contact is completely inelastic collision and it occurs for a moment. Thus, it is difficult to realize biped walking when the assumptions are not satisfied. In order to solve this problem, we propose a three-dimensional biped walking control using a double support phase based on Passive Dynamic Autonomous Control (PDAC) that is one of point-contact methods. By use of the double support phase, the robot dynamics converges to stable orbit even if a disturbance happens at a foot-contact. Also, this paper introduces an adaptation control method of the PDAC constants that facilitates stabilization. Finally, the proposed biped walking algorithm is verified by numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":286457,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Micro-NanoMechatronics and Human Science","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128063954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fingerprint image from paper is very poor quality image and sometimes it is complex with fabric background. Firstly, a center point area of the fingerprint is detected and keeping the Core Point as center point, the image of size w x w is cropped. Gabor filtering is applied for fingerprint enhancement over the orientation image. Finally, the texture features are extracted by analyzing the fingerprint with Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Euclidean distance metric is used as similarity measure.
