Efficient safeguarding of the security of interconnected devices, which are often resource-constrained, can be achieved through collective remote attestation schemes. However, in existing schemes, the attestation keys are independent of the device co...
The technology of hardware-in-the-loop simulations (HILS) plays an important role in the design of complex systems, for example, the structural health monitoring (SHM) of aircrafts. Due to the high performance of personal computers, HILS can provide...
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have emerged as promising materials for self-centering seismic applications due to their unique properties of superelasticity and shape memory effect. This review article examines recent advancements in the use of SMAs for...
This review focuses on electroencephalogram (EEG) acquisition and feedback technology and its core elements, including the composition and principles of the acquisition devices, a wide range of applications, and commonly used EEG signal classificatio...
With a novel Freeze Foaming method, it is possible to manufacture porous cellular components whose structure and composition also enables them for application as artificial bones, among others. To tune the foam properties to our needs, we have to und...
Infrared thermography (IRT) is a full-field, contactless technique that has been widely used for nondestructive evaluation of structural materials due to many advantages. One of the major limitations of IRT is the fuzzy edge and low contrast in the i...
Flexible electronics have sparked significant interest in the development of electrically conductive polymer-based composite materials. While efforts are being made to fabricate these composites through laser integration techniques, a versatile metho...
Varistors processed from mixtures of certain metal oxides (as additives to the main component, zinc oxide, ZnO), called MOVs, represent the devices most used for overvoltage protection and are integrated into the construction of high-performance surg...
In regenerative medicine, an engineered tissue is a composition of a sample of cells cultured on a spatially controlled medical device, called a biological scaffold (or just a bioscaffold). These devices are made of tissue-equivalent materials and re...
