Thermal controlled expansion actuator for valve applications. - In: Actuator 10, (2010), S. 947-950
In solar heat installations the by out gassing from the solar fluid emitted gases has to be discharged from the system in continuous periods to guarantee whose secure and efficient function. In line with this article the devel-opment of a novel expansion actuator for valve applications shall be illustrated, which allows a regular and complete stand - alone de - airing of solar heat installations. The special feature of this innovation is that the expansion actuator does not need an external power supply and that there is no need for control electronic and sensor systems.
Actuation of magnetic beads due to analogous position control by means of electromagnetic fields. - In: Actuator 10, (2010), S. 685-688
This paper refers to the positioning of magnetic beads independent from the arrangement of the electromagnets used. To demonstrate the off-axis positioning of magnetic beads such as ferrofluid droplets, ferrogels or ferroelastomers a basic assembly consisting of two electromagnets, a laser sensor and a FPGA is used. The controller is designed by means of a model of the plant which is described by nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Finally, the parameters of the control law are adjusted due to results of system identification and the controller itself is implemented on the FPGA. The latter actuates each electromagnet based on the derived control strategy whereat the dynamics behaviour of the positioning is characterised by a user-defined time constant. Experimental investigations confirm that the desired dynamic behaviour can be achieved.

Design of mobile robots that can move without wheels or legs is an important engineering and technological problem. Self-propelling mechanisms that consist of a body that has contact with a rough surface and internal masses are considered. Asymmetry in friction that is necessary for the robot to move can be provided in several ways. First, the robot can be equipped with specific contact devises that provide anisotropy for the coefficient of friction, i. e., the coefficient of robot can be covered with needles. Second, this asymmetry can be provided for istropic friction by changing the normal pressure of the robot on supporting surface. A number of mathematical models of such systems are presented in the paper.
