“Clicking” compliant mechanism for flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle by Chin, Yao-Wei, Lau, Gih Keong

“…This paper presented a click mechanism, which is inspired by a Dipteran insect, for use in flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle. The clicking mechanism is integrated in a thorax-like compliant mechanism, which buckles and consequently produces a large wing stroke when driven by an electric motor. …”

Regulation and function of innate-like T cells by Hagel, JP

“…It is expressed by NK- and T-cell subsets, particularly by innate-like T cells such as MAIT and γδT cells. CD161-expressing T-cell subsets share a transcriptional and functional phenotype, including the ability to be activated by cytokines in a T-cell receptor-independent manner, similar to NK cells. …”
