Design and prototype clockwork mechanism to actuate droplets along an arbituary path by Tan, Jerome Jun Ying

“…A clockwork mechanism can keep time accurately and this will effectively provide a non-electrical solution for microfluidic work. By coupling the regular impulse provided by the clockwork mechanism to a microfluidic device or magnet, the movement of water droplets can be controlled with regular and accurate intervals without the need for an electrical supply. …”

Understanding the motives and intention of blood donation during the pandemic. by Yusof, Junaidah, Ab Rahim, Sakinah, Mohd. Noor, Sabariah, Panatik, Siti Aisyah, Wan Husin, Wan Nurul Izza, Bungsu, Mohd. Sharial

“…INTRODUCTION: In every country, an adequate and reliable blood supply can be assured by a stable base of regular, voluntary, and unpaid blood donors. However, with the strike of COVID-19 around the world, fewer donors have come forward to donate blood since the government's movement control order. …”

Overmodulation of constant-switching-frequency-based DTC for reluctance synchronous motors incorporating field-weakening operation by Zhang, Xinan, Foo, Gilbert Hock Beng

“…To overcome the problems of high torque ripples and variable switching frequency experienced by conventional direct torque control (DTC), constant-switching-frequency-based torque regulator is employed. By combining the proposed overmodulation scheme with this torque regulator, the dynamic torque response and constant power speed range of RSM drives are improved. …”
