Nonplanar Nanofabrication via Interface Engineering
… designs. We achieve this by engineering interface forces through a patterned molecular monolayer to enable controlled delamination of a deposited thin-film in predetermined locations. This allows us to form nonplanar structures with thicknesses < 10 nm and nanogaps reaching < 10 nm – …

Manipulation of flexible structural modules by space robots during LSS construction
… of the robots are assumed to be very compliant. Interface forces between robots and flexible structures induce undesirable vibration. The approach developed here is to plan and control the forces that robots apply to the flexible structures so that they maneuver the module precisely while …

CAD enabling smart handtools
… detail and at any arbitary scale. However, our interface to CAD is still largely through traditional avenues: screen, keyboard and pointing devices. While these interfaces function for their intended purposes: text entry, pointing, browsing, etc, they are not designed for the purpose of …

The Effects of Ice Hockey Goaltender Leg Pads on Safety and Performance
… to the goaltender’s body, and quantifying interface forces between the goaltender and their equipment to understand the biomechanical interactions. A new kinematic marker set and a novel interface force research protocol were developed in Chapters 2 and 4, respectively. Chapter 2 identified …

Biomechanical comparison of a rigid and dynamic seating system for children with special needs
… experience strong extensor spasms, high muscular forces exerted during the episode may lead to high contact forces between the child and the wheelchair. The forces may be physically powerful enough to cause pain and injury to the child, and can damage or break components of the wheelchair. Dynamic …
