Abstract: We present the first multilayer, foldable chipless RFID tag design that works in the high frequency (HF) range. To reach such low resonant frequencies (in the order of 10 MHz) a parallel ...

Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to ...

Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than deal with the poor dielectric properties of air, some high-end variable ...

From ancient compasses to modern smartphones, magnetometers have quietly shaped how we sense and navigate the world. Let us explore the fundamentals behind these field-detecting devices. Magnetic ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is the accurate and efficient analysis of the electromagnetic scattering by an arbitrary oriented perfectly conducting rectangular plate entirely buried in a lossy half ...

THE higher overtones of vibrating plates sometimes combine when it so happens that the periods of two or more of them are very nearly equal. This phenomenon, which is of academic rather than of ...

Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a class of heuristic algorithms proposed to solve optimization problems. The idea was inspired by the behavior of real ants, related to their ability to find the ...
