  Development of an Active Catheter Mechanism using IPMC for in vivo Inspection

  By Dillip Kumar Biswal, Dibakar Bandopadhya, Santosha Kumar Dwivedy

  Abstract: An active catheter mechanism designed and developed for body parts (interiors, oral) inspection using active polymeric actuator i.e. ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC). The first step is achieved by fabricating the low cost silver (Ag) electrode IPMC following the chemical decomposition method. When a voltage is applied, the catheter yields a transverse movement; at the same time can exhibit forward and backward motion enables it to inspect wide range of …

  Wideband Microstrip Slot Antenna Using Shape Blending Algorithm

  By Chaitanya Durbhakula, Srilakshmi Aouthu, E. Sreenivasa Rao, Bandi Manasa, Vemula Manisha, Manikya Krishna

  Abstract: For the effective wireless communication over long distances, the antennas with wideband operation and narrow beam widths are the requirements for the evolving modern mobile devices. This paper presents the design and analysis of the wideband patch antenna with slot using shape blending algorithm. The major advantage of this algorithm is to optimize the shape of the radiating element by applying Heaviside function to improve the performance characteristics of the …
