These synthetic tiny-hair-like actuators are actuated via electrostatic force, and drive the micro-objects via disturbing the fluid field.
The first configuration is actuated using a piezoelectric stack embedded under the sensor base yielding a base-type actuation while the second is actuated via a piezoelectric ZnO layer deposited on the surface of the sensor.
Individual probe is pneumatically actuated via a computer control interface.
Each pinching element is mechanically actuated via an impact force, much like a snap bracelet.
The resonators are directly actuated via the inverse piezoelectric effect, and the response is measured using the direct piezoelectric effect.
The drive mode is actuated via the electrostatic force, and due to the angular rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis.
Yet the car's racing heritage is instantly apparent, thanks to its V-12 (up from 5.5 liters to 5.75, hence the name change from 550 Maranello to 575) and Formula 1-style gearbox; gearshifts are actuated via paddles that halo the wheel, and the clutch is fully automated.
Specifically, the 575 M gets a larger displacement V-12 (up from 5.5 liters to 5.75, hence the name change), plus the Formula 1 style gearbox (gearshifts are actuated via paddles that halo the wheel and the clutch is fully automated) from the 360 Modena, and in tandem this new transmission and engine make the front-engined car that much more muscular and sporting.
The e-cigarette (Vype ePen) used in this study is actuated via one of two surface buttons on the device body, high voltage (4.0 V two arrows pointing towards the mouthpiece) and low voltage (3.6 V one arrow pointing away from the mouthpiece).
By combining materials with optimal swelling responses, bilayer structures were triggered via changes in pH and IS to actuate into three dimensional (3D) structures.
This nanopositioner is actuated by piezoelectric actuators.
