Velcro, the most typical hook-loop interlocker, often suffers from undesirable deformation, breaking, and noise because of the structure of the hook. Inspired by the arrester system of dragonfly, a new mechanical interlocker with a nylon pestle instead of the traditional hook is developed. The pestle-loop mechanical…

Among the earliest applications of health technologies to a safety program was the development of blood alcohol content (BAC) tests for use in impaired-driving enforcement. This led to the development of miniature, highly accurate devices that officers could carry in their pockets. A natural extension of this…

'Stefano Tonetta'] Abstract. In the railway domain, an electronic interlocking is a computerised system that controls the railway signalling components (e.g. switches or signals) in order to allow a safe operation of the train traffic. Interlockings are controlled by a software logic that relies on a generic software…

'Louis‐Marie Traonouez' 'Axel Legay'] Abstract—1 In the railway domain, an interlocking is the system ensuring safe train traffic inside a station by controlling its active elements such as the signals or points. Modern interlockings are configured using particular data, called application data, reflecting the track…

During meiosis, unrelated chromosomes frequently become interlocked, and these structures must be removed for complete synapsis and normal chromosome segregation. Martinez-Garcia et al. show that the active removal of interlocks requires topoisomerase II and chromosome movement.

parameterized model checking Authors: ['Alessandro Cimatti' 'Alberto Griggio' 'Gianluca Redondi'] Interlocking logics are at the core of critical systems controlling the traffic within stations. In this paper, we consider a generic interlocking logic, which can be instantiated to control a wide class of stations. We…

'Emmanouil Tzimtzimis' 'Dimitrios Tzetzis' 'Nikhil Kamboj'] While early studies on macroscopic self-assembly peaked in the late 20th century, recent research continues to explore and expand the field’s potential through innovative materials and external control strategies. To harness this potential, a unit cell was…

An interlocking assembly is an assembly in which component parts are connected purely through their geometric arrangement, without relying on external connectors such as glue and nails. Such assemblies have been widely used in a variety of real-world applications due to their structural stability. The problem of…

Mechanically chelating ligands have untapped potential for the engineering of metal ion properties by providing reliable control of the number, nature and geometry of donor atoms, akin to how a protein cavity controls the properties of bound metal ions. Here we demonstrate this principle in the context of Co II -based…

Mechanical stereochemistry arises when the interlocking of stereochemically trivial covalent subcomponents results in a stereochemical complex object. Although this general concept was identified in 1961, the stereochemical description of these molecules is still under development, with new mechanical stereoisomers…
