Inflatable systems have been attracting attention in the field of interaction design. Conventional tabletop-sized pneumatic tend to be complex because they require bulky and noisy equipment. Therefore, several liquid-to-gas phase change actuators that use vaporization proposed. But these problems with controllability, reusability, reconfigurability. In this study, we propose InflatableMod, novel inflatable modules based on efficient control actuators. These are designed a compact circuit has...
Abstract Soft fluidic systems can be a versatile tool to design human–machine interfaces such as hydraulic actuators, liquid displays, and thermal haptics. Yet the bulkiness, noise, rigidity of pumps valves required for fluid circulation prevent their use in flexible portable devices. This study introduces an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) driven pump with resilience against dielectric breakdown. Previous EHD pumps, despite excellent features quietness high power density, suffer from breakdowns...
In recent years, actuators that handle fluids such as gases and liquids have been attracting attention for their applications in soft robots shape-changing interfaces. the field of HCI, there various inflatable prototyping tools utilize air control, however, very few liquid control developed. this study, we propose HydroMod, new constructive modules can easily generate flow programmatically flow, with aim lowering barrier to entry liquids. HydroMod consists palm-sized small modules, which...
In this paper, we focus on water droplets and propose a novel method to control the movement of surfaces such as paper. Most droplet methods based principle electrowetting require high density electrodes complex circuitry, there are restrictions size droplet. contrast, our involves printing line-shaped paper-like sheet substrate moving between these lines. The need not be densely arranged; they can spaced several centimeters apart move them. This only greatly reduces number simplifies...
Physical interfaces that change appearance by controlling transparency have attracted attention for wide applicability. However, many existing methods are limited to planar objects, and it is difficult control in three-dimensional objects continuously. In this study, we propose a novel method the of utilizing mechanical emulsification phenomenon liquid. This approach fill object with two transparent liquids liquid-liquid phase separated agitate inside make them cloudy their transparency. By...
see-saw is a kinetic installation unfolding silently, driven by the behavior of liquid flowing inside objects. A group these objects, shaped like seesaws, are aligned. By changing position center gravity inside, each alters its inclination dynamically. The realized using Electrohydrodynamics (EHD) phenomenon. We generate movements that appear to depart from conventional physics electrically manipulating an invisible driving force move against gravity. This embodies natural and smooth...
Buddhist Chaplains chanting sutras after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 often encountered survivors who felt that hearing sutra itself ameliorated their bereavement grief. This research is first experimental examination of effects on listeners' stress. Prior demonstrates sudden pet loss causes stress students and physiological can be noninvasively measured by salivary alpha-amylase. We asked Japanese college to raise goldfish until they developed an attachment them, then confiscated...
Seamlessly fusing fashion and functionality can redefine wearable technology enhance the quality of life. We propose a pocketable smart electrohydrodynamic pump (PSEP) with self-sensing capability for thermal controls. Overcoming constraints traditional liquid-cooled wearables, PSEP dimensions 10 × 2 1.05 cm weight g is sufficiently compact to fit into shirt pocket, providing stylish unobtrusive control. Silent operation coupled unique ability monitor flow rate ensures system reliability...
Placenta accreta carries an increased risk of maternal morbidity and mortality (1), but prenatal diagnosis may be difficult. We describe here a case placenta without previa diagnosed before delivery succeeded in preservation the uterus by uterine artery embolization (UAE). A 34-year-old woman was referred to our hospital at 26 weeks gestation because intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) with placental abnormality. She had one previous normal term spontaneous abortion. On gray scale...
Recent studies have presented various methods for changing the color of objects using thermochromic materials. However, many face challenges related to heat sources, leading limitations in object shape, size, and speed change. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic rapid color-changing method designed curved 3D-printed surfaces. We explored use Carbo e-Therm, carbon-based electrically-conductive heating paint, as means joule developed design fabrication change that integrates specific...

Assessment of kidney biopsies provides crucial information for diagnosis and disease activity, as well prognostic value. Kidney-biopsy specimens occasionally contain veno-muscular complex (VMC), which consists muscle tissues around the venous system in corticomedullary region. However, role VMC clinical significance variants are poorly understood. In present study, we investigated values variants.Retrospective cohort study.Among 808 patients who underwent a biopsy from 2011 to 2019, 246...
