Traveling Wave Actuators for Flow Control
A piezoelectric actuator surface that generates traveling waves for active flow control has been developed and can be used to remove, reduce, or control flow separation. Background: Flow separation is typically associated with significant energy loss in engineering applications. For example, flow separation decreases lift and increases drag...

Accelerating Orthodontic Treatment Using Mechanical Vibrations Through Piezoelectric Actuators
An intra-oral vibrating device with improved patient comfort is capable of shortening the duration and increasing the effectiveness of the orthodontic treatment. Background: Traditional braces and retainers (”fixed orthodontics”) apply a constant and stagnant force and require an extended period of 2-3 years to move teeth into the...
