In neurosurgery, soft robots have the potential to introduce significant benefits over traditional metal tools for their ability to safely interact with delicate tissues. In this paper, we introduce a proof-of-concept soft, capacitive origami sensing module (OSM) that can measure forces during neurosurgical retraction. Using origami-inspired design and fabrication principles, the OSM is easily folded and integrated within a soft robotic retractor that interacts with brain tissue to generate a surgical workspace upon actuation. We demonstrate the individual OSM signal response to forces and folding. We further characterize the OSM response within a fully-assembled soft robotic retractor to both folding and the application of forces over 0-5 N showing a 0.38 N average prediction error and resolution of 0.25 N. The sensing capability of the retractor is validated on an in-vitro model to demonstrate prediction errors of 0.06 N and the proposed operation during neurosurgery.
We numerically compare the null quality for STED microscopy generated by Laguerre-Gaussian beams with orbital angular momentum and donut beams generated by incoherent addition of orthogonal Hermite Gaussian beams when...

Interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) using Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets (PMs) dominate in applications, like in electric vehicles (EVs), which require high torque density, high power density, and high efficiency while maintaining reasonable cost and manufacturability. However, extraordinary price volatility of rare-earth (RE) elements in NdFeB PMs has led to an effort to develop low cost, RE-free PMs that outperform ferrites (the best existing alternative). Because of its high coercivity (Hc) at high temperatures and relatively low cost with reduced price volatility, manganese bismuth (MnBi) based PMs have attracted attention despite a remanent flux density (B r ) closer to those of ferrites. Lower Br reduces short circuit current thus reducing constant power speed ratio (CPSR) when directly replacing NdFeB in reference designs with MnBi. This paper reviews why CPSR lowers when doing so but then shows that redesigning the rotor using a segmented PM-assisted synchronous reluctance motor (PMASynRM) topology with MnBi can improve CPSR.
