Abstract:
Presented herein are an actuation system and a flapping wing micro aerial vehicle system. In one embodiment, for energy efficiency and to achieve a resonant system, the flapping wing is directly driven using conventional DC motors coupled with torsion springs. Using a transmission gear, the motor is designed to operating at an efficient speed, but generates an overall reciprocal motion to the wing. Closed loop control is applied to achieve tracking of the desired wing motion kinematics, the frequency of which is tuned to match the resonant frequency of the system. We also show that wing kinematic control can be achieved by tracking trajectories with different amplitude and bias, therefore creating flight control forces and torques.

Abstract:
Methods for the detection and screening of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) patients and for the monitoring of EAC treatment using a panel or panels of small molecule metabolite biomarkers are disclosed. In other aspects, methods for detection and screening for the progression of high-risk conditions (BE and HGD) to EAC and to monitoring treatment using a panel or panels of small molecule metabolite biomarkers are disclosed. The biomarkers are sensitive and specific for the detection of EAC, and can also be used to classify Barrett's esophagus (BE) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD), which are widely regarded as precursors of EAC.
