A strain sensor utilizes an ohmic-based contact switch to detect strain. The sensor can be incorporated into other structures, such as an artificial flapping wing, to detect strain and other parameters, including air flow disturbances. The sensors are fabricated using an additive manufacturing process, with a layer of gold or other conductive material applied for electrical conductivity and UV laser ablation for electrical isolation. The sensor design incorporates mechanical amplification, converting small strains into larger displacements that close contact pads, resulting in an ohmic switch activated at a specific strain threshold. Unlike traditional sensors, the switch provides a high or low state output directly without the need for additional amplification or post-processing. The device can detect disturbances in flapping wing cycles and obtain yaw rotation information, with potential applications in other aircraft for disturbance detection.

Abstract
A method of forming a microneedle array can include forming a sheet of material having a plurality of layers and micromilling the sheet of material to form a microneedle array. At least one of the plurality of layers can include a bioactive component, and the microneedle array can include a base portion and plurality of microneedles extending from the base portion.
Disclosed here are various techniques for improving the testing and training of datasets comprising sequences of skeletal representations performing various actions. The dataset can be denoised by applying various techniques to determine noisy frames within each sequence and eliminating the sequences from the dataset when the number of noisy frames in the sequence is too large. In addition, the dataset may be augmented by various data augmentation techniques to manipulate the skeletal representations, after denoising.
Disclosed herein is a method of reducing the complexity of a neural network using PRC-NPTN layers by applying a pruning technique to remove a subset of filters in the network based on the importance of individual filters to the accuracy of the network, which is determined by the frequency with which the response of the filter is activated.
Disclosed herein is a system and method implementing a battery avionics system for integrating battery monitoring, control, and management functions with an avionics system of an aircraft. The system uses a model implementing a battery pack digital twin, which is a continuous simulation of the operation of the battery pack within the aircraft, receives data regarding the battery pack generated by the digital twin model and provides optimized parameters to the battery avionics system. The system enables high precision, cell-level resolution control of the battery pack. The system estimates the state of charge, state of health, state of safety, and state of function of the cells and the battery pack as a whole and uses this information to manage the battery pack, given a particular flight profile of the aircraft.

METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT A DECISION FOR UPGRADING AND/OR DEPLOYING SOFTWARE ON MULTIPLE HETEROGENOUS DEVICES
A method for carrying out a decision for upgrading and/or deploying software on multiple heterogenous devices. The method includes: receiving a request to upgrade and/or deploy software on at least one of the devices; initiating a connection to the at least one of the devices; initiating a process for determining at least one capability of the at least one connected device for executing the software, the initiating being carried out via the connection, the process being initiated for being executed by the at least one connected device; receiving a result of the initiated process; and carrying out the decision for the upgrade and/or deployment of the software based on the received result.
