    Abstract: An electrostatic chuck includes: a dielectric substrate on which at least one first gas hole is formed; a base plate on which at least one second gas hole is formed; and a joining layer which is provided between the dielectric substrate and the base plate and which is formed of an insulating material. A first opening being an end of the at least one first gas hole is formed on a surface of the dielectric substrate. A second opening being an end of the at least one second gas hole is formed at a position which differs from the at least one first opening on a surface of the base plate. A communication groove is formed on the surface of the base plate.

    Abstract: A microstructured device is disclosed utilizing Coulomb field modification of surface energy and electroadhesion to localize a device surface or to levitate a device surface with respect to a target surface. The surface energy modification can be permanent or reversible depending on whether the charge is externally delivered to the device or derived on the device galvanically. The microstructure aspect of the device induces various hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions with the target surface. The Coulomb field can be used to enhance or decrease the hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions. In combination, the disclosed electro-microstructured device provides for localizing implants in a mammalian body, and additionally means for controlling cell interaction with the implant.

    Abstract: A power tool that includes a housing, a motor, an end effector, an electrostatic clutch assembly, and a control circuit is provided. In a first mode of operation, the control circuit causes a first voltage to be applied to a first electrode and a different second voltage to be applied to a second electrode, generating a first attractive force between the first and second electrodes, which causes an output member to rotate together with an input member when a torque on the output member is less than or equal to a first threshold value and which causes the output member to rotationally slip relative to the input member when the torque on the output member exceeds the first threshold value, interrupting torque transmission from the input member to the output member.

    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include electroadhesion devices for securing smartphones and other consumer devices to target surfaces. In various embodiments, the electroadhesion device may include a digital switch for adjusting the output voltage generated by a voltage converter. The digital switch may enable safe operation of the electroadhesion device by ensuring the output voltage generated by the voltage converter is compatible with the target surface. To determine a compatible output voltage, the electroadhesion device may include one or more sensors that may measure one or more characteristics of the target surface including conductivity, porosity, hardness, smoothness, and the like.
