The Design, Manufacture, and Testing of a Novel Adhesion System for a Climbing Vehicle
… vacuum is transmitted through moving, perforated treads. Implementing the adhesion/drive system involved a broad range of design challenges, including: developing reliable sealing of sliding and static interfaces, understanding the frictional interactions between the drive treads and various …

A Study of Anti-Stratfordian Methods
… after almost three hundred pages in which he treads lightly but firmly on the toes and sensibilities of those who uphold Shakespeare as the author of the plays, he says: |"It may, no doubt, be easier to believe what one wishes to believe; but there are some things which, with all the good will …

A fast concurrent and resizable Robin Hood hash table
… hash table engineered for high performance. Bolt treads an intricate balance between an atomic fast path and a locking slow path to facilitate concurrency. It uses a novel scheme to interleave the two without compromising correctness in the concurrent setting. It maintains the low expected probe …

Backcountry Trails Near Stream Corridors: An Ecological Approach To Design
… drainage features have incised or eroded trail treads. Likewise, many trail segments without drainage features located along flat adjacent landforms have wet soil and water on trail impacts. Overall results show that as use amount or type increase there is a parallel in trail and environmental …

Wheel design optimization for locomotion in granular beds using resistive force theory
… include a four-spoke design, consisting of four treads that have a hinge halfway down their length set to a specific angle, and a "superball" design, consisting of different solid shapes defined by the "superball" equation. The average velocity and power were found for each case to find an …

Physical experimentation and actuated wheel design for granular locomotion using Resistive Force Theory
… media. Four-spoke wheel designs, made of four treads with a hinge halfway down each tread set to a prescribed angle 0, and cylindrical wheels were used to validate a scaling law determined from RFT. The 3D printed wheels were attached to an experimental test rig that consisted of a motor fixed …

Potential architecture
… Rather than impotently brooding, this project treads stubbornly towards a hopeful function for the architect as an agent of social injustice - even if that requires thinking through new temporalities of design. If the influx of global capital Into New York City property cannot be stopped …

Algorithms for large-scale personalization
… - the Data-Driven Prophet Model - that treads the line between stochastic and adversarial modeling, and is amenable to the common situation where stochastic modeling is challenging, despite the availability of copious historical data. We propose a simple, scalable algorithm that is shown …
