Kinematic morphology of space systems
… considers the robustness to faults of mechanical kinematic systems typical of the type applied to the locomotion sub-systems of planetary exploration vehicles. It is argued that, whereas the electronic, software and control methodologies for such kinematic systems have received extensive …

Kinematic fitting of detached vertices
… decays, X- → pi- and &Lgr; → ppi -. A kinematic fitting routine was developed to reconstruct the detached vertices of these decays, where confidence level cuts on the fits are used to remove background events. Prior to fitting these decays, the exclusive reaction gammaD→ pppi- was …

Kinematic implications of football structures
Folding prior to thrust-sheet emplacement is proposed to explain presence of overturned synclines in the footwalls of many thrust-faults in the Appalachian foreland fold- and thrust-belt of southwest Virginia. Investigation of relations in the footwalls of the Saltville and St. Clair thrust-sheets …

Kinematic Analysis of Tensegrity Structures
… This work considers tensegrity structures from a kinematic viewpoint. The kinematic approach leads to a better understanding of the conditions under which tensegrity structures exist in the stable positions. The primary understanding that comes from this kinematic analysis is that stable positions …

Kinematic Calibration of Parallel Kinematic Machines on the Example of the Hexapod of Simple Design
The aim of using parallel kinematic motion systems as an alternative of conventional machine tools for precision machining has raised the demands made on the accuracy of identification of the geometric parameters that are necessary for the kinematic transformation of the motion variables. The …

Kinematic evaluation of end effector design
The complex, many degree-of-freedom end effectors at the leading edge of technology would be unusable in the sea bottom research environment. Simpler designs are required to provide adequate reliability for subsea use. This work examines selection of end effector designs to achieve optimum grasping …

Kinematic Demands of Nucleus Arthroplasty Technology
… the altered spine condition through a prescribed kinematic path relative to the intact spine condition. The closer the loading mechanics of the altered spine are to the intact spine condition, the better the likelihood the device will restore the native properties. The objective of this research …

A kinematic analysis of sign language
… context versus in isolation and identifying kinematic sign markers. To date, there has been little study of continuous signing kinematics; it was previously unknown if kinematic markers existed. Kinematic data were collected from a proficient signer with electromagnetic Flock of Birds sensors …

Interactive Bayesian identification of kinematic mechanisms
This thesis addresses the problem of identifying mechanisms based on data gathered from a robot's interaction with them. We present a decision-theoretic formulation of this problem, using Bayesian filtering techniques to maintain a distributional estimate of the mechanism type and parameters. We …

Kinematic synthesis of a well service machine
Blowout preventers are used in the oil well industry to prevent accidental oil fires, and guide valves are assembled atop the preventers. The current solution is to use cranes, as this is time-consuming and expensive, a solution using an appropriate four-bar mechanism for this purpose was …

Kinematic Modeling of Asymmetric Vocal Fold Vibration
… manner. The approach was to use a computational kinematic model of vocal fold vibration that allows for differential left/right control of parameters such as vocal fold adduction, medial surface bulging, vibratory nodal point, phase, amplitude of vibration, and fundamental frequency. The …

A kinematic interpretation of the construction process
… framework for this investigation was taken from "Kinematic Geometry" a branch of Dynamics generally associated with machine design. We draw from it only its most elemental concepts, these provide the looking glass, the interpretation. The main body consists of three parts. The first two follow the …
