Balance and lower limb strength deficits are associated with a high incidence of falls in older adults. This study investigated the association between balance control during and after stair descent onto a compliant surface and lower limb strength. Thirty-five women and 14 men participated in this ...
6d. The plant sensors wearable is finally placed on the outer surface of the PlantCopter as depicted in Fig. 6e, where the compact system is integrated from within the hollow base, in such a way to provide the necessary balance and symmetrical weight for the center of mass (Fig. 6f)....
Compliant micromechanisms (CMMs) acquire mobility from the deflection of elastic members and have been proven to be robust by millions of silicon MEMS devices. However, the limited deflection of silicon impedes the realization of more sophisticated CMMs,
Methods for compliant tolerance analysis have been introduced to capture the balance of these two effects. A first category of methods is based on the direct Monte Carlo (DMC) approach. A first FEM model of the parts before joining is used to calculate the clamping forces from randomly ...
In total, 15 stringers have been used on each side of the wing: 8 on the upper surface and 7 on the lower surface. The stringers are manufactured separately and bonded to the zigzag mid-section of the ribs. Latex sheet with 1 mm is used to cover the wing and maintain its ...
Finally, while we can understand the spatial distribution of\Delta \mathrm {TAWSS}and\Delta \mathrm {OSI}based on the surface plots, they are unable to show the locality of the highest differences between static and dynamic simulations with respect to the range of\mathrm {TAWSS}and\mathrm {...
Some cell types, such as endothelial cells, express blood group AB antigens on their surface [74]. High isoagglutinin titers in the culture medium may have effects on endothelial cells in the case of ABO blood group incompatibility. Therefore, the testing of isoagglutinin titers as an ...
Underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are linked to the surface through a tether that is usually controlled by a human operator. The length of the tether being deployed in the water in real time is a critical determinant of the success of the miss
Non-limiting examples of active flow restrictors are pinch valves, gate valves and variable orifice valves. The term “flow stream” refers to fluid moving along a flow path. The term “fluid balance control pump” refers to where a control pump is used to adjust the concentration or amount...
A system to hydrostatically augment the thrust load capacity of a bilateral compliant foil hydrodynamic fluid film thrust bearing for a turbomachine is disclosed. A plurality of channels and fixed ori
