Abstract:
In a free-piston engine generator (FPEG), the power of the engine can be directly regenerated by linear generators without a crank. The mover motion of this system is interrelated with engine and power generation efficiencies due to the direct connection between the mover of the generator and the piston of the engine. The generator should be designed to improve the overall energy conversion efficiency. The dimensions and mass of the mover limit its operating stroke and drive frequency. Herein, we propose a method for designing linear generators and constructing FPEG systems, considering the mo

AbstractUsing a simple economic model, this article illustrates the greatly diverging interests and preferences of developed and developing countries with regards to capital mobility. Theoretically, developed countries' gain from free capital mobility likely comes at the expense of risk and loss for developing countries due to the latter's financial vulnerability. It is also found that it does not pay for a developed country to push its developing counterparts into prematurely liberalising their capital markets because this type of impatience reduces the developed country's own first-mover adv

Abstract:
Recent investigations demonstrate that perspective sensory loss correlates with early Alzheimer Disease (AD).Our previous studymeasured this through stereopsis. Based on cross-eyed stereography, a computer generates images at a given distance from a monitor. Sensory perspective is measured as the difference between a subject’s sense and a given distance. Experiments conducted for non-AD and AD subjects showed different, statistically significant results. The measurement we propose for sensory perspective without the use of 3D glasses eliminates the need for LCD shutter glasses and provides muc

Abstract:
In this paper a new method is presented for solving the inverse kinematics of free-floating space manipulators. The idea behind the method is to move the space manipulator along a path with minimum dynamic disturbance. The method is proposed to use the manipulator Jacobian instead of the generalized Jacobian of the spacecraft-manipulator system. This is based on the simple fact that, if the space manipulator moves along the so-called Zero Disturbance Path (ZDP), the spacecraft is immovable. As a result, the space manipulator can in this case be treated as a terrestrial fixed-based manipulator.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a new type of a magnetic actuator that operates on a resonance energy of a mass-spring model by using an electromagnetic force. The magnetic actuator is moved by the difference in an inertia force during one period of vibration. Experimental result demonstrates that a horizontal speed of the magnetic actuator was 7.4 mm/s with load mass of 50 g. We considered a method of a cable-free movement of the actuator by using two iron rails and four permanent magnets. The magnetic actuator is able to move stably a ceiling plane and a wall plane. This actuator is able to move on the

Abstract:
People with neuromuscular diseases have very limited muscle force. Many of them rely on mobile arm supports to move their arms. Most of these supports incorporate gravity balancers, i.e., spring-loaded mechanisms that achieve a constant total potential energy, thus eliminating any preferred position. The springs and the mechanism topology and dimensions are designed to exactly or approximately balance the weight of the user’s arm. Quasistatically, the mechanism, once statically balanced, can thus be moved virtually without operating energy. In case of change of effective arm weight, e.g., due

Abstract:
Deformation and elastic stress characteristics are considered for a thin elastic film on a rigid substrate when loaded by a rigid cylindrical indentor in conjunction with different amounts of friction. Friction tends to move the point of maximum shear stress from below the loaded surface into this surface, particularly when the elastic film is thin relative to the width of contact. Increased friction also increases the magnitude of the horizontal tensile stress (σx) in the free top surface and moves it closer to the trailing edge of the indentor. Friction has a rather negligible influence on t

Abstract:
Construction work on steep slopes is difficult and dangerous, but it is also difficult to automate work at such type sites. One reason is that construction sometimes calls for movement across a ""Free Frame"" - a structure built to keep a slope from collapsing - and because of the ups and downs of the natural slope, it is difficult to design a purposeful simple mechanism to move on this frame. We propose a sensor-based quadruped walking robot that moves on the slope without damage to the surface of the frame, and developed a TITAN VII prototype robot. We detail the techniques required by this

Abstract:
The question of whether the subject stays in its thematic position within the VP or moves to Spec, TP is difficult to answer with respect to free word order languages such as Japanese because the surface constituent orders in these languages do not necessarily provide sufficient information to determine syntactic positions. In this article, we present psycholinguistic evidence for the theoretical hypothesis that, in Japanese, the subject must move to Spec, TP in sentences with the subject-objectverb word order, but may stay within the VP in sentences with the object-subject-verb word order.

Abstract:
The article deals with the flow in a complex area. The composition of this region consists of a porous medium through the pores of which the liquid moves and a zone without a porous framework (free zone). The flow is modeled using an interpenetrating heterogeneous model. In the one-dimensional case, an analytical solution is obtained. This solution is compared with the solution learned by the move node method. An analysis is made with experimental data with a Brinkman layer. A numerical solution of a two-dimensional problem is also obtained.

Abstract:
Offshore production wells placed through permafrost are subjected to lateral soil forces when production of hot oil thaws the surrounding permafrost. Previous work completed indicates lateral soil movements in the Canadian Beaufort Sea to be large enough to cause severe bending strains in the well casing if the well casing moves with the soil. A lateral pile program was utilized to determine the bending strains induced in the well casing subjected to a free-field displacement of the thawed permafrost soil. Parametric studies were undertaken to determine the effect of varying soil properties an

AbstractModern economic globalization would be impossible without our ability to move billions of tonnes of raw materials and finished goods among the continents and to fly at speeds approaching the speed of sound. These realities were made possible by the interaction of economic and technical factors. Much has been written about their organizational and political underpinnings (ranging from the role of multinational corporations to the history of free trade agreements), but much less on the history of the two prime movers that made these realities possible.
