The scope of this paper is to propose a system for the automatic derivation of a human curved walking trajectory from the analysis provided by its synthetic vision module. The study context is a planar environment with still and sparse foothold locations. ...
A new method for the separation of forward and backward running waves in elastic conduits, with possible extension to the arterial system, has been developed. The mathematical model is based on the one-dimensional flow equations which allow the treatment o ...
Body accelerations during human walking are recorded by a portable measuring device. A new method for parameterising body accelerations is introduced. The parameters are presented to a Kohonen neural network classifier and the feasibility of identification ...
Discusses the use of physics-based models for animating clothes on synthetic actors in motion. In this approach, cloth pieces are first designed with polygonal panels in two dimensions, and are then seamed and attached to the actor's body in three dimensio ...
The effects of plasma deformability on the feedback stabilization of axisymmetric modes of tokamak plasmas are studied. It is seen that plasmas with strongly shaped cross-sections have unstable motion different from a rigid shift. Furthermore, the placemen ...
Addresses the problem of detecting collisions of very flexible objects, such as clothes, with almost rigid bodies, such as human bodies. In the authors' method, collision avoidance consists of creating a very thin force field around the obstacle surface to ...
T lymphocytes expressing variable cell surface antigen receptors recognize "processed" forms of antigen, presented on the surface of other cells by molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Naturally processed antigenic peptides can be repla ...
Presents a human walking model built from experimental data based on a wide range of normalized velocities. The model is structured on two levels. On the first level, global spatial and temporal characteristics are generated. On the second level, a set of ...
We show that in He II a counterflow without any local center-of-mass motion cannot be maintained, except for special symmetries of the flow field (e.g., plane axial or spherical symmetry) and for second-sound waves with small amplitudes. Our considerations ...
This paper presents a human walking model built from experimental data based on a wide range of normalized velocities. The model is structured in two levels. At a first level, global spatial and temporal characteristics (normalized length and step duration ...
