Scalable closed-form trajectories for periodic and non-periodic human-like walking

We present a new framework to generate human-like lower-limb trajectories in periodic and non-periodic walking. In our method, walking dynamics is encoded in 3LP, a linear simplified model composed of three pendulums to simulate falling, swing, and torso b ...

Studying the wettability of Si and eutectic Si-Zr alloy on carbon and silicon carbide by sessile drop experiments

Ludger Weber, Alberto Ortona, Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

The contact angles of two different systems, molten silicon and a eutectic Si-8 at. pct Zr alloy and their evolution over timeon vitreous carbon and polycrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) substrates were investigated at 1500 degrees C under vacuum, as well ...

Current Control Strategy for Dynamic Winding Reconfiguration of Slotless Brushless DC Motors

Yves Perriard, Douglas Martins Araujo, Florian Louis Copt

Depending on the winding configuration, the intrinsic characteristic of a motor differs. By reconfiguring the winding, it becomes possible to increase the torque–speed limitation of a motor. Current proposed methodologies for dynamically reconfiguring the ...

Flexure-Pivot Oscillator Restoring Torque Nonlinearity and Isochronism Defect

Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Mohammad Hussein Kahrobaiyan

Flexure pivot based oscillators can advantageously replace the hairspring and balance wheel, the time base used in mechanical watches, by drastically reducing friction. However, flexure pivots have drawbacks including gravity sensitivity and restoring torq ...

Scalable closed-form trajectories for periodic and non-periodic human-like walking

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji

We present a new framework to generate human-like lower-limb trajectories in periodic and non-periodic walking conditions. In our method, walking dynamics is encoded in 3LP, a linear simplified model composed of three pendulums to model falling, swing and ...

Seismic retrofit of steel tall buildings with bilinear oil dampers

Dimitrios Lignos

This paper presents retrofit solutions for existing tall buildings by utilizing supplemental damping devices, namely oil dampers with relief valve (bilinear oil dampers). To this end, multiple retrofit schemes are presented for a benchmark 40-story steel m ...

Unpredictability does not hamper nonretinotopic motion perception

Michael Herzog, Marc Michael Lauffs

The motion of parts of an object is usually perceived relative to the object, i.e., nonretinotopically, rather than in retinal coordinates. For example, we perceive a reflector to rotate on the wheel of a moving bicycle even though its trajectory is cycloi ...

FRIDA: FRI-Based DOA Estimation For Arbitrary Array Layouts

Martin Vetterli, Eric Bezzam, Ivan Dokmanic, Robin Scheibler, Hanjie Pan

In this paper we present FRIDA—an algorithm for estimating directions of arrival of multiple wideband sound sources. FRIDA combines multi-band information coherently and achieves state- of-the-art resolution at extremely low signal-to-noise ratios. It work ...

Integrating Bicycle Travel Demand into a Land-Use and Transport Model of the Greater Boston Area

Marc-Edouard Baptiste Grégoire Schultheiss

In the last decades, travel demand models have progressed with tremendous development and are now routinely used to support planning and public policy decisions. However, active modes have often been overlooked and rarely considered as part of the solution ...

EEG Correlates of Relative Motion Encoding

Michael Herzog, Gijs Plomp, Yvonne Evelina Thunell

A large portion of the visual cortex is organized retinotopically, but perception is usually non-retinotopic. For example, a reflector on the spoke of a bicycle wheel appears to move on a circular or prolate cycloidal orbit as the bicycle moves forward, wh ...
