A new 3 degrees of freedom (dof) structure is presented. It features rotation on two axes with a fixed remote center of motion (RCM) i.e. it always aims at the same point. The third axis is a linear movement in direction of the fixed point. This type of ki ...
This work investigates whether population vector coding, a distributed computational paradigm, could be a principle mechanism for performing sensorimotor and frames of reference transformations. This paper presents a multilayer neural network that can perf ...
If you need to design ultra-high precision devices for mechanisms with multiple axes there are not a lot of ways leading around flexure-based joints. Using this type of articulations totally eliminates backlash and friction and is, by this, providing an ac ...
We present a approach of 3-dimensional refractive index tomography of biological specimen, based on the high accuracy phase measurement provided by Digital Holographic Microscopy, recorded for a complete rotation of the specimen in the setup. ...
We report here photoluminescence studies of multilayer InAs quantum dot structures grown by MOVPE on (001)-oriented GaAs substrates. AFM measurements reveal prolate shapes of the dots, oriented along the [1-10] direction. Different orientations relative to ...
The biol. function of the aspartic protease from HIV-1 has recently been related to the conformational flexibility of its structural scaffold. Here, we use a multistep strategy to investigate whether the same mechanism affects the functionality in the peps ...

Today's video codecs employ motion compensated prediction in combination with block matching techniques. These techniques, although achieving some level of adaptivity in their latest versions, continue to rely on the decomposition of frames on a set of art ...
We report rotationally resolved spectra of jet-cooled methanol for the OH stretch overtones, 2v(1) and 3v(1), and for the torsional combinations, 2v(1)+v(12), 2v(1)+2v(12), 3v(1)+v(12), and 3v(1)+2v(12). The spectra are obtained by direct excitation from t ...
Unilateral long-lasting vibration was applied to the sternomastoid muscle to assess the influence of asymmetric neck proprioceptive input on body orientation during stepping-in-place. Blindfolded subjects performed 3 sequences of 3 trials, each lasting 60 ...
