Characteristic Analysis of Pantograph Mechanisms with Superelastic Hinges.

Static Analysis of Railway Overheads Considering Pantograph Effect

This article is concerned with the static analysis of structural cables used in railway overheads. Structural analysis computer program named ANSYS is used for analysis. Two effects are considered in the analysis. First one is the bending behavior effect of cables. BEAM188 in addition to LINK10 and LINK180 is used to see the difference in case of additional bending effect. Besides, LINK10 and L...

Flexible antibodies with nonprotein hinges

There is a significant need for antibodies that can bind targets with greater affinity. Here we describe a novel strategy employing chemical semisynthesis to produce symmetroadhesins: antibody-like molecules having nonprotein hinge regions that are more flexible and extendible and are capable of two-handed binding. Native chemical ligation was carried out under mild, non-denaturing conditions t...

Use Of Hoekens And Pantograph Mechanisms For Carpet Scrapping Operations

For washing of carpets, scrapping is done using a wooden plank. The edge of the plank gives pressure on the carpet to remove dirt particles and water from the carpet surface. The plank follows a straight-line path on the carpet surface. In this paper Hoeken’s and Pantograph mechanisms are used to obtain a straight-line path for carpet scrapping. Hoeken’s four-bar mechanism can produce the same ...
