Flexible Mono-Tread Mobile Track (FMT)-A New Mobile Mechanism using Endless Track and Vertebrae Structure-

Multi-track Mobile Data Collection Mechanism for Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely researched by countries and institutes. The limited node energy has already become a constraint of large-scale applications. Seeking the energybalance features at sensor nodes to prolong the network lifetime, a multi-track mobile data collecting mechanism (MTMDC) was proposed in this paper. The MTMDC mechanism was composed of three major phases: ...

Mood state and gambling: using mobile telephones to track emotions.

Mobile telephones were used to collect data on the relationship between gambling and mood state from gamblers in the field. Seventeen gamblers called an interactive voice response system running on a computer before, during and after a gambling episode. Measures taken in this way included self-reports of anxiety/arousal, the amount of money gambled, whether the result was a win or loss, the amo...

Already up? using mobile phones to track & share sleep behavior

Users share a lot of personal information with friends, family members, and colleagues via social networks. Surprisingly, some users choose to share their sleeping patterns, perhaps both for awareness as well as a sense of connection to others. Indeed, sharing basic sleep data, whether a person has gone to bed or waking up, informs others about not just one's sleeping routines but also indicate...

Development of a Finite Element Methodology for Flexible Track Models in Railway Dynamics Applications

The dynamic analysis of railway vehicles involves the construction of three independent models: the vehicle model; the track model; and the wheel-rail contact model. In this work, a multibody formulation with Cartesian coordinates is used to describe the kinematic structure of the rigid bodies and joints that constitute the vehicle model. A methodology is also proposed in order to create detail...
