Applications of Inertial Navigation Systems in Medical Engineering
Inertial navigation systems are of the most important and practical systems in determining the velocity, position and attitude of the vehicles and different equipment. In these systems, three accelerometers and three gyroscopes are used to measure linear accelerations and angular velocities of vehicles, respectively. By using the output of these sensors and special inertial algorithms in differ...
متن کاملThe Ratchet Effect
OBJECTIVE To describe the previously unexamined association between admissions to hospital with chronic disease and changes in all-cause health service utilization over time. RESEARCH DESIGN A cohort study examining the population of Western Australia with hospitalizations for chronic disease from 2002 to 2010. A "rolling" clearance period is used to define "cardinal events," that is, a disea...
متن کاملCompetition and the Ratchet Effect
The ‘ratchet effect’ refers to a situation where a principal uses private information that is revealed by an agent’s early actions to the agent’s later disadvantage, in a context where binding multi-period contracts are not enforceable. In a simple, context-rich environment, we experimentally study the robustness of the ratchet effect to the introduction of ex post competition for principals or...
متن کاملTHERMAL RATCHET EFFECT IN FERROFLUIDS A.Engel
Introduction. The extraction of directed motion from random fluctuations is an old and controversial problem in statistical mechanics with a long and interesting history [1]. Although excluded by the second law of thermodynamics for equilibrium systems, rectification of fluctuations is possible in systems driven sufficiently far away from thermal equilibrium [2, 3]. The problem has gained renew...
متن کاملSystemic risk and the refinancing ratchet effect
The combination of rising home prices, declining interest rates, and near-frictionless refinancing opportunities can create unintentional synchronization of homeowner leverage, leading to a ‘‘ratchet’’ effect on leverage because homes are indivisible and owner-occupants cannot raise equity to reduce leverage when home prices fall. Our simulation of the U.S. housing market yields potential losse...
