Repetitive Impact Motion in Mass-Spring System with Impact Follower by Static Pressure Force Suspension Controlled. Follower as Time Lag System of First Order.

Map-based Active Leader-Follower Surveillance System

We propose a generic framework for an active leader-follower surveillance system. The system can ingest inputs from a variety of multimodal leader sensors: Radars, Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), or cameras. Rule and learning based pattern recognition techniques are performed on the leader sensors to infer unusual behaviors and events. In order to calibrate the follower PTZ cameras to t...

Follower Behavior and Organizational Performance: The Impact of Transformational Leaders

Periodic Motion of a Mass-Spring System

The equations of planar motion of a mass attached to two anchored massless springs form a symmetric Hamiltonian system. The system has a single dimensionless parameter L, corresponding to the spacing between the anchors. For L > 1, there is a stable equilibrium at which the springs are in tension and lie on a line, but for L < 1, this equilibrium has both springs in compression, and is unstable...

Controllability of Second Order Leader-Follower Systems ?

In this paper we study formation control of a network of communicating mobile agents with double integrator dynamics. All agents run a consensus algorithm, several leader agents are further subject to an external input. We put this problem in a control theoretical framework and show that the controllability of the entire system via external control input depends only on the controllability of t...

Follower Load Influences the Kinematics and Kinetics of Cervical Spine Buckling during Simulated Head-First Impact

Biomechanical understanding of cervical spine injury is based on decades of quasi-static compression and head-first impact studies that suggest that, during head first impact, the cervical spine buckles as the head moves toward the more massive torso and further that buckling characteristics and injuries may be correlated [1]. Some impact studies describe cables tethered to cervical anatomy to ...
