Braid Compression

چکیده
In this paper, we describe the braid group, first mentioned in [2]. We give applications to cryptography mentioned in [1] and [8]. We then describe an apparently new method for shortening braid descriptions which could be useful for transmitting braids over a limited bandwidth channel.

Materials and Textile Architecture Analyses for Mechanical Counter-Pressure Space Suits using Active Materials
Mechanical counter-pressure (MCP) space suits have the potential to improve the mobility of astronauts as they conduct planetary exploration activities. MCP suits differ from traditional gas-pressurized space suits by applying surface pressure to the wearer using tight-fitting materials rather than pressurized gas, and represent a fundamental change in space suit design. However, the underlying...
متن کاملMechanical Properties of Triaxial Braided Carbon/epoxy Composites
In an on-going effort to increase the safety and efficiency of turbine engines, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is exploring lightweight alternatives to the metal containment structures that currently encase commercial jet engines. Epoxy reinforced with braided carbon fibers is a candidate structural material which may be suitable for an engine case. This paper reports flat-co...
متن کاملIrreducibility of the tensor product of Albeverio's representations of the Braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$
We consider Albeverio's linear representations of the braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$. We specialize the indeterminates used in defining these representations to non zero complex numbers. We then consider the tensor products of the representations of $B_3$ and the tensor products of those of $B_4$. We then determine necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the irreducibility of th...
متن کاملSoft Pneumatic Artificial Muscles with Low Threshold Pressures for a Cardiac Compression Device
In this paper, I present the design, fabrication and characterization of fully soft pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) with low threshold pressures that are intended for direct cardiac compression (DCC). McKibben type PAMs typically have a threshold pressure of at least lOOkPa and require rigid end fittings which may damage soft tissue and cause local stress concentrations, and thus failure po...
