With the continuous advancement of electronic technology, auto parts manufacturing institutions are gradually applying throttles to automobiles for precise control. Based on visual angle model (VAM), a car-following considering throttle preceding vehicle is proposed. The stability conditions obtained through linear analysis. By means nonlinear analysis, time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau (TDGL) equ...

The Taurus has a MacPherson strut type of suspension in the front and rear of the car, as shown in Figure 1. The various types of joints in the suspension are modeled with connector elements. These specialized elements provide an easy and versatile way to model physical mechanisms with point-to-point connections that can exhibit complex kinematic and kinetic relationships. A list of model joint...

Introduction With the onset of increasingly complex electrical systems, applications, and processing needs, the use of microcontrollers to handle operations has also increased significantly. Microcontroller applications are found in managing various electrical networks ranging from large equipment such as air conditioning units, mainframe computers, and airplane navigation systems, to smaller d...

“...capital account liberalization is...similar to the issue of how the human race should make use of fire. Fire warms our homes. It cooks our food, our internal combustion engines. It powers our automobiles and trucks and our turbojets. It powers our airplanes. No doubt, fire is very useful, and we are not going to give up its manifold benefits. On the other hand, fire can also burn you down a...

The share of new automobiles leased in the United States increased from 3% in 1984 to 30% by 1998. This paper explores the motivations behind consumers’ preference for leasing by developing a model of vehicle acquisition decisions, including the type of vehicle to drive and whether to lease or purchase it. We find that leasing’s recent popularity is largely attributable to its role in facilitat...
