Corrigan's secret door describes a metaphorical escape route for busy physicians. The term was derived from the successful and exceptionally busy professional life of Irish physician Dominic John Corrigan (1802-80). It is claimed that Corrigan's outpatient clinic was so busy that he required a secret door in his consulting rooms to escape from the ever-growing queue of eager patients. The origi...

A Vehicle’s door wireing harness arrangement structure is provided. In vehicle’s door wiring harness(W/H) system is more toward to arrange a passenger compartment than a hinge and a weatherstrip. This article gives some insight into the dimensioning process, with special focus on large deflection analysis of wiring harness(W/H) in vehicle’s door structures for durability problem. An Finite elem...

The back door has been proposed to be an exit pathway from the myosin active site for phosphate (P(i)) generated by adenosine 5'-triphosphate hydrolysis. We used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the interaction of P(i) with the back door and the plausibility of P(i) release via this route. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed on the Dictyostelium motor domain with bound Mg...

Such wrong view comes from the belief, that the energy and momentum are always conserved. It means: if I pull the door, the door reaction pools me. Thus, our opposite momentums vanish each other. When I have pooled the door, I have lost a bit of food in my stomach: So the kinetic energy of accelerated door came from my food. Nothing lost, nothing is gained. But what if the invisible God does so...

Door passing is the basic capability of an intelligent wheelchair. This paper presents a novel approach to address the door passing issue using Bézier curve based trajectory planning. The planed path consists of two segments: one from corridor to door and the other from door to the goal position. For each segment, an optimal Bézier curve is generated as a reference trajectory for an intelligent...

45 Abstract— This paper present the development of composite flush door shutter for ecological purpose (eco-composite) using natural fibre like bamboo, jute and their basic mechanical properties. Here, 100 percent indigenous technologies were applied to make flush door shutter of solid core type. Different thermosetting resin adhesives were used as matrix at different stage. The experimental re...

Current door-opening methods are mainly developed on tracked, wheeled and biped robots by applying multi-DOF manipulators and vision systems. However, door-opening methods for six-legged robots are seldom studied, especially using 0-DOF tools to operate and only force sensing to detect. A novel door-opening method for six-legged robots is developed and implemented to the six-parallel-legged rob...

Doors are important landmarks for indoor mobile robot navigation and also assist blind people to independently access unfamiliar buildings. Most existing algorithms of door detection are limited to work for familiar environments because of restricted assumptions about color, texture and shape. In this paper we propose a novel approach which employs feature based classification and uses the Koho...

The metro door system is one of the high failure rate subsystems of metro trains. The Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) method is applied to analyze the reliability of metro door system in this paper. Firstly, failure components of the door are statistically analyzed, and the major failure components are determined. Secondly, failures are classified according to their impac...
