Transverse and rotary gallop differ in the placement of the leading hindfeet and forefeet: ipsilateral in the former gait, contralateral in the latter. We analysed 351 filmed sequences to assess the gallop type of 89 investigated mammalian species belonging to Carnivora, Artiodactyla and Perissodactyla orders. Twenty-three biometrical, ecological and physiological parameters were collected for ...

Five-axis computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools (three linear and two rotary axes) are ideally suited to the fabrication of complex work pieces, such as dies, turbo blades, and cams. The locations of the axis average line and centerline of the rotary axes strongly influence the performance of these machines; however, techniques to compensate for eccentric error in the rotary axes remai...

Steering techniques are widely used for navigation of single agents or crowds and flocks. Steerings also have the potential to coordinate movement of human-like agents in very small groups so that the resulting behavior appears socially believable, but this dimension is less explored. Here, we present one such “social” steering, the Walk Along steering for navigating a couple of agents to reach...

increase the utility of high-performance simulations for scientists because it lets them drive the scientific discovery process and interact with their data. They can investigate, calibrate, and correct the execution of their simulations. For example, computational steering lets users interactively maneuver molecule docking in a protein-design simulation,1 interactively examine and control stru...

A steering by wired haptic system based on disturbance rejection control techniques is presented. High gain Generalized Proportional Integral (GPI) observers are considered for the estimation of tire and steering wheel dynamic disturbances. These disturbances are on line canceled to ensure efficient tracking between the commanded steering wheel angle and the tire orientation angle. The estimate...

At many workplaces are activities related to the steering of the work place elements. Steering by upper extremity with a lever is used in most of the work processes. The lower extremities can also perform the work process steering purposes. It refers to such workstations on which steering is carried out with different types of pedals, relate mainly the jobs of drivers of cars, buses, tracks, tr...

This composition is part of a special section one-hundred-word pieces celebrating the inspiration Katie Stewart. It juxtaposes brief vignettes from early fieldwork on Mediterranean island.

The hydraulic steering mechanism can lead the vehicle’s hydraulic system more complex and the tire wear heavier in the process of steering, which is detrimental to the steering control of the articulated motordriven vehicle. Thus the skid steering mode is implemented in the articulated motor-driven vehicle in this paper. This mode can simplify the vehicle without steering cylinder and it is mor...
