Biological inspiration has produced some successful solutions for estimation of self motion from visual information. This paper describes the advantages of egomotion estimation on a spherical image plane with respect to translational and rotational motion decoupling. The paper presents a novel 6 DoF egomotion estimation method for spherical cameras based on the image interpolation algorithm. Th...

According to NMR evidence the metal-mediated sandwich assemblies of porphyrins 2 and 3 undergo in solution a thermally driven motion that resembles that of a stepper: the spontaneous rotational motion of the pyridyl rings is converted into a reciprocating linear motion of the porphyrins.

Background Left ventricular rotational deformation, which arises from contraction of myofibers arranged in a helical structure, plays a crucial role in cardiac mechanics. Myocardial dysfunction in cardiomyopathies is usually associated with altered diastolic rotation [1-3]. However, regional myocardial abnormalities in various cardiomyopathies may result in regional alterations of both systolic...

Abstract By applying a single rotary motion to our previously developed magnetic bead droplet handling mechanism, we recently developed transportation and agitation operation mechanisms aiming at realizing a portable-sized biochemical analysis system. We used two permanent magnets for transporting beads and another magnet coupled with multi-layered flat coils for agitation. They are all mounted...

In this paper, the experimental vibration analysis of a single cylinder air compressor based on a hypocycloid straight line mechanism (HSM) is investigated. The HSM mechanism uses planetary gears to convert rotational motion to purely linear motion. In the conventional air compressor, the slider- crank mechanism is replaced by the HSM mechanism with appropriate counterweights. The constructed s...

The Cassini spacecraft collects high resolution images of the saturnian satellites and reveals the surface of these new worlds. The shape and rotation of the satellites can be determined from the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem data, employing limb coordinates and stereogrammetric control points. This is the case for Epimetheus (Tiscareno et al. 2009) that opens elaboration of new rotational ...

The residual motion of spin labels bound to cysteine beta 93 of methemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin has been analyzed as a function of temperature and hydration. The rotational diffusion of the whole protein molecule has been prevented or restricted by crystallization, lyophilization or by high viscosity of the solution. The residual motion of the labels is characterized by an angle of the limited ...
