Instead of confining the player to a single role, the active participator model positions the player in a more flexible position towards the fictional gameworld: involved and immersed in its various events without being limited to one role. The research project Common Tales explores this model in a serial game structure that stages the flexible relationship between the two game heroes. Players ...

Abstract — In this paper we design a new type of hydraulic Energy-Regenerative vibration active suspension system. The system has continuous change of damping force from zero to the maximum value and high energy conversion efficiency. Also we designed and simulated an adaptive back-stepping sliding mode variable structure controller. The simulation results show the designed controller has good ...

In this paper, a robust forwarding control technique is introduced for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems admitting the so-called up-augmented structure. This technique gives a recur-sive design procedure which yields a smooth controller. Further, it can be combined with the well-known back-stepping technique to solve the robust stabilization problem for a large class of uncertain nonlinear...

This paper deals with the problem of suppression of stick-slip oscillations in oil well drill-strings. The backstepping technique is used to design two control schemes for the system. The first controller is a typical backstepping controller; the second controller is a sliding back-stepping controller. Moreover, a reduced order observer is proposed to estimate the unmeasurable states of the sys...

The problem of controlling chaotic system is studied by using back stepping design method. This technique is applied to achieve chaos control for each state of the nonlinear dynamical system. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, control laws are derived. The same technique is used to enable the stabilization of the chaotic motion to a steady state as well as tracking of any desired trajectory to...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of stepping limb and step direction on step distance and the association of step distance and stepping laterality in step difference with walking ability and motor dysfunction. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were thirty-nine patients with chronic hemiparesis as a result of stroke, who performed the MSL (Maximum Step Length) te...

The performance of a molecular motor, characterized by its power output and energy efficiency, is investigated in the motor design space spanned by the stepping rate function and the motor-track interaction potential. Analytic results and simulations show that a gating mechanism that restricts forward stepping in a narrow window in configuration space is needed for generating high power at phys...

Traditional debugging and stepping execution trace are well-accepted techniques to understand deep internals about a program. However in many cases navigating the stack trace is not enough to find bugs, since the cause of a bug is often not in the stack trace anymore and old state is lost, so out of reach from the debugger. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a backward-i...
