Orienting otolith-ocular reflexes were assessed in rabbits using static tilt, off-vertical axis rotation (OVAR) and sinusoidal oscillation about earth-horizontal axes. In all paradigms, head pitch produced ocular counter-pitch and vergence, and head roll produced ocular counter-roll and conjugate yaw version. Thus, vergence and version are essential components of orienting reflexes along the na...

Hydraulic bending roll system has become one of key equipments to control the exit strip shape in strip rolling mills. The hydraulic bending roll system of a hot rolling mill was researched and analyzed, and its mathematics models were founded in whole based on the action principle of some representative hydraulic components. At last, the hydraulic bending roll system was simulated with MATLAB ...

to reduce the storing space and handling costs for hay/straw bales, recompressing the original bales after adequate hay drying is recommended. in this project, a recompression machine was designed, constructed and evaluated. solidwork and nastran software were employed to model, and to analyze the stresses in the components of the machine, respectively. the components of the machine consisted o...

Roll-to-roll converting machines have significant interactions in tensions and speeds among web spans. A reasonable MIMO model for web tension plays an important role for high-performance converting machines. In this paper, we derive a nonlinear MIMO web-tension model of a high-speed gravure printing machine considering span length to be time-varying instead of considering it to be fixed. Then ...

This paper introduces a flexible antenna, printed on a low-cost Polyethylene Terephtalate (PET) substrate for UHF applications. The RF characteristics of the PET substrate are examined using a microstrip resonator to characterize the substrate’s relative permittivity and the loss tangent at UHF band. The PET substrate is used to print an antenna designed to work in the 868 ISMBand. The printing...

Autonomous walking bipedal machines, possibly useful for rehabilitation and entertainment purposes, need a high energy efficiency, offered by the concept of ‘Passive Dynamic Walking’ (exploitation of the natural dynamics of the robot). 2D passive dynamic bipeds have been shown to be inherently stable, but in the third dimension two problematic degrees of freedom are introduced: yaw and roll. We...

We have developed a novel tensile stage that can be used for in situ electron microscopy examination of the mechanical properties of "superelastic" materials. In our stage, one of the specimen clamps is replaced by a cylindrical roller, which when driven by a motor can easily stretch ("roll on") any specimen irrespective of its plastic properties. We have used the so-called Roll-o-meter in the ...

Abstract Circular Economy (CE) and the potential of reusing recycling products after end their life, becomes imperative for environmental, economic social reasons. Especially during 4th Industrial Revolution that is taking place nowadays, an increasing number out-of-date equipment has to be replaced, which constitutes a chance necessity reused, through recycling, redesigning remanufacturing. Th...
