Evidence of long-term modification of behavior-in particular, gait alterations in response to repeated exposure to slips-within the locomotor-balance control system is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine whether improvements in fall-resisting behavior as reflected by improvements in gait stability could be retained on a long-term basis. Eight healthy young subjects were exposed to...

The slip control is important for an adhesion force transmission between locomotive wheels and rails. The slip control consists of two tasks. The first task is the slip value detection and the second one is the evaluation of a slip value with a subsequent control action. These two tasks can be realized by many types of methods. Several detection methods use an adhesion coefficient or the adhesi...

A walking-assistant robot guided by the intention and power-driven is presented, its purpose is to provide physical support and walking assistance for the elderly to meet their needs of walking autonomy, friendliness, and maintaining the ability of walking and taking care of themselves. Tactile and slip sensor is selected as the human interface to perceive the user’s walking intent, and the sen...

Input Queued Switch has throughput limitation of 58%.Hence concept of Virtual Output Queue is evolved. Selection of ‘N’ cells out of N is difficult task. Prof.Nick Mckeown from Stanford University had suggested i-slip algorithm to provide throughput of 100%. Multiple Input Queued Switch is generalized case of Input Queued Switch, where M indicates number of queues/port. When M=N, its VOQ. When ...

Starting from the beginning of the 20-century, slip-forming is widely used in formwork due to fast concrete work. Slip-forming is one of the potential concrete formwork methods that improves speed and productivity of repetitive vertical concrete work. Typical projects that employ this technique are: silos, core of high-rise buildings, telecommunication towers, cooling towers, heavy concrete off...

In this paper a laminar flow of water on an ice layer subjected to a slip condition is considered numerically. The paper describes a parametric mathematical model to simulate the coupled heat and mass transfer events occurring in moving boundary problems associated with a quasi steady state steady flow process. The discretization technique of the elliptic governing differential equations of mas...

Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy can be used in a wide range of cell biological applications, and is particularly well suited to analysis of the localization and dynamics of molecules and events near the plasma membrane. The TIRF excitation field decreases exponentially with distance from the cover slip on which cells are grown. This means that fluorophores close to the ...

This paper presents various systems for dynamic slip control of wound-rotor asynchronous generators. Particular systems are presented here and compared to each other. This paper thus yields a comprehensive overview of systems for converting wind energy to electrical energy using asynchronous generators with slip control.

Abstract: This paper presents an application of nonlinear filtering techniques for the tracking control design of tracked mobile robot under slip condition. The slip is represented only by the longitudinal wheels slip that is described by just an unknown parameter. The extended Kalman filter (EKF), the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) and the particle filter (PF) are used to estimate the states of...

Due to complex and nonlinear dynamics of a braking process and complexity in the tire–road interaction, the control of automotive braking systems performance simultaneously with the wheel slip represents a challenging problem. The non-optimal wheel slip level during braking, causing inability to achieve the desired tire–road friction force strongly influences the braking distance. In addition, ...
