Business process design is primarily driven by process improvement objectives. However, the role of control objectives stemming from regulations and standards is becoming increasingly important for businesses in light of recent events that led to some of the largest scandals in corporate history. As organizations strive to meet compliance agendas, there is an evident need to provide systematic ...

In this paper, for an object grasped by a robot hand to work in compliance control domain, we first analyze necessary condition for successful stiffness modulation in the operational space. Next, we propose a new compliance control method for robot hands which consist of two steps. R IFDS(Reso l ved In ter -Finger Decoupiing Solver) is to decompose the desired compliance characteristic specifie...

We determined total arterial compliance from pressure and flow in the ascending aorta of seven anesthetized dogs using the pulse pressure method (PPM) and the decay time method (DTM). Compliance was determined under control and during occlusion of the aorta at four different locations (iliac, renal, diaphragm, and proximal descending thoracic aorta). Compliance of PPM gave consistently lower va...

To be able to define a high-fidelity compliance characteristic to a legged robot using only software, with no change in the hardware, is a feature that greatly enhances the robot’s versatility. We present mechanical and control design aspects that can increase the performance of a hydraulic compliance controller. We also discuss the limitations that the load characteristics can impose to it.

A fundamental challenge for any process-aware information system is to ensure compliance of modeled and executed business processes with imposed compliance rules stemming from guidelines, standards and laws. Such compliance rules usually refer to multiple process perspectives including control flow, data, time, and resources as well as interactions with business partners. On one hand, complianc...

BACKGROUND A survey of 142 South Australian general practices was conducted on the eve of the new Privacy Act amendments coming into force. OBJECTIVE The survey had two aims: to establish the extent to which medical records systems were already compliant, and to identify those areas in which change would be required in order to achieve compliance with the requirements of the new legislation. ...

Robots governed by remote human operators are excellent candidates for work in hazardous or uncertain environments such as nuclear plants or outer space. For successful teleoperation, it is important to let the operator feel physically present at the remote site. When the telerobotic system is used to execute compliance tasks in which simultaneous control of both position and force may be deman...

The pillar shaping work of solid rocket motors involves complex trajectory tracking and force control problems, which are dangerous by manual operation. In this paper, a position method based on MPC is proposed, the admittance used to realize local compliance manipulator contact force. numerical simulation, tracks given shows suppleness in with environment presence external forces. Simulations ...

aim and background: schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disease that has an important effect on patients’ quality of life and their function. the goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of compliance therapy on quality of life and global function of schizophrenic patient. methods and materials: in this randomized controlled trial 76 remission patients with schizophrenia were recruited ...
