kinematic synthesis of a trailing six-member mechanism has been carried out to achieve five precision points of an automotive steering mechanism. the inner wheel can be rotated up to forty five degrees with fair accuracy. results show that the divergent end behavior of ackermann steering mechanism has been overcome by the present mechanism. the work is similar to earlier work by the present aut...

A new effect appears in femtosecond optical pulse compression, using single-mode fibers, that we describe as optical wave breaking. In the fiber, frequency-shifted light in the leading and trailing edges of a pulse overtakes unshifted light in the pulse tails. Mixing of these overlapping frequency components generates sidelobes on the pulse spectrum. The effect often leads to computational inst...

This experimental study investigates the effect of biologically inspired finlets on reduction trailing-edge noise a NACA 0012 airfoil. At chord-based Reynolds number 400,000, far...

Direct numerical simulationhas been carried out for turbulent  owovera rectangular trailing edge at aReynolds number of 1 £ £ 103 (based on the freestream quantities and the trailing-edge thickness) and ratio of boundarylayer displacement thickness to trailing-edge thickness close to unity. Two types of  ow control were studied: base transpiration and secondary splitter plate. Simulation of b...

Cortical motion analysis continuously encodes image velocity but might also be used to predict future patterns of sensory input along the motion path. We asked whether this predictive aspect of motion is exploited by the human visual system. Targets can be more easily detected at the leading as compared to the trailing edge of motion [1], but this effect has been attributed to a nonspecific boo...

The footsteps illusion (FI) demonstrates that an object's background can have a profound effect on the object's perceived speed. This illusion consists of a yellow bar and a blue bar that move over a black-and-white, striped background. Although the bars move at a constant rate, they appear to repeatedly accelerate and decelerate in antiphase with each other. Previously, this illusion has been ...

Flow-induced noise from fully submerged lifting bodies experiencing turbulent trailing edge flows continues to pose undesirable effects for many marine propulsion systems and control surfaces.This noises arises from unsteady oscillatory flow has been shown to be highly dependent on trailing edge geometry, which can also lead to unacceptable structural vibrations. This paper presents a numerical...

In this study, spatiotemporal profiles of brain responses to gaps in tones were investigated using magnetoencephalography (MEG). Participants listened passively to diotically presented stimuli consisting of leading and trailing markers with gaps of 0, 30, or 80 ms in duration that were inserted between the two markers. The leading and trailing markers were 300-ms pure tones of either 800 or 320...
