The study of rotary steering drilling technology is currently one of the hot topics in the drilling engineering field. It requires accurate well trajectory control instructions when rotary steerable tools are applied to achieve the well trajectory control goal. A drilling trajectory prediction model will benefit this progress. According to the continuous beam theory, a mechanical model of push-...

Rotary encoders for rotational angle detection have been used in a variety of industrial applications, including detection of actuation and travel amounts and motor speed control. In automotive applications, rotary encoders are utilized for steering system angle detection, accelerator pedals and throttle valves to improve vehicle operability and safety. For every automotive application, the nee...

The purpose of this study is to establish a control method to make borehole trajectory smoother. Considering that the complexity of rotary steerable drilling trajectory control and uncertainty of underground work, analysis of the deficiencies for the traditional trajectory control and the rotary steerable drilling trajectory deviation vector control theory, introduced the concept of "trend Angl...

ABSTRACT In this study, the haptical and gestural user input modes are compared with regard to distraction from a controlling task similar to steering a car. The examination is carried out in a driving-simulation laboratory. While performing the controlling task permanently, the test subject has to execute a variety of user input with a given modality. Haptical input is done by using buttons or...

Introduction Recent developments in silicon-based fabrication technology such as fusion bonding, deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) [1] and polyamide joints [2] are expected to enable batch fabrication of mechanically robust micromechanisms that are capable of true 3-D motion. Several MEMS structures and mechanisms have been made for motion in a plane parallel to the surface as in the case of acc...

Watches bene�t from a long design history. Designers and engineers have successfully built devices using rotary physical inputs such as crowns, bezels, and wheels, separately or combined. Smart watch designers have explored the use of some of these inputs for interactions. However, a systematic exploration of their combinations has yet to be done. We investigate the design space of interactions...
