Sensing Polygon Poses by Inscription

Yan-Bin Jia Michael Erdmann The Robotics Institute School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213-3891 Abstract Industrial assembly involves sensing the pose (orientation and position) of a part. E cient and reliable sensing strategies can be developed for an assembly task if the shape of the part is known in advance. In this paper we investigate the problem of deter...

Sub-critical regime of femtosecond inscription.

We apply well known nonlinear diffraction theory governing focusing of a powerful light beam of arbitrary shape in medium with Kerr nonlinearity to the analysis of femtosecond (fs) laser processing of dielectric in sub-critical (input power less than the critical power of self-focusing) regime. Simple analytical expressions are derived for the input beam power and spatial focusing parameter (nu...

The Rabatak Inscription

Introduction        The inscription of Rabatak was found in 1993 near an ancient hill in the north part of Baghlan in Afghanistan. The village of Rabatak is situated at the kilometer forty in the north-western part of the ancient province of Sorkh-Kotal near the border between Baghlan and Samangan provinces. The Rabatak inscription includes 23 lines in Bactrian language and a Greco-Bactrian scr...

Mechanical inscription of the vectorcardiogram.

A modification of the vectorcardiographic method of studying electrical events is presented. Simultaneous scalar leads, taken by any vector lead system, are first recorded. The important time intervals, difficult or impossible to read from the loop itself, are measured from these tracings. Proper pairs of the scalar leads can then be rapidly integrated into vector loops by an easily constructed...
