MISSION CONTACT POINTS BETWEEN ANTIQUE AND SLAVICISM

Toward sensorless acquisition of multiple contact points between planar parts

A fixture is a device which immobilizes a part through a maximal set of linearly independent contacts. While many techniques exist to determine an appropriate arrangement of contacts, little research has been done on how to acquire those contacts (i.e., move the part such that it makes contact with the fixture at all intended points). In previous work, it was assumed that the gaps between the p...

Effect of Contact Pressure and Frequency on Contact Heat Transfer Between Exhaust Valve and its Seat

The hot gases produced by the internal combustion engines passes through the exhaust valve and causes high temperatures in the exhaust valve and its seat. To avoid damaging the exhaust valve, heat must be transferred from the valve to its seat during the contact they make at the opening and closing cycle. Heat transfer rate from the exhaust valve to its seat is a function of many factors. One o...

Antique Team

In this document, we use the Abstract Interpretation framework to analyze concurrent programs using Thread-Modular Analysis. We designed a relational abstraction of interferences in order to infer more properties and go beyond the state of the art. We implemented a basic analyzer, studying the numerical properties of a simple language. We present the results obtained, as well as a study of the ...

[Neurology and cardiology: points of contact].

Strokes resulting from cardiac diseases, and cardiac abnormalities associated with neuromuscular disorders are examples of the many points of contact between neurology and cardiology. Approximately 20-30% of strokes are related to cardiac diseases, including atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, bacterial endocarditis, rheumatic and nonrheumatic valvular diseases, acute myocardial infa...
