On a Compensating Pendulum

A patient perspective: focusing on compensating harm.

Pendulum knife on a stabbed heart.

A 46-year-old woman was brought to the emergency department after having been found stabbed at home. A 25 cm long knife was stuck on the anterior left chest, over the cardiac area approximately between the sternum and the midclavicular line on the fifth intercostal space. Two further deep wounds were on the left chest 3–4 cm above the knife along the midclavicular line and on the left hypocondr...

A fuzzy reasoning method based on compensating operation and its application to fuzzy systems

In this paper, we present a new fuzzy reasoning method based on the compensating fuzzy reasoning (CFR). Its basicidea is to obtain a new fuzzy reasoning result by moving and deforming the consequent fuzzy set on the basis of themoving, deformation, and moving-deformation operations between the antecedent fuzzy set and observation information.Experimental results on real-world data sets show tha...

Fairly Random: On Compensating Audited Taxpayers

A pendulum theoremt

Stephenson (1908a, b) showed that it is possible to stabilize a single rigid pendulum in its inverted, or upside-down, equilibrium position by subjecting the pivot to small vertical oscillations of suitably high frequency. He confirmed his theoretical predictions by a practical demonstration of the phenomenon. While this is a well-known curiosity of classical mechanics it does not seem to be ge...
