Part Orientation with One or Two Stable

Programmable vector elds are an abstraction to represent a new class of devices for distributed, non-prehensile manipulation for applications in parts feeding, sorting, positioning, and assembly. Unlike robot grippers, conveyor belts, or vibratory bowl feeders, these devices generate force vector elds in which the parts move until they may reach a stable equilibrium pose. Recent research in the...

Part Two

Part II of The Impact of AIDS provides summaries of selected studies referred to in earlier chapters. For each study, the summary gives a brief overview of the objectives and results of the research. Much of the usefulness of the results depends on how a study was carried out. The summaries give information about the methodology , the size of the sample and whether it was representative, whethe...

Two-Part Set Systems

The two part Sperner theorem of Katona and Kleitman states that if X is an n-element set with partition X1 ∪X2, and F is a family of subsets of X such that no two sets A,B ∈ F satisfy A ⊂ B (or B ⊂ A) and A ∩ Xi = B ∩ Xi for some i, then |F| ≤ ( n ⌊n/2⌋ ) . We consider variations of this problem by replacing the Sperner property with the intersection property and considering families that satis...

Lessons from LEO: Part Two.

MORE THAN 32,000 nurses and around 8,000 allied health professionals (AHPs) have experienced the Leading Empowered Organisations (LEO) programme during the three-year lifetime of the NHS national nursing leadership programme. An article in last month’s Nursing Management (Faugier and Woolnough 2003) outlined the main findings from its evaluation. This month’s highlights similarities and differe...
