Vibrating Portable Machine-Tools Acting on Human Operator

Vibration isolators for portable vibrating tools. Part 6. Problems concerning vibration force measurement.

Multi-point independent simultaneous force measurements were made to investigate the vibration force distribution on the palm and to determine one representative point on it for the purpose of field survey. The phase relationships between the force and the acceleration were also pursued. In connection with vibration force transmission, important effects such as vector, bypassing and mechanical ...

A study of portable vibrating tools in relation to the clinical effects which they produce.

During the recent war the clinical effects of the use of vibrating machinery have come even more to the fore than previously. This is because production methods, particularly in the aircraft industry, have required the increased use of portable grinding and riveting tools. Loriga (1911) first connected circulatory disturbances with the use of pneumatic tools, which had by then been in favour fo...

Portable telepathology: methods and tools

Telepathology is becoming easier to implement in most pathology departments. In fact e-mail image transmit can be done from almost any pathologist as a simplistic telepathology system. We tried to develop a way to improve capabilities of communication among pathologists with the idea that the system should be affordable for everybody. We took the premise that any pathology department would have...

Matching Feedback with Operator Intent for Effective Human-machine Interfaces

Various roles for operators in human-machine systems have been proposed. The proposed research hypothesizes that underlying all of these views is the law that operators perform best when given feedback of the same type as their intent. To test the hypothesis, operator performance with position control, rate control, and position control with the ghost arm will be measured to see if giving posit...
