The purpose of this paper is to present the design of a complete control strategy for the classical and rotary single inverted pendulum system. The design, which involves swing-up and stabilization of both systems, is based on function blocks and GUI tools from the Inverted Pendula Modeling and Control, a Simulink block library developed by the author of the paper. Keywords—classical single inv...

AIM To evaluate the efficacy of the ProTaper Universal rotary retreatment system for gutta-percha (GP) removal from root canals. METHODOLOGY Root canals of 60 extracted human maxillary anterior teeth were prepared and filled with laterally condensed GP and AH Plus sealer. Teeth were divided into three groups: group A--GP removal completed with the ProTaper Universal rotary retreatment system ...

A novel human body tracking system based on discrete wavelet transform is proposed in this paper based on color and spatial information. The configuration of the proposed tracking system is very simple, consisting of a CCD camera mounted on a rotary platform for tracking moving objects. By using the position information of objects in the image frame captured by the camera, the rotary platform i...

Perhaps the most critical structural system aboard the Space Station is the Solar Alpha Rotary Joint which helps align the power generation system with the sun (Figure 1). The joint must provide structural support and controlled rotation to the outboard transverse booms as well as power and data transfer across the joint. The Solar Alpha Rotary Joint is composed of two transition sections and a...

The Rotary One-to-Many Project is aimed at designing and realizing an innovative novel actuator capable of emulating human muscle dexterity. This technology utilizes the “One-toMany” (OTM) concept, which allows a single artificial actuator to store energy in the form of elastic potential energy and drive multiple independently actuated and controlled degrees of freedom (DoF). This technology ma...
