We explore the use of distributed on-line motion planning algorithms for multiple mobile agents, in Air Traf-c Management Systems (ATMS). The work is motivated by current trends in ATMS to move towards decentralized air traac management, in which the aircraft operate in \free ight" mode instead of following prespeciied \sky freeways". Connict resolution strategies are an integral part of the fr...

OBJECTIVE The purpose is to describe active and passive physical maneuvers that provoke or alleviate lumbosacral radiculopathy and/or sciatica to demonstrate how these maneuvers function in common orthopedic and neurological tests/signs. METHODS Descriptions of the maneuvers and their countermaneuvers are provided to establish an understanding of their mechanisms and influence on lumbosacral ...

The aim of this study was to assess the utility of (3)He MRI to noninvasively probe the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) maneuvers on alveolar recruitment and atelectasis buildup in mechanically ventilated animals. Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 13) were anesthetized, intubated, and ventilated in the supine position ((4)He-to-O(2) ratio: 4:1; tidal volume: 10 ml/kg, 60 breaths/min, ...

BACKGROUND Injury of the acetabular labrum is a well recognized cause of hip pain in the young, active patient. The exact mechanism of these injuries remains a subject of speculation, although femoroacetabular impingement and twisting maneuvers have both been proposed as critical factors. We examined the hypothesis that torsional maneuvers of the morphologically normal hip joint generate mechan...

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) have made driving safer over the last decade. They prepare vehicles for unsafe road conditions and alert drivers if they perform a dangerous maneuver. However, many accidents are unavoidable because by the time drivers are alerted, it is already too late. Anticipating maneuvers beforehand can alert drivers before they perform the maneuver and also give ...

Near-minimum-time attitude maneuvers of space structures as well as ground-based test articles are considered. The switching nature of the controls for rigid-body maneuvers is illustrated using a control cube and a critical control axis. The presence of torque smoothing and, where appropriate, gravitational effects and connections to other bodies are explicitly included in the mathematical mode...

Physiological principles that directly apply to physical diagnosis provide opportune occasions to bring basic science to the bedside. In this article, we describe the effect of cardiac maneuvers on systolic murmurs and how physiological principles apply to the explanation of the changes noted at the bedside. We discuss the effect of Valsalva, squatting, and hand grip maneuvers on different phys...

We study an important practical aspect of the route planning problem in real-world road networks – maneuvers. Informally, maneuvers represent various irregularities of the road network graph such as turn-prohibitions, traffic light delays, round-abouts, forbidden passages and so on. We propose a generalized model which can handle arbitrarily complex (and even negative) maneuvers and extend trad...

Linear unsteady aerodynamic models are obtained for a NACA 0006 airfoil in a wind tunnel experiment at Reynolds number 65,000. A family of system identification maneuvers, based on a canonical step-up, hold maneuver, are specifically designed to extract relevant unsteady information from phase averaged wind tunnel measurements. Linear models based on these maneuvers are constructed using OKID/E...
