R arthritis (RA) is a chronic recurrent, systemic inflammatory disease primarily involving the synovial membranes of multiple joints, followed by cartilage and bone destruction, which eventually leads to joint deformities and loss of articular functions.1 The clinical course of the disorder is extremely variable, ranging from mild, selflimiting arthritis to rapidly progressive multi-system infl...

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) enables the fabrication of entire non-assembly mechanisms within a single process step, making previously required assembly steps dispensable. Besides advantages FDM, manufacturing these implies some shortcomings such as comparatively large joint clearances and geometric deviations depending on machine-specific parameters. The current state-of-the-art concerning...

Multiple linear and nonlinear dynamic parameters of the joints at root solar panels between on spacecraft, both which have complex properties, were identified by using force state mapping method for modeling in deployable mechanisms differential equations representing model derived. On basis actual characteristics joints, test systems developed to investigate vibration response spacecraft so as...

The trajectory of the heel and toe during the swing phase of human gait were analyzed on young adults. The magnitude and variability of minimum toe clearance and heel-contact velocity were documented on 10 repeat walking trials on 11 subjects. The energetics that controlled step length resulted from a separate study of 55 walking trials conducted on subjects walking at slow, natural, and fast c...
