Since car manufacturers pursue in the development of environmental -friendly vehicle, the demand for extensive research on stability, controllability, and reliability of electric vehicles (EVs) increases. Electric powered and by-wire control technology allow manufacturers to build independent four -wheel steering of an allwheel drive in-wheel EV. In past research, we investigated the advantages...

Conventional angle sensors can measure only 360°,but passenger car steering wheel turns through +/-720 (a total of 4 complete turns). In this paper we describe iGMR based steering wheel angle sensor implementation which can be used as a rotation sensor to measure +/720°. KeywordSteering Wheel Angle Sensor, IGMR, Angle Sensor, GMR.

The purpose of this paper is to study the behavior of elastic-plastic stresses under severe drag braking. A railway wheel performs three tasks, aiding in trian movement, supporting the car load, and acting as a brake drum. Finite element computer programs are developed for elasto-plastic stress analysis. An attempt is made here to find an improved fillet profile of the wheel with the intention ...

In maturing rats, the growth of abdominal fat is attenuated by voluntary wheel running. After the cessation of running by wheel locking, a rapid increase in adipose tissue growth to a size that is similar to rats that have never run (i.e. catch-up growth) has been previously reported by our lab. In contrast, diet-induced increases in adiposity have a slower onset with relatively delayed transcr...

Introduction Due to its tool structure and composition, the grinding operation is considered the best machining process in the manufacture of brittle materials like ceramics. A grinding wheel distributes wear over many cutters and is capable of replenishing itself. However, the condition of the grinding wheel constantly changes as grits wear and chips accumulate in the spaces between grits. The...

We present a method to recognize a complicated curved object from an image contour. We are developing a system that automatically measures train wheel abrasion from its contour image. Because a train wheel consists of a curved surface, the transformation of the image contour due to position variation affects the measurement accuracy. The 3D shape model of the train wheel is analyzed to compute ...

Title of Document: IMPLEMENTATION OF KALMAN FILTER TO TRACKING CUSTOM FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE FOUR-WHEEL-STEERING ROBOTIC PLATFORM

We survey our results about verification of adaptable processes. We present adaptable processes as a way of overcoming the limitations that process calculi have for describing patterns of dynamic process evolution. Such patterns rely on direct ways of controlling the behavior and location of running processes, and so they are at the heart of the adaptation capabilities present in many modern co...

10.1152/ japplphysiol.00832.2001.-To examine the effects of gene inactivation on the plasticity of skeletal muscle, mice null for a specific myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform were subjected to a voluntary wheel-running paradigm. Despite reduced running performance compared with nontransgenic C57BL/6 mice (NTG), both MHC IIb and MHC IId/x null animals exhibited increased muscle fiber size and mus...

Voluntary wheel running can potentially be used to exacerbate the disease phenotype in dystrophin-deficient mdx mice. While it has been established that voluntary wheel running is highly variable between individuals, the key parameters of wheel running that impact the most on muscle pathology have not been examined in detail. We conducted a 2-week test of voluntary wheel running by mdx mice and...
