Nearest neighbor searching is a fundamental building block of most sampling-based motion planners. We present a novel method for fast exact nearest neighbor searching in SE(3)—the 6 dimensional space that represents rotations and translations in 3 dimensions. SE(3) is commonly used when planning the motions of rigid body robots. Our approach starts by projecting a 4-dimensional cube onto the 3-...

Magnetic plucking applies the strategy of frequency up-conversion in inertial energy harvesting when the energy source, such as human motion, only provides excitations with very low and irregular frequencies. This paper presents an analysis of three different magnet configurations to achieve magnetic plucking based on a three-dimensional analytical cube permanent magnet model: direct repulsive ...

In surgery for facial asymmetry, mandibles can be classified into two types, rotational and translational, according to the required mandibular movements for surgery. During surgery for rotational mandibular asymmetry, a bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) may cause a large bone gap between the proximal and distal segments as well as condylar displacement, resulting in a relapse of...

A polarization-resolved beam deflection technique is used to separate the bound-electronic and molecular rotational components of nonlinear refractive transients of molecular gases. Coherent rotational revivals from N(2), O(2), and two isotopologues of carbon disulfide (CS(2)), are identified in gaseous mixtures. Dephasing rates, rotational and centrifugal distortion constants of each species a...

PURPOSE To compare clinical and radiographic results of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using modified transtibial technique (mTT), anteromedial (AM) portal technique and outside-in (OI) technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2007 to December 2012, ACL reconstruction was performed using the mTT, AM portal technique and OI technique in 20 patients each. Anteroposterior and...

A few work has ever been performed in cryptanalysis of block ciphers using cube attacks. This paper presents a new framework for an efficient key recovery attack on block ciphers based on cube technique. In this method, a cube tester is positioned at the middle of the cipher which is extended in two directions over the maximum possible upper and lower rounds, given that some subkey bits are gue...

On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems have a strong focus on the interactive analysis of data and typically provide extensive capabilities for visualizing the data and generating summary statistics. Most of the data sets can be represented as a table, where each row is an object and each column is an attribute. Data cube represents the multidimensional data with all possible aggregates. ...

A little work has ever been performed in cryptanalysis of block ciphers using cube technique. This paper presents a new framework for an efficient key recovery attack on block ciphers using a kind of dynamic cube attack. In this method, a cube tester is positioned at the middle of the cipher which is extended in two directions over the maximum possible upper and lower rounds, provided that some...

This paper presents a new method for constructing novel thick-panel origami cube. By replacing the equivalent 4R-spherical linkage in four-crease zero-thickness vertex with plane-symmetric Bricard linkage, form of general is identified and constructed. The proposed preserves kinematics original vertex. Then, by utilizing vertex, cube constructed based on that was our previous work. Through mech...

We consider one of the Fulleroid-like mechanisms based on a cube described by G. Kiper [2] and K. Wohlhart [9]. Due to the generation of this mechanism G. Kiper and K.Wohlhart worked out a highly symmetric one-parametric self-motion ζ0(t) of the mechanism and displayed some of the states of this motion. This mechanism consists of 24 rigid bodies linked via 24 rotational linkages (socalled 1R-jo...
