Golf has become an increasingly popular sport and a growing body of research trying to identify its main physical requirements is being published. The aim of this review was twofold: first, to examine the existing scientific literature regarding strength training and golf in healthy, non-injured, subjects; and second, to reach conclusions that could provide information on how to design more eff...

Low power, high-speed bus architectures, based on low swing voltage technique, using multithreshold voltage transistors are proposed in this paper. Three different classes of driver/repeater/receiver circuits are introduced. The driver circuits are comprised of high threshold voltage MOSFET transistors, in order to reduce their output swing level voltage. For re-pulling up the low swing voltage...

A telescopic cascode opamp typically has a higher frequency capability and consumes less power than other topologies. The disadvantage of a telescopic opamp is severely limited output swing. In a conventional telescopic opamp shown in Figure 1, all transistors are biased in the saturation region. Transistors M1-M2, M7-M8 and the tail current source M9 must have at least Vds,sat to offer a good ...

This paper concerns the application of reduced order modeling techniques to power grid simulation. Swing dynamics is a complex non-linear phenomenon due to which model order reduction of these problems is intricate. A multi point linearization based model reduction technique trajectory piece-wise linearization (TPWL) method is adopted to address the problem of approximating the nonlinear term i...

The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) implemented a swing-bed demonstration and evaluation program for rural communities in the 1970's. The demonstration substantiated the cost effectiveness of providing long-term care in small, rural, acute care hospitals. As a result, Section 904 of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-499) authorized the national swing-bed program,...

A bridge crane is often used in a complex environment and subject to the interference of all loads. Some uncertain factors have an inevitable impact on its swing. So force situation during working cycle analyzed, three-dimensional dynamic mathematical model built. Through simulation analysis under action driving wind load, change law swing angle studied. Then, fuzzy control theory determine par...

For the use of green energy and ubiquitous computing, this study investigates miniature electric generators that are constructed with piezoelectric benders. Electric power is generated by vibratory deformation of piezoelectric benders. Three different designs of piezoelectric generators are created and compared in this study by using mechanics analysis. The result shows that the cantilever desi...

We present a swing motion based information access method for mobile devices in a public space. Recently, various media for public spaces exist, the poster, the signboard advertisement, and the street vision, etc. In InfoRod, the provider prints the swing motion code in those media. The user can access online information related to the media by swinging the mobile device according to the swing ...

This paper presents design and verification of an estimation and control system for a helicopter slung load system. The estimator provides position and velocity estimates of the slung load and is designed to augment existing navigation in autonomous helicopters. Sensor input is provided by a vision system on the helicopter that measures the position of the slung load. The controller is a combin...

The implications of a long-lasting mechanical load on the locomotor activity are poorly understood. The objective of the present studies was to determine an impact of excess body weight on basic spatiotemporal gait measures and to test the hypothesis that leg swing phase may account for a load-related adaptation of the stride characteristics. To this end the basic spatial and temporal stride me...
