N, Cable Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs), the moving platform is connected to the base platform by a number of cables. CDPRs have several advantages compared to traditional serial or parallel robots. They have high ratio of payload to robot weight and a much larger workspace which make them appropriate for high speed applications [1], lifting heavy loads [2], camera positioning in sports stadium...

BACKGROUND Body-powered prostheses require cable operation forces between 33 and 131 N. The accepted upper limit for fatigue-free long-duration operation is 20% of a users' maximum cable operation force. However, no information is available on users' maximum force. OBJECTIVES To quantify users' maximum cable operation force and to relate this to the fatigue-free force range for the use of bod...

PURPOSE To evaluate the time to bone union after open reduction and internal fixation with cerclage cables followed by intramedullary nailing (IMN) for unstable humeral shaft fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with a humeral shaft fracture treated by IMN were enrolled. One group of patients was treated via open reduction and internal fixation with cables followed by IMN (cable group; n...

In this paper we present a system design of an integrated Transmitter for broadcast and broadband applications in Cable TV System, based on the novel WFMT modulation. First, we describe the WFMT system suitability for Cable TV Applications. The effect of a quality wavelet synthesis on system performance is analyzed too. We then propose architecture of an integrated WFMT Transmitter for Cable TV...

This document describes an optimization problem of cable cross section of a cable stayed bridge considering constraints of cable stress and deck displacement. Since the bridge is still in study phase, the geometry and the mechanical characteristics are subjected to changes. In order to avoid creating different structural models, a program was produced to construct a model from geometrical and m...

This is a support document which describes the properties of the cable and parameters of the formulas in [1]. The cable parameters help the reader build powerline channel according to the transmission line theory. The document also presents the parameters which describe the distribution of the number of path, path magnitude, path interval and the cable loss feature of the powerline channel. By ...

In this dissertation, we consider the downstream bandwidth management in the context of emerging DOCSIS-based cable networks. The latest DOCSIS 3.1 standard for cable access networks represents a significant change to cable networks. For downstream, the current 6 MHz channel size is replaced by a much larger 192 MHz channel which potentially can provide data rates up to 10 Gbps. Further, the cu...
