We transfer the basic idea of bonds, introduced by Hegedüs, Schicho and Schröcker for overconstrained closed chains with rotational joints, to the theory of self-motions of parallel manipulators of Stewart Gough type. Moreover we present some basic facts and results on bonds and demonstrate the potential of this theory on the basis of several examples. As a by-product we give a geometric charac...

This paper presents results from an experiment on the effects of retail-price recommendations (RPRs) on consumer and retailer behavior. Despite their non-binding nature, RPRs may influence consumers’ willingness to pay by setting a reference point. Loss averse consumers will then be reluctant to pay a price higher than the recommended one. Furthermore, at a given price level consumers will dema...

We propose a framework for computer music composition that uses resilient propagation (RProp) and long short term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network. In this paper, we show that LSTM network learns the structure and characteristics of music pieces properly by demonstrating its ability to recreate music. We also show that predicting existing music using RProp outperforms Back propagation thr...

Resilient modulus of pavement materials is a key property required for the pavement thickness design. This paper describes the results of an experimental study on the effects of temperature and loading frequency on the resilient modulus of a SBS polymer modified asphalt concrete under dry and saturated conditions. Dynamic creep tests were conducted on dry and saturated specimens of the mixture ...

This paper proposes to extend the band width of narrow band telephone speech signal by employing feed forward back propagation neural network. There are different types of faster training algorithm are available in the literature like Variable Learning Rate, Resilient Back propagation, Polak-Ribiére Conjugate Gradient , Conjugate Gradient with Powell/Beale Restarts , BFGS Quasi-Newton , One-Ste...

In this paper an attempt is made to develop speaker & gender identification system using continuous speech signal spoken in different languages as input. MFCCs and delta-MFCCs are used to build modal for classification . Radial basis function network is used for classification. Here resilient back propagation algorithm used to train Multilingual Speech signal . Two separate modules are used for...

This paper uses the kinematic mapping into the image space of spherical displacements to design a cooperating spherical robot system for workpiece orientating. The kinematic chain formed b y the cooperating robots grasping the workpiece forms a multi degree of freedom closed chain which is also known as a robotic mechanism. The spherical robots considered are spherical RPR open chains and they ...
