The design, control and performance of the Cobotic Hand Controller, a novel, six-degree-of-freedom, admittance controlled haptic display is examined. A highly geared admittance architecture is often used to render high impedances with reasonable sized actuators for a haptic display. The Cobotic Hand Controller is an extremely faithful realization of an admittance display, since it is capable of...

The admittance o• a turbulent jet as the generator in organ flue pipes was investigated experimentally with respect o the relevant parameters, that is, the frequency, the jet effiux velocity, the mouth end-correction, and the jet tip deflection at the cdge. First, an experiment was performed using a jet with a pulsating velocity to drive a pipe to isolate and identify the various drive mechanis...

A new method of designing horn-fed frequency scanning holographic antenna is proposed. The artificial surface design of holographic antenna is based on generalized law of reflection. The input admittance is utilized to construct the interference pattern of the surface which is intervened by the excitation wave and the required radiation wave. The scalar admittance unit cell which is composed of...

Virtual Prototyping with haptic feedback offers great benefits in the development process of actuated systems. We present a generic control scheme for the haptic rendering of actuated mechanisms, introducing the active admittance. It extends the conventional admittance control by modeling the actuation and the movable parts of the mechanism separately. This allows for an efficient iterative des...

The interconnection stability of a grid-connected voltage-source converter (VSC) can be assessed by the passivity properties of the VSC input admittance. If critical grid resonances fall within regions where the input admittance acts passively, i.e., has nonnegative real part, then their destabilization is generally prevented. This paper presents an overview of passivity-based stability assessm...

Several formulas for the calculation of the admittance of open-ended coaxial probes from the complex permittivity, E, of the measured medium and the dimensions of the probe are presented. The inverse problem, calculation of c from the measured admittance of the probe, is also studied in detail. These formulas are discussed and compared in terms of numerical calculations. New universal diagrams ...

In this paper, models of input admittance of RC interconnects are discussed in depth to understand and evaluate their loading effects on driving CMOS gates. From a detailed analysis of input admittance polezero location, arguments are derived to prove that their input admittance can be accurately approximated to that of a low-order equivalent RC circuit, in contrast to the case of timing analys...

Longitudinal measures of peak-compensated static acoustic admittance and tympanometric width are reported for infants and toddlers from 6 months to 30 months of age, based on over 1600 assessments of 88 children during a 24-month period. The subjects were all African-American children in full-time day care. Significant age effects were observed, with younger children displaying lower static adm...
