In this paper, a study on the role of force feedback for teleoperation of industrial overhead crane is presented. Teleoperation of industrial crane was described and analyzed. We proposed several types of force feedback signals which can reduce sway motion in industrial crane. First, force feedback signal was selected and designed based on dynamic model of the system. Then, we simplified force ...

Let $G$ be a tamely ramified reductive $p$-adic‎ ‎group‎. ‎We study distinction of a class of irreducible admissible representations‎ ‎of $G$ by the group of fixed points $H$ of an involution‎ ‎of $G$‎. ‎The representations correspond to $G$-conjugacy classes of‎ ‎pairs $(T,phi)$‎, ‎where $T$ is a‎ ‎tamely ramified maximal torus of $G$ and $phi$ is a quasicharacter‎ ‎of $T$ whose restriction t...

Abstract: We consider small factor analysis models with one or two factors. Fixing the number of factors, we prove a finiteness result about the covariance matrix parameter space when the size of the covariance matrix increases. According to this result, there exists a distinguished matrix size starting at which one can determine whether a given covariance matrix belongs to the parameter space ...

Landuaer and Redmond’s Lattice of Information was an early and influential formalisation of the pure structure of security [8]: a partial order was defined for information-flow from a hidden state. In modern terms we would say that more-security refines less-security. For Landauer, the deterministic case [op. cit.], the refinement order is a lattice. Very recently [9, 3] a similar approach has ...

For K/F a quadratic extension of p-adic fields, let σ be the conjugation relative to this extension, and ηK/F be the character of F ∗ with kernel norms of K. If π is a smooth irreducible representation of GL(n,K), and χ a character of F , the dimension of the space of linear forms on its space, which transform by χ under GL(n, F ) (with respect to the action [(L, g) 7→ L ◦ π(g)]) , is known to ...
