In an experiment conducted at the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University in March-April 2009, the resonant elastic scattering of O+p was studied with the Thick Target Inverse Kinematics (TTIK) method [1] to observe states in F. F is expected to be unbound to proton decay (as are F). A rare beam of O with intensity of 5 x 10 pps was produced for the experiment in the H(N,O)2n reaction and w...

A robotic device is proposed by means of which the mastication process could be reproduced in a mechanically controllable way whilst the masticatory efficiency and/or food dynamics are assessed quantitatively. A robotic model of the mastication system is developed according to biomechanical findings about the jaw structure and muscles of mastication, where each of the major muscles are, tempora...

In this paper, a novel four-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) hybrid parallel platform manipulator is presented. The movable platform of the parallel manipulator can translate along two directions and rotate around two axes respectively. The kinematics model is formulated, which describes the inverse kinematic transformation and forward kinematic transformation. A 5-axis parallel machine tool based on ...

A kinematic mapping of planar displacements is used to derive generalized constraint equations having the form of ruled quadric surfaces in the image space. The forward kinematic problem for all three legged, three degree of freedom planar parallel manipulators thus reduces to determining the points of intersection of three of these constraint surfaces, one corresponding to each leg. The invers...

In this paper, we present an integrated framework with easy and effective techniques to generate new motions of a character in real-time, using only a short segment of motion data. In this framework, a sequence of segment copies are strung together and then smoothed by a transition method at a junction of two consecutive segments. We use IK thought for the transition to solve the foot-slide pro...

Instantaneous poles are the spherical counterparts of instant centers; however, they are not completely used to study the kinematic behavior of spherical mechanisms. Instantaneous kinematics of a mechanism becomes undetermined when it is in a singular configuration (singularities); this indeterminacy has undesirable effects on static and motional behavior of the mechanism, so these configuratio...

We propose a novel Inverse Kinematics based deformation method that introduces flexibility and parameterization to motion graphs without degrading the quality of the synthesized motions. Our method deforms the transitions of a motion graph-like structure by first assigning to each transition a continuous rotational range that guarantees not to exceed the predefined global transition cost thresh...

We have measured the He(e, ep)H reaction at missing momenta of 130-300 MeV/c using the three-spectrometer facility at the Mainz microtron MAMI. Data were taken in perpendicular kinematics to allow us to determine the response function RLT and the asymmetry term ATL. The data are compared to both relativistic and non-relativistic calculations.
