This paper proposes SSM(Sensor Steering Mechanism) for lateral guided vehicle with rear wheel steering mechanism. Authors demonstrated the geometry of SSM for the front wheel steer type and the reverse phase four-wheel steer type one. SSM presents a stable lateral guiding performance for automated vehicle which follows a straight and curved path created by guideway. The other hand, SSM is not e...

Cell migration is driven by the establishment of disparity between the cortical properties of the softer front and the more rigid rear allowing front extension and actomyosin-based rear contraction. However, how the cortical actin meshwork in the rear is generated remains elusive. Here we identify the mDia1-like formin A (ForA) from Dictyostelium discoideum that generates a subset of filaments ...

The simulation of external aerodynamics is one of the most challenging and important automotive CFD applications. With the rapid developments of digital computers, CFD is used as a practical tool in modern fluid dynamics research. It integrates fluid mechanics disciplines, mathematics and computer science. In this study, two different types of simulations were made, one for the flow around a si...

Analysis of genotypes for genetic predisposition of diseases has profound and widespread clinical application and has become a fundamental tool in the study of molecular epidemiology. In this study, we report a convenient and completely noninvasive approach to perform genotyping using terminal cephalic hair shaft. The average and median DNA amounts purified from the hair shaft are 112 180 (1 SD...

-In the present work an attempt is made to evaluate the suitability of composite material such as E-Glass/Epoxy and HMCarbon/Epoxy for the purpose of automotive transmission applications. A one-piece composite drive shaft for automobile is designed and analyzed using ANSYS software respectively for E-Glass/ Epoxy and HM-Carbon/Epoxy composites with the objective of minimization of weight of the...

OBJECTIVE The North Dakota Legislature recently passed a law exempting the state's agricultural truck fleet from a federal safety program requirement for rear-guard equipment on large trucks. This equipment has been shown to reduce crash severity when a passenger vehicle collides with the rear of the truck. This study uses truck fleet, truck crash, and injury severity data to estimate the publi...

Guaranteeing transaction semantics in a highly available and fault tolerant manner is desirable to application developers. Besides, it is a very valuable feature for database-backed applications. SHAFT is a pessimistic concurrency control protocol for partitioned and replicated data, which can be distributed across multiple datacenters. Laying its basis on the Paxos algorithm, the SHAFT protoco...

The aim of this study was to quantify and explain the effect of shaft stiffness on the dynamics of golf drives. Twenty golfers performed swings with two clubs designed to differ only in shaft bending stiffness. Wrist kinematics and clubhead presentation to the ball were determined using optical motion capture systems in conjunction with a radar device for capturing ball speed, launch angle, and...

The torsional stress is caused by interaction between electrical transient air-gap torque by electrical disturbances and mechanical torque of turbine-generator shaft system. If a transient shaft torque exceeds a certain threshold, the loss of fatigue life occurs and in the end it is possible to happen shaft failure. This paper discusses that which factors can damage to turbine-generator shaft a...
