This paper deals with the new results concerning the topologically decoupled parallel manipulators called PAMINSA. The conceptual design of these manipulators, in which the copying properties of pantograph linkage are used, allows obtaining a large payload capability. A newly synthesized fully

-demanding tasks from the literature on executive control produced decrements in prospective memory. In Experiment 3, attention was divided by different loads of articulatory suppression that did not ultimately lead to decrements in prospective memory. A high-load manipulation of a visuospatial task requiring

continuous control laws may be used to approximate the discontinuous control law to obtain robust tracking to within a prescribed accuracy and decrease the extent of high frequency signal. The method is applied to the control of a two-link manipulator handling variable loads in a flexible manufacturing

questionnaire. Results. There was a significant group-by-time effect for maximum leg press strength relative to body mass, with the training group significantly increasing their maximum relative strength (P <.05). No other significant interactions were noted (P>.05). Conclusions. Moderate volume, high-load

This thesis addresses the challenges of building a software system for general-purpose runtime code manipulation. Modern applications, with dynamically-loaded modules and dynamicallygenerated code, are assembled at runtime. While it was once feasible at compile time to observe and manipulate every

Parallel manipulators have the advantages of having low inertia high ngidity and high load capacity. These advantages are usefuI where high speed, payload and accuracy are required. With the expansion of the appiications oFparaiIe1 manipulators to areas such as space and medicai environrnents

portability and to be useful for pieces of software whose source code is not available. Furthermore, working at the bytecode level should be done while keeping high-level abstractions so that it can be useful to a wide audience. In this paper, we present Jinline, a tool that operates at load time through

Abstract — We present a successful implementation of rigid grasp manipulation for large objects moved along specified trajectories by a humanoid robot. HRP-2 manipulates tables on casters with a range of loads up to its own mass. The robot maintains dynamic balance by controlling its center

We describe the operation of a very small optical dipole trap that is designed to store and manipulate individual atoms. Due to the very small dipole trap volume, a “collisional blockade ” mechanism locks the average number of trapped atoms on the value 0.5 over a large range of loading rates. We
