Linkage are composed of links and lower pairs. The simplest closed-loop linkage is the four-bar linkage, which has three moving links, one fixed link and four pin joints. A linkage with one link fixed ...

"We look at people like Jack Pidgeon or the public school teacher who stretched the envelope for 30 years as exceptions, as anachronisms, because only the toughest can make a life of it. And that's ...

(eq x y) is true if and only if x and y are the same identical object. (Implementationally, x and y are usually eq if and only if they address the same identical memory location.) It should be noted ...

You will remember there was no road--not even a pathway-- between the castle of the Wicked Witch and the Emerald City. When the four travelers went in search of the Witch she had seen them coming, and ...

Research Interests My most recent work focuses on 3D perception in the context of robotic manipulation. My thesis addresses several aspects of contact-rich robotic manipulation including mechanics ...

A wheel provided with suitably shaped teeth, receiving an intermittent circular motion from an oscillating or reciprocating member, is called a ratchet wheel. A simple form of ratchet mechanism is ...

Zipf's law is a neat, general fact about word frequency distribution. G K Zipf discovered that the frequency of the kth most frequent word is proportional to 1/k (Human Behavior and the Principle of ...
