Abstract: In this paper, the application of Rapid Prototyping in fabricating non-assembly robotic systems and mechanisms is presented. Using two Rapid Prototyping techniques, Stereolithography and Selective ...

Abstract: Currently boundary representations (b-reps) are a convenient means to exchange solid models between applications (e.g., design, manufacturing, inspection) in a distributed/collaborative design ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a new approach to sequential quadratic programming. Upon application of the orthogonal-decomposition algorithm and the Gerschgorin Theorem for the stabilization of the Hessian ...

Abstract: As smaller companies in a wider range of industries seek to implement virtual reality (VR) in their product development cycles, they are presented with a wide range of choices for commercial ...

Abstract: The human femoral artery can bleed dangerously following the removal of a catheter during cardiac catheterization. In this study, a modified technique of needle insertion, simply inserting the ...

Abstract: In an assembly, degrees of freedom are realized by creating mating features that permit relative motion between parts. In complex assemblies, interactions between individual degrees of freedom ...
