Shlall RACING CARS.* by HN CHARLES, B.Sc.7
500 THE INSTITUTION OF AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERS. ShlALL RACING CARS.* By H. N. CHARLES, B.Sc.7 (ASSOCIATEMEMBER.) February, 1935. INTRODUCTION. It is undeniable that everybody with a normal sense of values enjoys a clean sporting contest of any kind between adversaries who are fairly and evenly matched. To make the contest a real test of merit it must take place in public, and must be in accordance with the accepted rules. The above requirements are met by motor racing, since thousands of people witness the great long-distance motor races of the present day. The rules usually are also comparatively strict, and fine sportsmanship frequently exists in addition, in connexion with honouring the unwritten rules of the motor racing game. It has been the author’s good fortune during the last few years to be entrusted with the dcsigning of a number of types of what, for the want of a better term, may be briefly described as “ small racing cars.” The work, as it happens, has been entirely carried out for one Company, whose drawing office and experimental depart- ment are combined under his care. Having previously been in daily contact at different times with motor-cycle engines, airship engines, both rotary and stationary aeroplane engines, and a variety of accessories connected with the various types, it was at first some- what difficult to go back to the beginning and start with small engines all over again, but there is a great fascination about these small units, because they provide an almost ideal ground for experiment, the cost of which is greatly reduced by the small size of the parts involved. -

Design Considerations for Robotic Needle Steering∗
Proceedings of the 2005 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation Barcelona, Spain, April 2005 Design Considerations for Robotic Needle Steering∗ Robert J. Webster III, Jasenka Memisevic, and Allison M. Okamura Department of Mechanical Engineering Engineering Research Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology The Johns Hopkins University Baltimore, MD, 21218 USA [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract— Many medical procedures involve the use of In our systems, the steering effect is caused by the needles, but targeting accuracy can be limited due to obstacles asymmetry of a bevel tip on a flexible needle [9], [11]. in the needle’s path, shifts in target position caused by Lateral motion and tissue deformation can also cause tissue deformation, and undesired bending of the needle after insertion. In order to address these limitations, we have steering, although our systems do not explicitly employ developed robotic systems that actively steer a needle in those techniques. Clinically, needles are manually steered soft tissue. A bevel (asymmetric) tip causes the needle to through a combination of lateral, twisting, and inserting bend during insertion, and steering is enhanced when the motions under visual feedback from imaging systems such needle is very flexible. An experimental needle steering robot as ultrasound [13]. However, these techniques can yield was designed that includes force/torque sensing, horizontal needle insertion, stereo image data acquisition, and controlled inconsistent results and are difficult to learn. Physicians actuation of needle rotation and translation. Experiments also sometimes continually spin bevel tip needles during were performed with a phantom tissue to determine the effects insertion to prevent them from bending. -

1700 Animated Linkages
Nguyen Duc Thang 1700 ANIMATED MECHANICAL MECHANISMS With Images, Brief explanations and Youtube links. Part 1 Transmission of continuous rotation Renewed on 31 December 2014 1 This document is divided into 3 parts. Part 1: Transmission of continuous rotation Part 2: Other kinds of motion transmission Part 3: Mechanisms of specific purposes Autodesk Inventor is used to create all videos in this document. They are available on Youtube channel “thang010146”. To bring as many as possible existing mechanical mechanisms into this document is author’s desire. However it is obstructed by author’s ability and Inventor’s capacity. Therefore from this document may be absent such mechanisms that are of complicated structure or include flexible and fluid links. This document is periodically renewed because the video building is continuous as long as possible. The renewed time is shown on the first page. This document may be helpful for people, who - have to deal with mechanical mechanisms everyday - see mechanical mechanisms as a hobby Any criticism or suggestion is highly appreciated with the author’s hope to make this document more useful.

Electric Tricycle Project: Appropriate Mobility
Electric Tricycle Project: Appropriate Mobility Final Design Report 10 May 2004 Daniel Dourte David Sandberg Tolu Ogundipe Abstract The goal of the Electric Tricycle Project is to bring increased mobility to disabled persons in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Presently, hand-powered tricycles are used by many of the disabled in this community, but some current users of the hand-powered tricycles do not have the physical strength or coordination to propel themselves on the tricycle with their arms and hands. The aim of this project is to add an electric power train and control system to the current hand-powered tricycle to provide tricycle users with improved levels of mobility, facilitating freedom in travel and contribution to the community. The design objectives required a simple and affordable design for the power train and controls, a design that needed to be reliable, sustainable, and functional. In response to the request from an SIM missionary at the Handicap Center in Mahadaga, Burkina Faso, Dokimoi Ergatai (DE) committed to designing and supplying a kit to add electric motor power to the current tricycle design, and we, David Sandberg, Tolulope Ogundipe, and Daniel Dourte partnered with DE in their commitment. Our project was advised by Dr. Donald Pratt and Mr. John Meyer. 2 Table of Contents Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………… P. 4 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………… P. 4 1.1 Description...……………………………………………………………… P. 6 1.2 Literature Review………………………………………………………… P. 7 1.3 Solution…………………………………………………………………… P. 10 2 Design Process……………………………………………………………… P. 13 3 Implementation……………………………………………………………..
