In this paper, a mechanical device is introduced, which changes the driving direction of the force through a conical gear, so as to achieve the goal of simulating the actual working state of the kitchen water TAP and improve the accuracy of detection.

In this article, an analytical solution is obtained for the problem of bending a semi-infinite plate on an elastic Winkler base, taking into account incomplete contact with the base and the influence of longitudinal forces applied in the middle plane of the plate. The analytical solution is obtained by the method of generalized solutions using integral Fourier transforms. Any analytical solution is the result, approaching the actual working conditions of the designed structures.

Introduction: In this paper, a robust sliding mode controller is developed to control an orthosis used for rehabilitation of lower limb. Materials and Methods: The orthosis is defined as a mechanical device intended to physically assist a human subject for the realization of his movements. It should be adapted to the human morphology, interacting in harmony with its movements, and providing the necessary efforts along the limbs to which it is attached. Results: The application of the sliding mode control to the Shank-orthosis system shows satisfactory dynamic response and tracking performances. Conclusion: In fact, position tracking and speed tracking errors are very small. The sliding mode controller effectively absorbs disturbance and parametric variations, hence the efficiency and robustness of our applied control.

Introduction: We tested whether a mechanical device (such as Hipsecure) to pinpoint the anterior pelvic plane (APP) as a guide can improve acetabular cup placement. To assess accuracy we asked: (1) is the APP an effective guide to position acetabular cup placement within acceptable ° of divergence from the optimal 40° inclination and 15° anteversion; (2) could a mechanical device increase the number of acetabular cup placements within Lewinnek’s safe zone (i.e. inclination 30° to 50°; anteversion 5° to 25°)? Methods: 16 cadaveric specimens were used to assess the 3D surgical success of using a mechanical device APP to guide acetabular cup placement along the APP. We used the Hipsecure mechanical device to implant acetabular cups at 40° inclination and 15° anteversion. Subequently, all cadaveric specimens with implants were scanned with a CT and 3D models were created of the pelvis and acetabular cups to assess the outcome in terms of Lewinnek’s safe zones. Results: The mean inclination of the 16 implants was 40.6° (95% CI, 37.7–43.4) and the mean anteversion angle was 13.4° (95% CI, 10.7–16.1). All 16 cup placements were within Lewinnek’s safe zone for inclination (between 30° and 50°) and all but 2 were within Lewinnek’s safe zone for anteversion (between 5° and 25°). Conclusion: In cadaveric specimens, the use of a mechanical device and the APP as a guide for acetabular cup placement resulted in good positioning with respect to both of Lewinnek’s safe zones.

A novel design for skew conical involute gear drives in approximate line contact is proposed. Such a drive has a contact ellipse with a large major-to-minor-axis ratio, which allows it to overcome the weakness of conical gear drives for application in power transmission. This gearing design approach is characterized by reduced edge contact sensitivity and increased surface durability. The edge contact sensitivity that can arise with this kind of gear drive due to assembly or manufacturing errors is evaluated by analysing the value of the shift of the line of action caused by such errors. The surface durability is evaluated by calculating the Hertz stress. Some guidelines are developed based on the analysis of the influence of the gearing parameters on the edge contact sensitivity and the surface durability made possible using this design approach for conical gear drives in the approximate line contact. The guidelines are summarized and, finally, a practical example is given to demonstrate the feasibility of the approximate line contact design.

Abstract The prototype extensometer, which has now been in constant use for over a year, gives satisfactory results which compare favorably with those of the conventional method. The use of this extensometer, which is a simple mechanical device, robust and reliable in operation, removes the last obstacle from autographic recording of tests using dumbbell specimens, thus permitting a considerable increase in speed of tensile testing.

The early Principate tends to be interpreted in terms of the constitutional forms in which it was clothed and the administrative innovations which it brought, to the neglect of those, largely unchanged, social and economic factors which shaped the actual working of Roman politics. In no area has this tendency been more obvious than in works dealing with the Fiscus, which has thus been seen as an alternative ‘state treasury’ created at a given moment, by Augustus, perhaps in 21 or 20 B.C., by Tiberius, or by Claudius, which absorbed the revenues of the imperial provinces, and some indirect taxes. It is also seen as an administrative unit (like a Treasury, or a University Chest) concerned with the handling of an area of public finance.
