This paper suggests that some of the reported changes in the Chandler frequency are associated with inelastic changes in the Earth. There has been controversy as to how much of the apparent secular polar drift is due to actual motion of the axis of rotation within the Earth, and how much it is merely the reflection of movements by certain observatories. Therefore, when more southern data are available it will be interesting to see whether similar results are obtained.

This chapter embarks on a study of the two-body problem in general relativity. In other words, it seeks to describe the motion of two compact, self-gravitating bodies which are far-separated and moving slowly. It limits the discussion to corrections proportional to v2 ~ m/R, the so-called post-Newtonian or 1PN corrections to Newton’s universal law of attraction. The chapter first examines the gravitational field, that is, the metric, created by the two bodies. It then derives the equations of motion, and finally the actual motion, that is, the post-Keplerian trajectories, which generalize the post-Keplerian geodesics obtained earlier in the chapter.

In this paper the orbital evolution of Trojan asteroids are studied by integrating numerically the equations of motion over the interval 1660–2060, perturbations from Venus to Pluto being taken into account. The comparison of the actual motion of Trojans in the solar system with the theory based on the restricted three-body problem are given.

When rotating stripes or other periodic stimuli cross the retina at a critical rate, a reversal in the direction of motion of the stimuli is often seen. This illusion of motion perception was used to explore the roles of retinal and perceived motion in the generation of optokinetic nystagmus. Here we show that optokinetic nystagmus is disrupted during the perception of this illusion. Thus, when perceived and actual motion are in conflict, subjects fail to track the veridical movement. This observation suggests that the perception of motion can directly influence optokinetic nystagmus, even in the presence of a moving retinal image. A conflict in the neural representation of motion in different brain areas may explain these findings.

The Lower DOF parallel robot rely on strictly geometrical constraints of axis of pairs in and between limbs to obtain the reduced number of DOF .In practice ,these constraints will never been perfectly fulfilled due to the inevitability of errors, and hence produce series bad effects and problems. Using screw theory and set theory as mathematical tools, the DOF and constraint system of 3-CRR parallel robot, were systematically summarized and in-depth studied. Kinematics design of a limited DOF parallel robot, a 3-CRR pure translational parallel robot, is presented that takes into account the error. The errors presented in the paper consist of two kinds. The errors is defined as the position error of rotation center of the platform caused by errors in the kinematics constants, such as axis error The above research results provided an insight into the error of 3CRR parallel robot.

The paper presents a study on fictive motion (FM) uses of motion verbs in English and slovene from the point of view of conveying path-related information. An FM expression describes a static scene in terms of motion (e.g. The road weaves through a range of hills). Motion verbs in FM uses do not describe actual motion events, but may refer to certain properties of the path by virtue of their meanings. English and slovene FM expressions exhibit different behaviours in this respect. Many English verbs display meaning components that can be metonymically mapped onto the properties of the path. The meanings of slovene verbs are less specific, so that such properties need to be expressed verb-externally in slovene FM expressions.

Taking certain CNC camshaft grinder as the subject its motion error analysis and modeling were studied. The movement forms and types of errors between the moving parts were analysed, the movement between coordinate systems of the adjacent bodies was used to express the movement between the two adjacent bodies, and the ideal motion equation and actual motion equation in case of errors between the adjacent bodies were set up. Actual motion equation between adjacent bodies was made and further extended to analyse arbitrary low-order body arrays, which provides a theoretical basis for studying the multi-branch CNC camshaft grinding machine error modeling. Complex multi-branch chain CNC camshaft grinder simplified was made as a simple multibody system, and corresponding body coordinate systems and motion reference coordinate systems for moving parts were established to calculate the corresponding transformation matrix between adjacent bodies. Moving parts of the machine were divided into “workpieces-bed” and “wheel-bed” two kinematic chains. The precision constraint equation of the machine is Pt = Pw in case of using errors influence, and the constraint equation was solved. It provides necessary conditions for study of CNC camshaft grinder error compensation. Results show that the machine precision is significantly improved after error compensation.

Your classic Jaguar XK 120 stands useless by the roadside. Why? Because you gave priority to the admittedly gorgeous 6 cylinder straight six engine; because you privileged the highest value part. Rubber pipes perish, though, and now thanks to a leak in a cheap hose the head gasket has blown. You are stranded and facing a costly bill. More seriously, your mechanical gaffe is a sign of your misunderstanding of Deleuze. Like Sir William Lyons, he engineers systems where the concept of priority must not be confused with independence, separateness, abstraction or ethical superiority. As a good engineer, Deleuze's constructions are holistic and opposed to abstract hierarchies: if a crucial small, actual part perishes in a particular practical situation where it has a role to play, then it does not matter how much virtual power you have in reserve. Your feet are still in a pool of hot water as you survey the wasted potential of actual motion and ideal expressions, hand made in Coventry.
