In this study, six coordination polymers (CPs), {[Ag2(L)(CF3SO3)]·CF3SO3·2H2O·DMF}n (1), {[Ag(L)]·SbF6·4DMF·H2O}n (2), {[Zn(L)0.5(I)2]·3.75H2O}n (3), {[Cd2(L)(I)4(H2O)(DMF)]·4H2O·3DMF}n (4), {[Hg2(L)(I)4]·H2O·4DMF}n (5) and {[Hg2(L)(Cl)4]·2H2O·3DMF}n (6), were obtained based on the designed X-shaped urea-based ligand. X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis revealed that complex 1 displayed a 3D (3,4)-connected {6·82}{64·82}-tcj net. Complex 2 featured a 2D 4-connected {43·63} sheet. Complexes 3 and 5 exhibited a 1D polymeric loop chain. Complex 4 displayed a 1D polymeric fishbone chain. Complex 6 showed a 2D 4-connected {44·62}-sql sheet. Structural comparison revealed that not only the metal ions, but also the anions played crucial roles in the control of final structures.

Abstract The characteristics of linear transmission mechanisms are studied. Using the characteristics, the kinematic and synthesis of linear transmission mechanisms are expanded. First, the synthesis of mechanisms with prismatic joints in the equivalent open-loop chain is developed. Then the kinematics and synthesis of mechanisms with coupled joint motion are also derived. Two coupled mechanisms are used as examples to demonstrate the application potential in the industry.

In this paper, the motion equivalent chain method is proposed and then applied to the type synthesis of a class of 2R2T parallel mechanism. The equivalent serial chains are synthesized for a specific 2R2T motion pattern based on screw theory. Feasible limb structures that provide a constraint couple and a constraint force are enumerated according to the reciprocity of the twist and wrench systems. Several motion equivalent single loop chains are constructed with the equivalent serial chains. Using motion equivalent single loop chains to replace the equivalent serial chains, a class of 2R2T parallel mechanisms is obtained based on the foundation of motion equivalent single loop chain structures.

Kinematically indeterminate linkages are those whose complete set of instant centers cannot be obtained by Kennedy’s theorem. A linkage of this kind is often characterized as having no four-bar loop, or even if one exists, it does not lead to the finding of all other instant centers in the multiple-loop chain. This paper presents a simple graphical method for dealing with many of these linkages. While not altering the total degrees of freedom of the linkage, a virtual cam is introduced to help locate some key instant centers. This method also lends itself to applications along with Pennock’s method to achieve greater usability.

This work focuses on the implementation of innovative adaptive strategies and a closed-loop chain in a piston-damage-based combustion controller. In the previous paper (Part 1), implemented models and the open loop algorithm are described and validated by reproducing some vehicle maneuvers at the engine test cell. Such controller is further improved by implementing self-learning algorithms based on the analytical formulations of knock and the combustion model, to update the fuel Research Octane Number (RON) and the relationship between the combustion phase and the spark timing in real-time. These strategies are based on the availability of an on-board indicating system for the estimation of both the knock intensity and the combustion phase index. The equations used to develop the adaptive strategies are described in detail. A closed-loop chain is then added, and the complete controller is finally implemented in a Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) device. The controller is validated with specific tests defined to verify the robustness and the accuracy of the adaptive strategies. Results of the online validation process are presented in the last part of the paper and the accuracy of the complete controller is finally demonstrated. Indeed, error between the cyclic and the target combustion phase index is within the range ±0.5 Crank Angle degrees (°CA), while the error between the measured and the calculated maximum in-cylinder pressure is included in the range ±5 bar, even when fuel RON or spark advance map is changing.

The ‘Isenbüttel gold necklace’, now in the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover, was found almost a century ago in Lower Saxony, an area with no history of early medieval gold finds or richly furnished burials. As no parallels are known for the object, scholars have long debated the dating, provenance and function of this unique loop-in-loop chain, with its animal-head terminals and garnet cloisonné. Recent excavations of Anglo-Saxon cemeteries dating to the seventh century have, however, added new finds to the small corpus of objects known as ‘pin suites’, consisting of comparatively short pins perhaps designed to fix a veil or a light shawl in the collar area, with ornate pinheads, linked by chains. This paper focuses on Anglo-Saxon pin suites from high-status burials of the second half of the seventh century and seeks to set the finds group in its wider social and historical context, revealing the far-reaching relationships that existed between early medieval elites.

This paper explores the fundamentals of parallel robots with configurable platforms (PRCP), as well as the design and the kinematic analysis of those. The concept behind PRCP is that the rigid (non-configurable) end-effector is replaced by a closed-loop chain, the configurable platform. The use of a closed-loop chain allows the robot to interact with the environment from multiple contact points on the platform, which reflects the presence of multiple end-effectors. This results in a robot that successfully combines motion and grasping capabilities into a structure that provides an inherent high stiffness. This paper aims to introduce the QuadroG robot, a 4 degrees of freedom PRCP which finely merges planar motion together with grasping capabilities.

Abstract This paper proposes and proves the concept of invariant link rotatability between any two links, adjoined or not, in planar single-loop kinematic chains. It was found that in any planar single-loop chain formed by a set of links and revolute joints, the rotatability between any two links, whether they are adjoined or not, is independent of the order of links connection. Simple and general approaches were also proposed to identify the exact rotatability between any two links of a single-loop N-bar chain. When a non-revolvable link reaches the limit orientation with respect to another non-revolvable link, disregard whether they are adjoined or not, all other links become collinear or parallel to each other. This paper fully extends Ting’s rotatability laws to deal with the rotatability between two non-adjoined links.
