Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS)
Journal of Road Safety, 2008 Vehicle safety features, such as anti-lock brakes, are sometimes promoted as the next ‘silver-bullet’ for road safety improvements. Research with thousands of drivers around the world, suggests that many of them are dangerously ignorant of what ABS ...

Matrix Stiffness Governs Fibroblasts’ Regulation of Gingival Immune Homeostasis
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study identifies a “mechano‐epigenetic” checkpoint in which matrix stiffness governs the immune responses of gingival fibroblasts. Using biomimetic hydrogels and human gingival explants, the studies revealed that restoring extracellular matrix stiffness actively suppresses inflammation via non‐canonical NF‐κB signaling and DNA methylation ...

Development of Heat Engines Powered by Twisted and Coiled Polymer Fiber Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Continuously rotating engines driven by thermally responsive actuating materials can turn waste heat into useful energy. For the first time heat engines operated by twisted and coiled polymer fiber actuators are demonstrated with engine design guided by two simple analytical models.

BASIC STUDY ON TAILORMADE BRAKING SUPPORT SYSTEM
IATSS Research, 2004 It is desirable for driving support systems to improve the safety of driver vehicle systems, and at the same time to have a performance that does not make individual drivers feel uncomfortable. Since human beings have various control characteristics, any

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can

International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research, 2023 In this project Super magnet brake is the innovative concept based on the magnetic attraction of the conducting metals. A super magnet brake, like a conventional friction brake, is responsible for slowing an object, such as a train or a roller coaster.

Review of antiskid and brake dynamics research [PDF]
, 1981 The behavior of various antiskid systems was investigated under controlled conditions. Results from utilizing a single main wheel of a DC-9 aircraft suggest that the systems investigated perform well under most circumstances but there may be room for ...
