DYNAMIC BALANCING

Journal of the American Society for Naval Engineers, 1918
A detailed description of the method developed and used at Mare Island for dynamically balancing the rotating elements (four rotors, one large reduction gear and two propellers) of the turbine propelling machinery U. S. S. “Shaw.”

Dynamic balance in elite karateka

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2015
In karate, balance control represents a key performance determinant. With the hypothesis that high-level athletes display advanced balance abilities, the purpose of the current study was to quantitatively investigate the motor strategies adopted by elite and non-elite karateka to maintain balance control in competition.

Animating smoke with dynamic balance

Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds, 2005
AbstractWe propose a numerical method for maintaining a dynamic rolling motion of animated gaseous phenomena, such as smoke, that avoids dissipation due to numerical error. We compensate for the errors induced by a semi‐Lagrangian scheme using an error estimate for each time interval.

Specificity of Learning and Dynamic Balance

Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1996
Contrary to a strict specificity of learning position, Robertson, Collins, Elliott, and Starkes (1994) have reported that the balance beam performance of expert gymnasts is less affected by the withdrawal of vision than is the performance of novice gymnasts.

On the theory of dynamic load balancing

GLOBECOM '03. IEEE Global Telecommunications Conference (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37489), 2004
Many interesting dynamic load balancing schemes have been proposed for efficient use of the available frequency spectrum, and, in particular, to increase the capacity of congested or hot cells in a cellular network. We provide a simple theoretical framework which leads to closed-form expressions for evaluating the performance of some of the most ...

Simulating crowds with balance dynamics

ACM SIGGRAPH 2005 Posters on - SIGGRAPH '05, 2005
The dynamics of walking dramatically influences the behaviors of pedestrians, yet few details of human biomechanics and walking control are addressed in crowd animations developed for virtual environments and scientific applications. People cannot stop or start instantaneously and their movements reflect an attention to balance as well as other ...

Dynamic balance concept and the maintenance of the dynamic balance in humanoid robotics

2008 6th International Symposium on Intelligent Systems and Informatics, 2008
One of basic characteristics of regular bipedal walk of humanoid robots is the maintenance of their dynamic balance during the walk, whereby a decisive role is played by the unpowered degrees of freedom arising at the foot-ground contact. Hence, the role of Zero-Moment Point (ZMP) as an indicator of dynamic balance is indispensable.

Load balancing in dynamic networks

7th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms and Networks, 2004. Proceedings., 2004
Efficient load balancing algorithms are the key to many efficient parallel applications. Until now, research in this area mainly focused on static networks. However, observations show that diffusive algorithms, originally designed for these networks, can also be applied in nonstatic scenarios.

Dynamic Serious Games Balancing

2016
The user’s interest in a game is difficult to be raised and even more difficult to be maintained. The game must be addictive and correspond to the users’ interest to make sure he/she doesn’t feel attracted to other competing games. Therefore specific, user-adapted mechanisms are necessary to keep their interest and motivation.
