On the danger of redundancies in some aerospace mechanisms [PDF]
An attempt is made to show that redundancies in some aerospace mechanisms do not generally improve the odds for success. Some of these redundancies may even be the very cause for failure of the system. To illustrate this fallacy, two designs based on the

Angular Velocity Analysis of an Epicyclic Gear Train Using Fundamental Circuits and a Block Diagram [PDF]
The prediction of angular velocity is a prerequisite to investigate the power flow and mechanical efficiency of an epicyclic gear train. This paper presents a useful tool, which combines the fundamental circuit and a block diagram, to analyze the angular

A ~4.6 h quasi-periodic oscillation in the BL Lacertae PKS 2155-304?
We report a possible detection of an ~4.6-hour quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the 0.3-10 keV emission of the high-energy peaked blazar PKS 2155-304 from a 64 ks observation by the XMM-Newton EPIC/pn detector. We identify a total modulation of ~5% in
