Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Monogamy of entanglement without inequalities [PDF]

, 2018
We provide a fine-grained definition for monogamous measure of entanglement that does not invoke any particular monogamy relation. Our definition is given in terms an equality, as oppose to inequality, that we call the "disentangling condition".

Migration characteristics and disaster reduction and erosion prevention mechanism of thick and hard roof in deep filling mining

Meitan kexue jishu
To address the issue of rock burst disasters induced by the fracture of thick-hard roof strata, focuses on deep thick and hard roof. By integrating theoretical analysis, engineering experiments, and field monitoring, the fracture characteristics of thick-

Study on Fracture and Stress Evolution Characteristics of Ultra-Thick Hard Sandstone Roof in the Fully Mechanized Mining Face with Large Mining Height: A Case Study of Xiaojihan Coal Mine in Western China

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2018
Ultra-thick hard sandstone roofs present high thickness, poor delamination, and wide caving range. The strata pressure of the working face during actual mining increases, having a significant influence on the safe mining of the working face.

An Evaluation of Mortality Rates and Their Determinants in a Cohort of Former Asbestos Miners in South Africa

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A causal association between occupational asbestos exposure and lung disease, including pneumoconiosis and mesothelioma, is well established. Elevated mortality among former asbestos miners is expected. However, large‐scale South African studies examining all‐cause mortality in this population are lacking.

Fracture instability and pre-splitting weakening characteristics of composite hard roof under mining action

Meitan xuebao
In the process of mining, the elastic energy release of hard roof breaking is easy to induce impact disaster. In particular, there are multi-layer hard roofs above the coal seams in the Shaanxi-Inner Mongolia region.

Mixed State Entanglement Measures for Intermediate Separability

, 2009
To determine whether a given multipartite quantum state is separable with respect to some partition we construct a family of entanglement measures R_m. This is done utilizing generalized concurrences as building blocks which are defined by flipping of M ...
