Using Lightweight Inference to Solve Lightweight Problems [PDF]
Traditionally, Logic Programming and related Non-monotonic Reasoning formalisms have mainly been applied to "hard" AI problems, such as planning, scheduling, constraint solving, belief revision, etc. In the real world of software engineering, however, these hard problems are vastly outnumbered by more mundane tasks.

When a suspension passes through a high-frequency standing sound wave, the particles it contains are manipulated by acoustic forces. In a one-dimensional sound field, these forces lead to a planar arrangement of the particles and the formation of ...

How much matter is there in the universe? Does the universe have the critical density needed to stop its expansion, or is the universe underweight and destined to expand forever? We show that several independent measures, especially those utilizing the largest bound systems known—clusters of galaxies—all indicate that the mass-density of the universe ...

Damage-induced changes in elastic stiffness of DP800 sheets at large strains [PDF]
Damage is associated with the performance of formed components. Quantifying its influence is challenging due to interactions with other product properties such as strain hardening, texture and residual stresses.

Lightweight modular orthosis [PDF]
Background and highlights are presented concerning the development of a new orthotic system judged to be "the most outstanding innovation in prosthetics and/or orthotics practice" during the 1986-1989 period. The first Brian Blatchford Prize was awarded at the Sixth World Congress of ISPO held in Kobe, Japan. November 12-17, 1989.
