Differential Spiral Joint Mechanism for Coupled Variable Stiffness Actuation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In this study, we present the Differential Spiral Joint (DSJ) mechanism for variable stiffness actuation in tendon-driven robots. The DSJ mechanism semi-decouples the modulation of position and mechanical stiffness, allowing independent trajectory tracking in different parameter space. Past studies show that increasing the mechanical stiffness achieves

Thermodynamics for Trajectories of a Mass Point [PDF]
, 2014 On the basis of information theory, a new formalism of classical non-relativistic mechanics of a mass point is proposed. The particle trajectories of a general dynamical system defined on an (1+n)-dimensional smooth manifold are treated geometrically as ...

Cactus Mechanisms: Optimal Differential Privacy Mechanisms in the Large-Composition Regime [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Most differential privacy mechanisms are applied (i.e., composed) numerous times on sensitive data. We study the design of optimal differential privacy mechanisms in the limit of a large number of compositions. As a consequence of the law of large numbers, in this regime the best privacy mechanism is the one that minimizes the Kullback-Leibler ...

The mechanism of dishabituation [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 The dual-process theory of habituation attributes dishabituation, an increase in responding to a habituated stimulus after an interpolated deviant, to sensitization, a change in arousal. Our previous investigations into elicitation and habituation of the electrodermal orienting reflex (OR) showed that dishabituation is independent of sensitization for ...

Mechanics and Mathematics in Ancient Greece
Encyclopedia, 2022 This entry presents an overview on how mechanics in Greece was linked to geometry. In ancient Greece, mechanics was about lifting heavy bodies, and mathematics almost coincided with geometry.

Local Priority Mechanisms [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We introduce a novel family of mechanisms for constrained allocation problems which we call local priority mechanisms. These mechanisms are parameterized by a function which assigns a set of agents, the local compromisers, to every infeasible allocation. The mechanism then greedily attempts to match agents with their top choices. Whenever it reaches an

Probability in Orthodox Quantum Mechanics: Probability as a Postulate Versus Probability as an Emergent Phenomenon [PDF]
, 2000 The role of probability in quantum mechanics is reviewed, with a discussion of the ``orthodox'' versus the statistical interpretive frameworks, and of a number of related issues. After a brief summary of sources of unease with quantum mechanics, a survey

Sacramental Engines: The Trinitarian Ontology of Computers in Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine
Religions, 2022 Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine can be recollected as a fossilized image of the first digital computer. It is essentially distinguished from all prior and analog computers by the transcription of the ‘mechanical notation’, the separation of the ...
