Kinesin's walk: Springy or gated head coordination?

Biosystems, 2009
Conventional kinesin (kinesin-1) is a motor protein that performs a vital function in the eukaryotic cell: it actively transports cargo to required destinations. Kinesin pulls cargo along microtubule tracks using twin linked motor domains (heads) that bind the microtubule, hydrolyse ATP, and alternately step forward.

A springy pendulum could describe the swing leg kinetics of human walking

Journal of Biomechanics, 2016
The dynamics of human walking during various walking conditions could be qualitatively captured by the springy legged dynamics, which have been used as a theoretical framework for bipedal robotics applications. However, the spring-loaded inverted pendulum model describes the motion of the center of mass (CoM), which combines the torso, swing and stance

Control of a Quadruped Robot with Bionic Springy Legs in Trotting Gait

Journal of Bionic Engineering, 2014
Legged robots have better performance on discontinuous terrain than that of wheeled robots. However, the dynamic trotting and balance control of a quadruped robot is still a challenging problem, especially when the robot has multi-joint legs. This paper presents a three-dimensional model of a quadruped robot which has 6 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) on ...

Springy ankle tether saves runners’ legs

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2019
![Figure][1] An athlete running with a springy ankle tether on a treadmill. Photo credit: Cara Welker and Cole Simpson. If you're not a natural runner, it takes a lot of effort to get out and pound the streets; and that's not just my personal opinion. ‘Human running is inefficient’,

Speaker Normalization Via Springy Discriminant Analysis and Pitch Estimation

2007
Speaker normalization techniques are widely used to improve the accuracy of speaker independent speech recognition. One of the most popular group of such methods is Vocal Tract Length Normalization (VTLN). These methods try to reduce the inter-speaker variability by transforming the input feature vectors into a more compact domain, to achieve better ...

MISCONCEPTION ABOUT THE "SPRINGINESS" OF THE LONGITUDINAL ARCH OF THE FOOT

Archives of Surgery, 1943
From the earliest days of anatomic knowledge the longitudinal arching of the foot has been looked on as designed to provide resilience and has been compared in its shape and function to a spring. This view is expounded in the classic textbooks of anatomy, and has been retained by more contemporary writers, as the term "spring ligament" implies.

Springy Fields: An Entrepreneur's Dilemma

2015
Entrepreneur Tom Wilson has a dilemma: he must decide how to expand Springy Fields, his adult sport and recreation business. After the economic aftermath of 9/11 cost Tom his structural engineering job, he decided to turn his side business of running a spring and summer Ultimate Frisbee league into his full-time job.
