Static balancing behaviour of the mandible
European Journal of Oral Sciences, 2015The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of physiological control of the craniomandibular system during force‐controlled biting: in intercuspation, restricted by predetermined anatomic–geometrical conditions [i.e. biting in intercuspation (BIC)]; and on a hydrostatic system [i.e.

Abstract Conventional brakes require a powerful actuator, leading to large, heavy and in most cases energy consuming brakes. This paper introduces a fundamentally different brake concept called statically balanced brakes (SBBs). SBBs do not require any actuation force to maintain a braking torque and only have to move a small mass to vary that torque.

The Role of Peripheral Vision in Static Balancing
Ergonomics, 1967Abstract A study was made to determine the role of peripheral vision in static balancing. Three groups of subjects were tested under sighted and blindfold conditions, and also under a minimal cues condition. One of these groups was trained in the use of peripheral vision and after five days achieved sighted competence under the minimal cues condition ...

A static workload balance scheduling algorithm
Proceedings. International Conference on Parallel Processing Workshop, 2003This article studies a static scheduling method based on workload balancing. An equation is presented for the case when the workload is equally distributed onto all the processors. An efficient load balance scheduling algorithm is developed assuming that the workload has certain properties.

Static balancing of planar parallel manipulators
Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002In this paper, the static balancing of planar parallel manipulators is addressed. Static balancing is defined here as the set of conditions on manipulator dimensional and inertial parameters which, when satisfied, ensure that the weight of the links does not produce any force (or torque) at the actuators for any configuration of the manipulator, under ...

Succinct Representation of Balanced Parentheses and Static Trees
SIAM Journal on Computing, 2001We consider the implementation of abstract data types for the static objects: binary tree, rooted ordered tree, and a balanced sequence of parentheses. Our representations use an amount of space within a lower order term of the information theoretic minimum and support, in constant time, a richer set of navigational operations than has previously been ...

Statically balanced direct drive manipulator
Robotica, 1989SUMMARYA practical architecture, using a four-bar-linkage, is considered for the University of Minnesota direct drive rotot. This statically-balanced direct drive robot has been constructed for stability analysis of the robot in constrained maneuvers.2–6As a result of the elimination of the gravity forces (without any counter weights), smaller ...

Static balance and developmental coordination disorder
Human Movement Science, 2003The development of static balance is a basic characteristic of normal motor development. Most of the developmental motor tests include a measure of static balance. Children with a developmental coordination disorder (DCD) often fail this item. Twenty-four children at risk for DCD with balance problems (DCD-BP) and 24 matched control children in the age

On the Impedance of Statically-Balanced Mechanisms
Volume 6: 35th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, Parts A and B, 2011Statically-balanced technology is often used to compensate partial or full gravity force exerting on a mechanism in order to reduce the effort of driving the mechanism. Since such compensation is static, when a statically-balanced mechanism is used for dynamic applications, it will still have impedance (mechanical resistance to input motion) because ...

Static Balancing of Tensegrity Mechanisms
Volume 7: 29th Mechanisms and Robotics Conference, Parts A and B, 2005The computation of the equilibrium configurations of tensegrity mechanisms is often a very tedious task even for relatively simple architectures. However, it has been observed that the complexity of this problem is significantly reduced when gravitational loads are compensated with the use of static balancing techniques.
