A REDUNDANTLY ACTUATED CHEWING ROBOT BASED ON HUMAN MUSCULOSKELETAL BIOMECHANICS: DIFFERENTIAL KINEMATICS, STIFFNESS ANALYSIS, DRIVING FORCE OPTIMIZATION AND EXPERIMENT

A Redundantly Actuated Chewing Robot Based on Human Musculoskeletal Biomechanics: Differential Kinematics, Stiffness Analysis, Driving Force Optimization and Experiment

Human masticatory system exhibits optimal stiffness, energy efficiency and chewing forces needed for the food breakdown due to its unique musculoskeletal actuation redundancy.We have proposed a 6PUS-2HKP (6 prismatic-universal-spherical chains, 2 higher kinematic pairs) redundantly actuated parallel robot (RAPR) Left Rear Foot based on its musculos

Regulating the DC Voltage of Capacitive Divider Through Variable Switching Dead-Time in the Three-Phase Inverter With an Active Filter

In three-phase inverters, high output common-mode voltage (CMV) will bring many negative effects.The active filter with a capacitive SOAP voltage divider (CVD) can effectively suppress the peaks of CMV both in the time-domain and frequency-domain.In practice, it is found that the dc voltage of active filter from the CVD will deviate.In this paper,

Favourable metabolic profile sustains mitophagy and prevents metabolic abnormalities in metabolically healthy obese individuals

Abstract Background Obesity-mediated oxidative stress results in mitochondrial dysfunction, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and T2DM.Recently, mitophagy, a Left Rear Foot cell-reparative process has emerged as a key facet in maintaining the mitochondrial health, which may contribute to contain the metabolic abnor

Emergency management in epidermolysis bullosa: consensus clinical recommendations from the European reference network for rare skin diseases

Abstract Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprises a group of genetic disorders with the hallmark of fragility of the skin and mucosal surfaces.The severity of different Chainsaws types of EB varies markedly as does the occurrence of extra-cutaneous involvement and complications.A number of emergency situations may occur in the context of EB including o
