The traditional robot manipulators are actuated by continuous range of motion actuators such as motors or hydraulic cylinders. However, there are many applications of mechanisms and robotic manipulators where only a finite number of locations need to be reached, and the robot's trajectory is not important as long as it is bounded. Binary manipulator uses actuators which have only two stable states. As a result, binary manipulators have a finite number of states. The number of states of a binary manipulator grows exponentially with the number of actuators. This kind of robot manipulator has some advantage compared to a traditional one. Feedback control is not required, task repeatability can be very high, and finite state actuators are generally inexpensive. And this kind of robot manipulator has a fault tolerant mechanism because of kinematic redundancy. This paper develops algorithms for kinematics and workspace analysis of a binary manipulator.

This paper presents an end-point control of 1-link flexible arm tip-mass by using fuzzy position control algorithm. The arm is mounted on a translational mechanism driven by a ballscrew, whose rotation is controlled by a DC servomotor. Tip position is controlled so that it follows a desired position. Feedback signal is composed of both tip displacement error and change of error. This paper gives tip responses according to the variations of tip-mass and beam length, and the effects of reducing the residual vibrations occurring at the end-point. In the case of the residual vibrations of tip displacement, fuzzy control has better results than the PD-control.

A novel three degrees of freedom sensing method utilizing binary grid pattern image and vision camera is presented. The binary grid pattern image is designed by Pseudo-Random Binary Arrays and referenced to encode in-plane position of a moving stage of the contact-free planar actuator. First, the yaw motion of the stage is detected using fast image processing and then the other planar positions, x and y, are decoded with a sequence of images. This method can be applied to the system that needs feedback of in-plane position, with advantages of a good accuracy and high resolution comparable with the encoder, a relatively compact structure, no friction, and a low cost. In this paper, all the procedures of the above sensing mechanism are described in detail, including simulation and experiment results.

This paper shows a method for design of the nano-positioning planar scanner used in the scanning probe microscope. The planar scanner is composed of flexure guides, piezoelectric actuators and feedback sensors. In the design of flexure guides, the Castigliano's theorem was used to find the stiffness of the guide. The motion amplifying mechanism was used in the piezoelectric actuator to achieve a large travel range. We found theoretically the travel range of the total system and verified using the commercial FEM(finite element method) program. The maximum travel range of the planar scanner is above than 140 $\mu$m. The 3 axis positioning capability was verified by the mode analysis using the FEM program.

The interior of open cavities exposed to a grazing flow is known to experience, strong periodic pressure, oscillations sustained for a wide range of flow velocities. In this study, an original approach was followed to develop a describing function model for the flow-excitation mechanism, governed by the shedding of discrete vortices within the shear layer over the orifice. A feedback loop analysis was performed to predict the frequency and the amplitude of the interior pressure fluctuations. Furthermore, a limit cycle stability analysis based on the extended Nyquist Stability criterion allowed the predictions of the onset and termination velocities for various modes. The analytical model was verified experimentally.

Aeroacoustic sound induced from inter-couch spacing is an important contributor to interior noise generation for high speed trains. Especially the open space between mud-flap has significant impact from flow-structure interactions. To understand noise generation mechanism, experiments were performed using the wind tunnel. To find mud-flap parameters for minimal noise generations the various shape of the mud-flap was installed and its effects on the wall-pressure generation were investigated.

On our return to India from Germany, we have worked on the development of parabolic solar concentrators with input and collaboration of German and Austrian inventors. We have gradually improved the solar technologies to include food processing based on inputs and feedback from users to fulfill their specific requirements. We will discuss the acceptability and commercialisation of various systems that we have successfully developed, their implications and their benefit. These success stories can work as multipliers. These concentrators can have various other applications. The Global Treaty Kyoto Protocol's CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) can result in a win-win situation for both developing and developed nations and the world environment at large - whereby developed nations get carbon credits by supporting renewable energy projects in developing nations. North-South dialogue and South-South dialogue can effectively foster global co-operation meaningfully to benefit People and environments ensuring sustainable development and protection of Our planet Earth, our only HOME!!!

A conceptual system dynamics model is developed to represent the dynamic mechanism between the number of hepatitis B virus and the defense system of the body. The simulation results shows that the model behaves within the reasonable ranges. The developed conceptual model is a first attempt to quantify the dynamic mechanisms of the hepatitis B virus, where only feedback structures are considered without bio-organism data. The next step would be to incorporate the model with bio-organism theory and to carry out case studies to identify personal characteristics. Since the current model is a conceptual model where quantitative results are not based on the sound background, the usage is limited only within the qualitative basis. It could be a effective educational tool for the patients. It also shows what-to-do lists in order to be used for forecast purposes.

One of the difficulties in using the current Boolean-based information retrieval systems is that it is hard for a user, especially a novice, to formulate an effective Boolean query. One solution to this problem is to let the system formulate a query for a user from his relevance feedback documents in this research, an intelligent query reformulation mechanism based on ID3 is proposed and the sensitivity of its retrieval effectiveness, i.e., recall, precision, and E-measure, to various input settings is analyzed. The parameters in the input settings is the number of relevant documents. Experiments conducted on the test set of Medlars revealed that the effectiveness of the proposed system is in fact sensitive to the number of the initial relevant documents. The case with two or more initial relevant documents outperformed the case with one initial relevant document with statistical significances. It is our conclusion that formulation of an effective query in the proposed system requires at least two relevant documents in its initial input set.

The functional behaviors of human standing postural control were investigated when they were exposed to long-term horizontal vibration in the sagittal plane. For complexity of human postural control, a useful alternative method that has been based on a black-box approach was taken; that is, where the feedback mechanism was lumped into a single element. A motor-driven support platform was designed as a source of vibration. The AC Servo-controlled motors produced continuous anterior/posterior (AP) motion. The data were analyzed both in the time and frequency domain. The cross-correlation and coherency functions were estimated. Subjects behaved as a non-rigid pendulum with a mass and a spring throughout the whole period of the platform motion, as consistent with the plan chosen for this study.
