This paper investigates the use of discrete couplings in series elastic actuation order to increase variability dynamic legged robot locomotion. The are capable engaging and disengaging connection between an element a mechanical spring real time such that elasticity could be used load, store, retain energy, release it necessary timings. Such mechanism is particularly beneficial for hopping or running locomotion, because allows preloading flight phase. Through simulated physical experiments,...
Despite intensive investigations in the past, energetic efficiency is still one of most important unsolved challenges legged robot locomotion. This paper presents an unconventional approach to problem energetically efficient locomotion by applying actuation for spring mass running. makes use mechanical springs incorporated parallel with relatively low-torque actuation, which capable both accommodating large payload and low power input exploiting self-excited vibration. For a systematic...
This article contributes to the emerging discussion on diversification—performance relationship from a dynamic perspective.The research focuses ability of firms handle complexity associated with added product scope during period time and effect this may have performance.The authors hypothesize that undertaking expansion steps given time, involving higher level scope, those expand into unrelated industries in an irregular fashion, i.e. variability, will gain less expansion. Likewise, if...
Abstract With this paper, we want to shed light on factors influencing a firm's rate of expansion. We argue that expansion is complex task and complexity associated with projects in one period can negatively impact the following period. Moreover, firm portfolio also slows down further Using longitudinal data path 91 German companies, show added product scope degree internationalization characterizing as well level international diversity have significant slowing subsequent Copyright © 2008...
Abstract This study investigates which organisational mechanisms young, fast-growing companies choose at the onset of their internationalisation and factors influence these choices. Existing research on established suggests that need for efficiency, local adaptation, environmental complexity, resource levels are relevant factors; however, this indicates may not be sufficient to explain design during internationalisation. Case was undertaken six German companies, use internet as basis...
Background and Hypothesis: Expression of the cardiomyocyte (CM) protein S100A1, which improves contractile performance heart, sharply increases during postnatal myocardial maturation but declines rapidly in failing hearts. We therefore hypothesized that CMs are wired with transcriptional factors (TFs) positively negatively regulate S100A1’s gene locus activity. Understanding these reciprocal circuits may be relevant for advanced therapeutic modulation abundance diseased Methods Results: H9C2...
