The boundaries for joint angles of isocomfort for sitting and standing males based on perceived comfort of static joint postures

This study presents data for the joint angles of isocomfort (JAI) in sitting and standing males based on perceived comfort ratings for static joint postures maintained for 60 s. The JAI value was defined as a boundary indicating joint deviation (an angle) from neutral posture, within which the perceived comfort for different body joint postures is expected to be the same. An experiment for quantifying perceived comfort ratings was conducted using the free modulus method of magnitude estimation. Based on experimental results, regression equations were derived for each joint posture, to represent the relationships between different levels of joint deviation/joint posture and corresponding normalized comfort scores. The JAI values were developed for nine verbal categories of joint comfort. The JAIs with the marginal comfort levels, one of the nine verbal categories used, for most joint postures around the wrist, elbow, neck and ankle were similar to the maximum range of motion (ROM) values for these joints. However, the JAIs with the marginal comfort category for back and hip postures were much smaller than the maximum ROM values for these joints. There were no significant differences in JAI expressed in terms of the percentage of the corresponding maximum ROM values between sitting and standing postures. The relative 'marginal comfort index', defined as the percentage of JAIs for the marginal comfort relative to the corresponding maximum ROM values, for the hip was the smallest among all joints. This was followed, in an increasing order of the marginal comfort index, by the lower back and shoulder, while the marginal comfort index for the elbow joint was the largest. The results of this study suggest that static postures maintained for 60 s cause greater discomfort for the hip joint than for the other joints studied, and less discomfort for the elbow than for the other joints. The data about JAIs can be used as guidelines for enhancing postural comfort when designing a variety of human-machine tasks where static postures cannot be eliminated.     

Geometric algorithms for digitized pictures on a mesh-connected computer

Although mesh-connected computers are used almost exclusively for low-level local image processing, they are also suitable for higher level image processing tasks. We illustrate this by presenting new optimal (in the O-notational sense) algorithms for computing several geometric properties of figures. For example, given a black/white picture stored one pixel per processing element in an n × n mesh-connected computer, we give ?(n) time algorithms for determining the extreme points of the convex hull of each component, for deciding if the convex hull of each component contains pixels that are not members of the component, for deciding if two sets of processors are linearly separable, for deciding if each component is convex, for determining the distance to the nearest neighboring component of each component, for determining internal distances in each component, for counting and marking minimal internal paths in each component, for computing the external diameter of each component, for solving the largest empty circle problem, for determining internal diameters of components without holes, and for solving the all-points farthest point problem. Previous mesh-connected computer algorithms for these problems were either nonexistent or had worst case times of ?(n2). Since any serial computer has a best case time of ?(n2) when processing an n × n image, our algorithms show that the mesh-connected computer provides significantly better solutions to these problems.

Compact disc standards: an introductory overview

The success of the compact disc (CD) as a storage medium for digital audio has, over the last ten years, resulted in a number of initiatives to use the CD for other applications as well, e.g., as read-only memory for computers, as a storage medium for audio-visual material for multimedia applications, and as a storage medium for photographs. Each of these applications poses additional requirements on how the corresponding information is stored and retrieved, resulting in a range of different CD standards. The functional specifications of these standards are each given a specific color for ease of reference: the Red Book for CD-DA, the Yellow Book for CD-ROM, the Green Book for CD-I, etc. This paper aims at giving an overview of the various CD standards by explaining what is specified in each of the colored books and by indicating how they relate to one another.

Systems with structured uncertainty: relations between quadraticand robust stability

The relation between the notions of robust stability and quadratic stability for uncertain systems with structured uncertainty due to both real and complex parameter variations is discussed. Examples are presented to demonstrate that for systems containing at least two uncertain blocks, the notions of robust stability for complex parameter variations and quadratic stability for real parameter variations are not equivalent. A byproduct of these examples is that, for this class of systems, quadratic stability for real perturbations need not imply quadratic stability for complex perturbations. This is in stark contrast with the situation in the case of unstructured uncertainty, for which it is known that quadratic stability for either real or complex perturbations is equivalent to robust stability for complex perturbations, and thus equivalent to a small gain condition on the transfer matrix that the perturbation experiences     

A Probabilistic Analysis of Multiple-drug Testing Procedures in Sports Doping Control

Athletes engaged in competition, particularly those involved in international competitions such as the Olympics, are increasingly being tested for a greater variety of banned substances; it is not unusual for tests to be conducted for 100 drugs and another 400 as metabolites. Previous studies related to the accuracy of drug testing processes have failed to properly consider the effects of testing for more than one drug. In order to identify appropriate indicators for the multiple-drug case, probability theory and accuracy concepts applicable to testing for multiple drugs are developed and applied to illustrative data. The probability that a drug-free individual will test positive for drug use is shown to be much higher than indicated by previous studies, and it is shown that an increase in the number of drugs tested for yields an approximately proportionate increase in the probability that a positive test result is erroneous. Therefore, while testing for one drug may result in a comfortably low rate of false accusations of drug use, testing for multiple drugs may well result in an unacceptably high rate. Finally, a set of empirical measures is suggested for use in cases of tests for multiple drugs; the measures will provide for comparability among laboratory proficiency studies.     

Optimal and Efficient Algorithms for Summing and Prefix Summing on Parallel Machines

The problem of designing efficient parallel algorithms for summing and prefix summing for certain classes of the LogP model is studied. We present optimal algorithms for summing and show that any optimal summing algorithm must have a certain inherent structure. Moreover, we present optimal or near-optimal algorithms for prefix summing for both non-commutative and commutative binary operators. Furthermore, we show that the optimal algorithms for prefix summing for these two types of operators are not equivalent.

The strategic value of supply chain visibility: increasing the ability to reconfigure

To understand the role of supply chain visibility in creating strategic value, this study uses the dynamic capabilities view to uncover the nature of supply chain visibility. The study identifies four important constructs of supply chain visibility that are helpful in driving supply chain reconfigurability and thus improving supply chain strategic performance. They are visibility for sensing, visibility for learning, visibility for coordinating, and visibility for integrating. The results show that visibility for sensing has direct impact on supply chain strategic performance. Empirical evidence also supports that visibility for learning, visibility for coordinating, and visibility for integrating are important for enhancing supply chain reconfigurability, thus creating strategic value in supply chains. Supply chain visibility therefore enables firms to reconfigure their supply chain resources for greater competitive advantage. Implications of the results regarding the nature and the role of supply chain visibility in enhancing supply chain strategic performance are provided.

Rapid Communication. Exposure assessment of biomechanical stress in repetitive manual work using frequency-weighted filters

A quantitative exposure assessment strategy for physical stress associated with repetitive manual tasks is proposed using continuous biomechanical data measured directly from electrogoniometers or force sensors. This paper describes an efficient method for reducing large quantities of biomechanical data into a quantifiable metric that accounts for recognized musculoskeletal exposure factors, including repetitiveness, postural or forceful exertion stress, and duration. A frequency domain approach is used for averaging elemental data recorded for repetitive cycles. Parameters for frequency-weighted filters are developed using psychophysical data for equivalent discomfort levels resulting from repetitive movements of different amplitudes and frequencies. These filters enable continuous biomechanical data to be filtered and integrated, resulting in a single quantity corresponding to psychophysical response characteristics for repetitive motion stress. It is anticipated that a similar approach may be used for epidemiological response characteristics. Applications of this theory may make it possible for assessing exposure to physical stress in a manner analogous to the way in which sound level meters are used for measuring exposure to acoustic noise. Repetitive wrist flexion and localized discomfort was used for demonstrating the feasibility of this approach. Suitable data reduction techniques are necessary for evaluating work methods, job designs, and for conducting large scale detailed epidemiological investigations of cumulative trauma disorder risk factors. Frequency-weighted filters based on human response to physical stress at different frequencies can greatly simplify exposure analysis and ultimately may make it possible for quantitative exposure limits to be established.     

Global adaptive output feedback control of induction motors withuncertain rotor resistance

The authors design a global adaptive output feedback control for a fifth-order model of induction motors, which guarantees asymptotic tracking of smooth speed references on the basis of speed and stator current measurements, for any initial condition and for any unknown constant value of torque load and rotor resistance. The proposed seventh-order nonlinear compensator generates estimates both for the unknown parameters (torque load and rotor resistance) and for the unmeasured state variables (rotor flux); they converge to the corresponding true values under persistency of excitation which actually holds in typical operating conditions. The control algorithm generates references for the magnetizing flux component and for the torque component of stator current which lead to significant simplification for current-fed motors. Simulations show that the proposed controller is suitable for high dynamic performance applications     

Discrete estimators of characteristics for periodically correlated time series

Results of an investigation of the characteristic estimator properties for periodically correlated time series obtained on the basis of finite data length are given. The formulae for the bias and variance of the estimators for mean and covariance function Fourier coefficients are found. The conditions for the choice of sampling interval value, for which aliasing effects do not appear, are obtained. The interpolation formulae for the mean and covariance function estimates are derived. The dependencies of the statistical characteristics of the estimators on sampling interval and sample size for modulated signals are analyzed.     

Muscle response to pneumatic hand tool torque reaction forces

Surface electromyography was used for studying the effects of torque reaction force acting against the hand, on forearm muscle activity and grip force for five subjects operating right angle, air shut-off nutrunners. Four tools having increasing spindle torque were operated using short and long torque reaction times. Nutrunner spindle torque ranged between 30 Nm and 100 Nm. Short torque reaction time was considered 0.5 s while long torque reaction time was 2 s. Peak horizontal force was the greatest component of the reaction force acting against the hand and accounted for more than 97% of the peak resultant hand force. Peak hand force increased from 89 N for the smallest tool to 202 N for the largest tool. Forearm muscle rms EMG, scaled for grip force, indicated average flexor activity during the Torque-reaction phase was more than four times greater than the Pre-start and Post Shut-off phases, and two times greater than the Run-down phase. Flexor EMG activity during the Torque-reaction phase increased for increasing tool peak spindle torque. Average flexor rms EMG activity, scaled for grip force, during the Torque-reaction phase increased from 372 N for the 30 Nm nutrunner to 449 N for the 100 Nm nutrunner. Flexor rms EMG activity averaged during the Torque-reaction phase and scaled for grip force was 390 N for long torque reaction times and increased to 440 N for short torque reaction times. Flexor rms EMG integrated over the torque reaction phase was 839 Ns for long torque reaction times and decreased to 312 Ns for short torque reaction times. The average latency between tool spindle torque onset and peak initial flexor rms EMG for long torque reaction times was 294 ms which decreased to 161 ms for short torque reaction times. The average latency between peak tool spindle torque, just prior to tool shut-off, and peak final rms EMG for long torque reaction times was 97 ms for flexors and 188 ms for extensors, which decreased for short torque reaction times to 47 ms for flexors and 116 ms for extensors. The results suggest that right angle nutrunner torque reaction forces can affect extrinsic hand muscles in the forearm, and hence grip exertions, by way of a reflex response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

Characterization of reconfigurable Stewart platform for contour generation

The limited treatment available for Stewart platform characteristics leads to the lack of an efficient methodology for determining the optimum geometry for different tasks. In this paper, an effort is made to characterize the parameters for developing a reconfigurable Stewart platform for the contour generation application. A solution is provided through the formulation of dimensionless parameters in combination with a study on the generic parameters like configuration. The variable geometry approach for the reconfiguration of Stewart platform has been adopted for four different platforms, and a generic approach is formulated after studying different parameters. A stiffness model developed for contour generation application is used in tandem with this generic approach to identify the trajectory with maximum stiffness for complex contours. The proposed methodology provides a holistic approach to develop a complete set of design tool to choose the optimum geometry for any new reconfigurable Stewart platform to be developed.
