Performance of a parallel manipulator heavily relies on its position/orientation resolution. Without a good resolution the manipulator is difficult to achieve a high stiffness. Therefore how to obtain the required resolution is a basic issue to design a parallel manipulator. This paper presents a method to solve the problem. Firstly, the mathematical definition of the position/orientation resolution is given. Then we discuss how to calculate them using Rayleigh quotient. And the design optimization problem is formulated. Fundamental concepts of the method are illustrated through a 3-RRR planar parallel manipulator. The design process to achieve an optimized task space of the required pose resolution is also demonstrated in the example.

Human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) potassium (K+) channels play a critical role in cardiac action potential repolarization. Mutations that reduce hERG conductance or surface expression may cause congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS). However, the channels can be inhibited by structurally diverse small molecules, resulting in an acquired form of LQTS. Consequently, small molecules that increase the hERG current may be of value for treatment for LQTS. So far, nine hERG activators have been reported. The aim of this review is to discuss recent advances concerning the identification and action mechanism of hERG activators.

Capsule endoscopy is a new technique that allows complete exploration of the small intestine, and widely used all over the world, for its convenience and less pains compared with traditional endoscopy. However, the limited power supplies of batteries handicap the development of capsule endoscopy. This paper presents a novel wireless power transfer system for the capsule endoscopy utilizing the strongly coupled magnetic resonances theory. The wireless power transfer system consists of four coils, an excitation source and a load. In order to evaluate the system performance, experiments were carried out in which the working frequency is determined at 8.2MHz. The results demonstrate that the distance between two sets of transmission coils have great effect on the system efficiency and the maximal system efficiency can reach 26.14%. Therefore, this power supply system has a promising prospect on wireless power transfer for capsule endoscopy. Improving the quality factor of coils can effectively increase the efficiency of the system, which is the key to the future work.

This article presents the nonlinear dynamics and the posture stabilization control scheme for the single-wheeled pendulum robot (SWPR). Considering the maneuverability of SWPR, the steering is realized through the control for the inertia pendulum (IP) installed horizontally on the middle part of robot body. The feature of the control system modeling consists in a technique for which the posture stabilization control design is based on the parameterization of the dynamic interactions (DIT) between the lateral dynamics, the longitudinal dynamics, and the rotational dynamics. Simulation results showed the feasibility of the SWPR model and the control algorithm.

Large load swing of a gantry crane, due to cable flexibility and rapid movement, needs to be controlled. Herein, a wave-based approach interprets the cable motion as two superposed traveling waves. To combine position and active swing control, the trolley motion and load hoisting are carefully designed here, and a practical approach is adopted to design hoisting motions in the upward and downward manoeuvres, counteracting their reverse effects on the load swing. A robust control algorithm, based on the model of the crane system, is proposed to realize the trolley and hoisting motions, allowing for load variations and parameter uncertainties. This new solution to motion control of a gantry crane works very well, and is stable and adaptive to large load variations. As demonstrated in the simulation experiments, it lands the load rapidly and exactly at target and stops it dead, with nearly zero swing.

This paper addresses the design problem of reliable H∞ controller for linear systems with state quantization. By combining linear matrix inequality technique and indirect adaptive method, a new method is proposed to design a reliable controller against actuator faults via quantized state feedback. The controller gains are updating according to the on-line estimation of eventual faults, which are dependent on the quantized state signals. Meanwhile, the proposed designs conditions with variable gains can be proved to be less conservative than those of the traditional controller with xed gains. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

One of the prerequisites for AFM based nanomanipulation is that the position of the target nanoparticle can be stable controlled within a known area, while this prerequisite is still hindered by the uncertainties including the initial position of the nanoparticle and of the AFM tip, together with the uncertain forces from the substrate and so on. In this paper, a Stochastic Pushing (SP) model and a Stable Pushing Strategy are proposed respectively, which can push the nanoparticle into a bounded target area within a given probability. Simulations and experiment based on the proposed SP model demonstrate the validity of the Stable Pushing Strategy.

A 5-degree of freedom (DOF) 5-UPS/PRPU parallel machine tool (PMT) with redundant actuation is introduced. The characteristic of the PMT is described. Based on the conventional Lagrange Equation, the dynamic formulation of this PMT with redundant actuation is derived. A novel force distribution method is proposed for redundant actuation. The constraint couple of the PRPU limb to the moving platform is deduced with the D' Alembert's principle. Then, the dynamic calculation of the redundant actuation limb is performed. Thus, the inverse dynamic solution can be derived. With ADAMS software, the three-dimensional entity model of the PMT is built and the dynamic simulations are carried out through some typical motion. The simulation results are consistent with the theoretical calculation, which proves the correctness of the theoretical deduction and the feasibility of the simulation analysis.
