To meet the demands of ultra-precision positioning and scanning, a series of precision positioning mechanisms have been developed recently at Queensgate Instruments, which combines Queensgate’s ...

Track-roller linear guides and how they compare to other linear rails, slides, and ways to facilitate single and multi-axis linear motion — and the disparate ways these linear components integrate ...

The field of mechanism design investigates how to construct systems and institutional rules that lead self‐interested agents to outcomes which achieve societal objectives. Auction theory, a key branch ...

A well-optimized linear unit offers a versatile, compact motion solution that can reliably serve an application for years. This guide highlights the strengths and limitations of linear guidance ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We study the design of mechanisms for a sequencing problem where the types of job-agents consist of processing times and waiting costs that ...

In a recent study, scientists from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with scientists from Dresden, Halle, and others have established a physical model of ...

Power MOSFETs are most often used in switched-mode applications where they function as on-off switches. But in applications like electronic loads, linear regulators or Class A amplifiers, power ...

Targeting applications that include fast valves in respiration equipment, auto-focus capabilities in optical systems, and active damping in instrumentation, the LA50-65-001A voice-coil actuator ...

We formulate and solve a range of dynamic models of constrained credit/insurance that allow for moral hazard and limited commitment. We compare them to full insurance and exogenously incomplete ...
