This model simulates a six-degrees-of-freedom variable mass equations of motion with Simulink and Aerospace Blockset. This
model has been color coded to aid in locating Aerospace Blockset blocks. The red blocks are Aerospace Blockset blocks, the orange blocks are subsystems containing additional Aerospace Blockset blocks and the white blocks are Simulink blocks.

Abstract-In this paper, simple autonomous chaotic circuits
coupled by resistors are investigated. By carrying out computer
calculations and circuit experiments, irregular self-switching phenomenon
of three spatial patterns characterized by the phase
states of quasi-synchronization of chaos can be observed from
only four simple chaotic circuits. This is the same phenomenon
as chaotic wandering of spatial patterns observed very often from
systems with a large number of degrees of freedom. Namely, one
of spatial-temporal chaos observed from systems of large size can
be also generated in the proposed system consisting of only four
chaotic circuits. A six subcircuits case and a coupled chaotic circuits
networks are also studied, and such systems are confirmed
to produce more complicated spatio-temporal phenomena.
A kinematically redundant manipulator is a serial robotic arm that has more
independently driven joints than are necessary to define the desired pose (position
and orientation) of its end-effector. With this definition, any planar manipulator (a
manipulator whose end-effector motion is restrained in a plane) with more than
three joints is a redundant manipulator. Also, a manipulator whose end-effector can
accept aspatialposeisaredundant manipulator ifithas morethan sixindependently
driven joints. For example, the manipulator shown in Fig. 1.1 has two 7-DOF arms
mounted on a torso with three degrees of freedom (DOFs). This provides 10 DOFs
for each arm. Since the end-effector of each arm can have a spatial motion with six
DOFs, the arms are redundant.
obot control, a subject aimed at making robots behave as desired, has been
extensively developed for more than two decades. Among many books being
published on this subject, a common feature is to treat a robot as a single
system that is to be controlled by a variety of control algorithms depending on
different scenarios and control objectives. However, when a robot becomes more
complex and its degrees of freedom of motion increase substantially, the needed
control computation can easily go beyond the scope a modern computer can
handle within a pre-specified sampling period. A solution is to base the control
on subsystem dynamics.
The Engineering Vibration Toolbox is a set of educational programs
written in Octave by Joseph C. Slater. Also included are a number of help files,
demonstration examples, and data files containing raw experimental data. The
codes include single degree of freedom response, response spectrum, finite
elements, numerical integration, and phase plane analysis.
Transmit power in wireless cellular networks is a key degree of freedom
in the management of interference, energy, and connectivity. Power
control in both uplink and downlink of a cellular network has been
extensively studied, especially over the last 15 years, and some of the
results have enabled the continuous evolution and significant impact of
the digital cellular technology.
The serious study of the practice of how to determine the appropriate content of a
specification is a seldom-appreciated pastime. Those who have the responsibility to
design a product would prefer a greater degree of freedom than permitted by the con-
tent of a specification. Many of those who would manage those who would design
a product would prefer to allocate all of the project funding and schedule to what
they consider more productive labor. These are the attitudes, of course, that doom a
project to defeat but they are hard to counter no matter how many times repeated by
design engineers and managers. A system engineer who has survived a few of these
experiences over a long career may retire and forget the past but we have an endur-
ing obligation to work toward changing these attitudes while trying to offer younger
system engineers a pathway toward a more sure success in requirements analysis and
specification publishing.
