    摘要: A PC board actuator that emulates a muscle fiber includes a first pressure source, a second pressure source lower than the first source, at least one expansion chamber alternately communicating with the first and second pressure sources, first and second valves mounted with the PC board that opens and closes the chamber with respect to the first and second pressure sources, and an actuator member interacting with the expansion chamber to apply a force to the object. The actuator is preferably formed using planar batch technology and the valves preferably comprise electrically controllable flap valves mounted on the PC board. Alternatively, the actuator includes antagonistically arranged expansion chambers that operatively apply reciprocating forces to the object. In other embodiments, the actuator includes plural expansion chambers arranged in series or in parallel in order to increase the overall extent of attainable displacement or to amplify the force generated by the actuator.

    摘要: A distributed market based control assembly used in conjunction with fixed or movable structures. Typically multiple actuators are attached to the structure, with each of the multiple actuators having an actuator controller to control actuator applied force. Sensors are used for measuring structure movement, and a marketwire is connected to each actuator controller to convey price information to the actuator controllers by analog fluctuations in electrical characteristics of the marketwire. Actuators can be used to stabilize a fixed structure against movement, or alternatively can be used to control movement of movable structures from defined first positions to second positions (e.g. moving a robotic arm so its tip moves from point A to point B).

    摘要: In a problem partitioning method for problem solving in a computer system, a definition of a system to be controlled, a hierarchical control structure definition, problem definitions for a plurality of control nodes in the hierarchical control structure, and a structure evaluation function are used in partitioning the system problem. The partitioning method defines an instantiation of the hierarchical control structure by decomposing the system into a plurality of hierarchical control structure instances, with each control structure instance having a plurality of control levels. The performance of each of the hierarchical control structure instances is evaluated with the structure evaluation function and an optimal hierarchical control structure instance is selected.

    摘要: A method for problem solving in a computer system includes an applications module for sending a problem statement to a complexity module. The complexity module configures a solving module with configuration parameters and also determines expected solver behavior. A solving module determines actual solver behavior, determines whether a problem solution has been found, and determines whether to perform a solver iteration step or to request a complexity module to perform an adaptation step.

    摘要: A system for detecting and damping vibrations in printer components, mechanical devices, buildings, or large structures has a plurality of light beam detectors for generating signals corresponding to a reference light beam position. The light beam detectors are partially transparent to allow passage of the light beam through the detector, permitting multiple detectors to use the same reference light beam. The detectors are attached to vibration susceptible structural elements, with detected movement of the light beam with respect to the partially transparent light beam detector corresponding to movement of the vibration susceptible structural element. Motion control units connected to the detectors can be used to control or damp detected vibrations in real-time.

    摘要: Resistance layer structures comprised of a plurality of conductive charge storage nodes, collection electrodes, and an electrically controllable resistance element which connects the storage nodes and the collection electrodes. The resistance of the electrically controllable resistance element can be switched between a low impedance, so as to permit a rapid charge interchange between the various storage nodes and the collection electrodes, and a high impedance, so as to permit an integration of charge onto the storage nodes. Beneficially, the electrically controllable resistance element is implemented as the active region of a metal-insulator-semiconductor device.
