Hand-held devices for generating force/torque perturbations by Wong, Yoke Cung.

“…The system is driven by a DC motor and mainly consists of a flywheel, a handle, and a breaking system. The working principle is to spin the flywheel at a certain angular speed and then break this rotation motion within a very short period so that relatively high deceleration will take place and torque will be generated. …”

The meaning of the auxiliary morpheme 'dug in the aspect systems of some Central Tibetan dialects by Volkart, Marianne

“…In the imperfective aspect, 'dug is used in many dialects for, roughly speaking, a "plus evidential" (+EVID) meaning, in order to express that the communicated information is based on the speaker's own experience or eyewitnessing. In the perfective aspect, on the other hand, 'dug appears in some dialects with a "minus evidential" (-EVID) meaning. …”
