Robot programming using augmented reality by Chong, Jonathan Wun Shiung

“…Collision-free paths for userdefined start and goal configurations are then generated using a beam search strategy. The second part of this work is the development of a new RPAR methodology aimed at applications such as arc welding and laser cutting, where the end-effector of the robot is constrained to follow a user-defined 3D path at a certain orientation, consistently with respect to that path. …”

Constructing 3D self-supporting surfaces with isotropic stress using 4D minimal hypersurfaces of revolution by Ma, Long, He, Ying, Sun, Qian, Zhou, Yuanfeng, Zhang, Caiming, Wang, Wenping

“…The existing thrust network analysis methods discretize both geometry and material by approximating the continuous stress field through uniaxial singular stresses, making them an ideal tool for analysis and design of beam structures. In contrast, our method works on piecewise linear surfaces with continuous material. …”

“…The analysis of the combined data sets excludes, at 95% confidence level, a Sequential Standard Model Z[' over SSM] resonance lighter than 2590 GeV, a superstring-inspired Z[' over ψ] lighter than 2260 GeV, and Kaluza–Klein gravitons lighter than 2390 (2030) GeV, assuming that the coupling parameter k/[bar over M][subscript Pl] is 0.10 (0.05). These are the most stringent limits to date.…”

Reduction of bubble cavitation by modifying the diffraction wave from a lithotripter aperture by Zhou, Yufeng

“…There is no difference, however, in both the amplitude and duration of the compressive shockwaves between these two configurations as well as the −6 dB beam width in the focal plane. The significant suppression effect of bubble cavitation was confirmed by the measured bubble collapse time using passive cavitation detection. …”
