Virtual reality (VR) table tennis by Cheong, Yong Wen

“…The project has achieved the basic goal of creating an AI opponent which can return the ball through inference. Future Improvements could involve improvement of ball physics to simulate spinning effects of the ball and training the model with 3-dimensional variables with greater computing resources.Overall, this project has successfully demonstrated the feasibility integrating ML into VR, allowing future game developers to create immersive and adaptive gaming experiences that push the boundaries of VR entertainment.…”

An Analytical Model for Pitch Moment Stiffness of Bolted Connections and Its Application in Ballscrew Bearing Support Block Selection by Harlalka, Akshay D., Slocum, Alexander H.

“…Application of the model is illustrated with a ball screw system design spreadsheet, available in Supplemental Material on the ASME Digital Collection, applied to two case studies (machine tool linear axis and high-speed 3D printer) to show how predicting the moment stiffness of ball screw support bearing blocks helps in expanding the available design space and enhance the design performance.…”

Constructing intrinsic delaunay triangulations from the dual of geodesic voronoi diagrams by Liu, Yong-Jin, Fan, Dian, Xu, Chun-Xu, He, Ying

“…The sufficient condition for the dual graph to be a proper triangulation is that all Voronoi cells satisfy the so-called closed ball property. To guarantee the closed ball property everywhere, a certain sampling criterion is required. …”

A micro motion sensing system for micromanipulation tasks by Tan, U Xuan, Latt, Win Tun, Georgiou, Andreas, Sidarta, Ananda Ekaputera, Riviere, Cameron N, Ang, Wei Tech

“…The main components of the system consist of a pair of position sensitive detectors (PSDs), lenses, an infrared (IR) diode that illuminates the workspace of the system, a non-reflective intraocular shaft, and a white reflective ball attached at the end of the shaft. The system calculates 3D displacement of the ball inside the workspace using the centroid position of the IR rays that are reflected from the ball and strike the PSDs. …”

Quantitative proteomics reveals CLR interactome in primary human cells by Manolis, D, Hasan, S, Maraveyas, A, O'Brien, DP, Kessler, BM, Kramer, H, Nikitenko, LL

“…We used primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells and combined immunoprecipitation (IP) utilising anti-human CLR antibody with label-free quantitative nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nano LC-MS/MS) and quantitative in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA). By using this workflow, we identified 37 proteins interacting with endogenously expressed CLR amongst 4,902 detected members of the cellular proteome (by quantitative nano LC-MS/MS) and revealed direct interactions of two kinases and two transporters with this GPCR (by in situ PLA). …”
