Bennett Based Balanced Butterfly Linkage, Deployable Linkage with Inherent Balance
No full textIn this paper it is shown how a 2-DoF inherently force balanced spatial deployable Butterfly Linkage is found consisting of four entangled similar Bennett linkages moving synchronously and with the common center of mass in the central joint. This linkage is derived from the Grand 4R Four-Bar Based Inherently Balanced Linkage Architecture by selecting a planar linkage with four entangled similar 4R four-bar linkages to which the Bennett conditions are applied. The inherent balance conditions are calculated, which are independent of the Bennett angles, and a CAD-model of the linkage is presented.Accepted Author ManuscriptMechatronic Systems Desig

An activist's experience of the planning process
No full textThis article provides a look at the planning
process in Ontario from the point of view
of a citizen. Ben Bennett is representing
Residents for Sustainable Development in
Guelph, which opposes two big-box proposals
before the Ontario Municipal
Board. As co-author of a new book on
what has become a seven-year-long saga,
Bennett shares his insights into the planning
profession and the system from the
perspective of a non-lawyer and nonplanner.
The proposals, one anchored by
Wal-Mart, the other by Zellers, were
rejected by city council in the late spring
of 1997. The date for the hearing was
originally set for July 1998, but was
repeatedly delayed. After five years of
legal wrangling, court challenges and
political intrigue, the hearing finally got
under way in April of this year. It is scheduled
to run for twenty weeks.Le présent article trace le portrait de
l'aménagement urbain en Ontario tel que
perçu par un citoyen. Ben Bennett, porteparole
du groupement Citoyens pour un
développement durable, de Guelph, auprès
de la Commission des affaires municipales
de l'Ontario, s'oppose à deux projets de
grande surface. Co-auteur d'un livre
traitant de la situation qui dure maintenant
depuis sept ans, Ben Bennett nous fait part
de ses réflexions sur la profession du point
de vue d'un intervenant qui n'est ni
urbaniste ni avocat. Les projets, l'un
présenté pour Wal-Mart, l'autre pour
Zellers, furent rejetés par le conseil
municipal à la fin du printemps 1997. Une
audience, prévue pour juillet 1998 et
reportée plusieurs fois, après cinq ans de
contestations, de guérilla juridique et
d'intrigues, sera tenue en avril 2002 pour
une durée de quelque 20 semaines.https://viurrspace.ca/bitstream/handle/10613/5482/Article003.pdf?sequence=3Abstract in English and French; text in English
