Simulation and Control of a Pneumatic Muscle Actuator for a Rehabilitation Robot
No full textThe perfomance of a pneumatic muscle actuator, invented by Jim Hennequin and used in a prototype wheelchair-mounted robot ann designed by the first author is reported. Experimental measurements were made of the output torque versus rotary motion and internal pressure. The torque available for a muscle of size 60 mm width by 90 mm length ranges from 1 to 15 Nm. The rotary stiffness of this muscle is 0.081 Nm/deg. A simulation model of the dynamic behaviour of the muscle attached to the robot arm using one-dimensional flow theory was written in ACSL (Advanced Continuous Simulation Language). The resultant simulation gives good agreement to within ± 5% of the experimental values. Control using proportional and a PID controller is shown to be effective

Fields of activity significance scientific college students [Campos de significación de la actividad científica en estudiantes universitarios]
No full textThis study has as purpose to show the beliefs, attitudes, knowledge and stereotypes of university students about scientific research. In order to reach it, the author carried out an exercise based on associative questions, individual and group interviews and a multiple choice questionnaire that was proposed to 273 students enrolled at two university centers at Guadalajara University (Universidad de Guadalajara). The information was then analyzed by means of the mixed content technique (open answers) and the statistic program SPSS (multiple choice questionnaire). The results show that most of the interview students have erroneous conceptions about the scientific duty and a very imprecise picture about the scientist and the domain and space in which he/she works. Since those social representations have been built throughout the student's academic life by several media (formal and informal), the author considers that it is essential to analyze them in order to increase the interest about scientific activity amongst the students

Jackson, of Colorado Springs. Here, she published "A Century of Dishonor", relating to the dealings of the U.S. Government with the Indians.

After visiting the different tribes, she wrote "Ramona"(1884), a novel relating to the Mission Indians. Mrs. Jackson had previously written two novels in the "no Name" seires: "Mercy Philbric's Chioce" ["Choice"?] (1876) and "Hetty's Strange History"(1877).
