Application of the ISO 9283 standard to test repeatability of the Baxter robot
Get PDFIndustrial robots are becoming more cost-efficient and safer to work with. Rethink Robotics has created an industrial robot called Baxter that is less expensive and more compliant. Unfortunately, while Rethink has an accuracy specification for Baxter, there is some confusion about the repeatability specification of Baxter. This thesis applies the ISO 9283 standard to test the manipulation repeatability of Baxter using an IR motion capture system. This test method varies movement speed, payload weight, and target location while measuring repeatability. The average positional repeatability was determined to be 2.9 mm and 3.3 mm for the left and right arms respectively. The average orientation repeatability was determined to be 0.003 to 0.0047 radians for the left arm and 0.0037 to 0.0054 radians for the right arm.Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'.

The Messianic Vision of the Pentateuch
No full textDid Moses write about Jesus? Kevin Chen challenges the common view of the Pentateuch as focused primarily on the Mosaic Law, arguing instead that it sets forth a coherent, sweeping vision of the Messiah as the center of its theological message. Building on the work of John Sailhamer, Chen provides a fascinating study and an exegetical basis for a Christ-centered biblical theology.Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Abbreviations -- Introduction -- 1 The Seed of the Woman -- 2 The Seed of Abraham in the Patriarchal Narratives -- 3 The Lion of Judah -- 4 Passover and the Song of the Sea -- 5 Shadows at Sinai -- 6 The Bronze Snake and Balaam's Oracles -- 7 The Prophet Like Moses -- 8 The Blessing of Judah -- 9 The Repeated Breaking of the Sinai/Deuteronomic Law -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Author Index -- Subject Index -- Scripture Index -- Praise for The Messianic Vision of the Pentateuch -- About the Author -- More Titles from InterVarsity PressDid Moses write about Jesus?

No full textAbstract
Date Presented 4/1/2017
We assessed the home safety of formerly homeless adults ages 40–65 yr residing in supportive housing. Nineteen of 20 participants fell at or above the 95th percentile of an elderly reference group, indicating greater home safety concerns compared with adults 20 yr older.

Carry-and-forward Network : a carry-and-forward delay-tolerant network
No full textThesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2007.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 63-65).In this thesis, I designed and implemented a delay-tolerant network stack that allows applications to send messages to other network nodes when no end-to-end connectivity is present. CafNet, the Carry-and-Forward Network, is a delay-tolerant network stack with a CafNet Transport Layer, a CafNet Network Layer, and one or more Mule Adaptation Layers, corresponding to the traditional transport, network, and link layers. Nodes can connect to other nodes through a variety of link mechanisms, and in some cases, the data itself can be physically carried, such as on a USB key or a PDA. CafNet prioritizes messages such that data with a higher priority is sent during short bursts of connectivity. The stack was tested on embedded PC systems used in cars for the CarTel project to determine its performance.by Kevin W. Chen.M.Eng
