Linear Momentum in Control Volume01:13

Linear Momentum in Control Volume

1.3K
Newton's second law is applied to obtain the linear momentum in a control volume in a fluid system. According to this law, the rate of change of linear momentum is equal to the sum of external forces acting on the system. When a control volume matches the fluid system at a specific moment, the forces acting on both are identical. Reynolds transport theorem helps explain this by breaking down the system's linear momentum into two components: the rate of change of linear momentum within...

Linear time-invariant Systems

883
A system is linear if it displays the characteristics of homogeneity and additivity, together termed the superposition property. This principle is fundamental in all linear systems. Linear time-invariant (LTI) systems include systems with linear elements and constant parameters.
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be...

Linear Approximation in Time Domain

357
Nonlinear systems often require sophisticated approaches for accurate modeling and analysis, with state-space representation being particularly effective. This method is especially useful for systems where variables and parameters vary with time or operating conditions, such as in a simple pendulum or a translational mechanical system with nonlinear springs.
For a simple pendulum with a mass evenly distributed along its length and the center of mass located at half the pendulum's length,...

Voltammetric Techniques: Linear-Scan (E vs Time)01:12

Voltammetric Techniques: Linear-Scan (E vs Time)

1.1K
Polarography is a classical voltammetric technique used to analyze electrochemical reactions. This method applies a linear potential sweep to a dropping mercury electrode (DME), and the resulting current is measured. A dropping mercury electrode is commonly used as the working electrode in polarography. It consists of a capillary tube filled with mercury, where the tiny droplet forms at the tip. This droplet continuously drops from the capillary, creating a new electrode surface for each...

Real Time RT-PCR02:57

Real Time RT-PCR

64.8K
Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or Real-time RT-PCR, is an analytical tool used to determine the expression level of target genes. The method involves converting mRNA to complementary DNA with the help of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, followed by the PCR amplification of the cDNA. These two processes can be performed simultaneously in a single tube or separately as a two-step reaction.
The real-time quantification of the number of amplified products is...

Time-Domain Interpretation of PD Control01:07

Time-Domain Interpretation of PD Control

384
Proportional-Derivative (PD) control is a widely used control method in various engineering systems to enhance stability and performance. In a system with only proportional control, common issues include high maximum overshoot and oscillation, observed in both the error signal and its rate of change. This behavior can be divided into three distinct phases: initial overshoot, subsequent undershoot, and gradual stabilization.
Consider the example of control of motor torque. Initially, a positive...

  • Neuroscience
  • Robotics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • A linear model can translate cortical neuronal activity into real-time motor control commands for robot arms.
  • This model enables robot arms to mimic trained primates' intended hand movements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively analyze the contribution of single cortical neurons to a linear motor control model.
  • To investigate the relationship between neuronal position tuning and model performance.
  • To explore the potential of this paradigm for developing cortical prosthetic devices.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of single cortical neuron activity in frontal and parietal areas.
  • Characterization of time-dependent hand position tuning in neurons.
  • Selection of optimal parameters for impulse response functions describing neuronal tuning.
  • Evaluation of model generalization and performance over time.

Main Results:

  • A large percentage of cortical neurons exhibit time-dependent hand position tuning.
  • Optimal model performance requires specific impulse response function parameters (1.0-1.4 sec length, 50-100 msec bins).
  • Model performance degrades over extended periods due to variations in neuronal tuning.
