Design and Analysis for Fall Detection System Simplification

Abstract:
Recently I got a lift home with a friend, who is a keen skier. Her kids were in the back seat and her 5-year-old son announced abruptly that he knew every town from Castlemaine to Mount Hotham, and would I like to hear them? I marvelled as he proceeded carefully through the list, starting with Harcourt and ending with Harrietville and Hotham Village. A few times he paused briefly as he assembled the image of the main street of each town in his mind. My friend laughed, 'Do you think we've been to the snow too many times?!'

Basic Concept
Length, which measures the distance traveled by an object, is a fundamental concept in engineering mechanics. We use coordinates relative to a reference point to describe the distance. Length not only helps to describe the...
Simple Pendulum
The period of a simple pendulum depends on two factors: its length and the acceleration due to gravity. The period is completely independent of any other factors, such as mass or maximum displacement. For small displacements, a pendulum is...

Simple Trusses
The most basic planar truss is a simple truss with three members arranged in a triangular formation. This triangular truss is inherently stable and rigid due to its geometry, making it an ideal starting point for creating more...
