Dual-arm space robots are more capable of implementing complex space tasks compared with single arm space robots. However, the dynamic coupling between the arms and the base will have a serious impact on the spacecraft attitude and the hand motion of each arm. Instead of considering one arm as the mission arm and the other as the balance arm, in this work two arms of the space robot perform as mission arms aimed at accomplishing secure capture of a floating target.  1, record 1, English, - dual%2Darm%20space%20robot

Dynamic stabilizers of the patella also control tibial rotation and patellar gliding. Thus, weakness or insufficiency of the VMO [vastus medialis obliquus] in participants with PFPS [patellofemoral pain syndrome] may contribute to abnormal lateral movement of the patella.

In the rigid-airfoil study, the airfoil is set to either torsional or flapping motion at different oscillatory frequencies. Different freestream Mach numbers and preset angles of attack are also included in the test matrix.

The prediction of these operating limits has been an area of active research at the NRC [National Research Council] Institute for Aerospace Research(NRC Aerospace) for the past decade. In addition to standard airwake flow survey capabilities, NRC Aerospace researchers have developed an unparalleled high-fidelity wind tunnel simulation of the helicopter/ship dynamic interface.

Carbon-14 Method. Radiocarbon dating techniques, first developed by the American chemist Willard F. Libby and his associates at the University of Chicago in 1947, are frequently useful in unravelling time-related problems in archaeology, anthropology, oceanography, pedology, climatology, and recent geology. Through metabolic activity, the level of carbon-14 in a living organism remains in constant balance with the level in the atmosphere or some other portion of the earth's dynamic reservoir, such as the ocean. Upon the organism's death, carbon-14 begins to disintegrate at a known rate, and no further replacement of carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide can take place. The rapid disintegration of carbon-14 generally limits the dating period to approximately 50, 000 years, although the method is sometimes extended to 70, 000 years. Uncertainty in measurement increases with the age of the sample. Carbon dating works well on organic specimens such as wood, bone and cloth that are between 2 000 and 20 000 years old.  2, record 11, English, - carbon%2D14%20method

Méthode du carbone 14 : Mise au point par l'Américain Willard Frank Libby en 1949. Le carbone des végétaux provient uniquement du gaz carbonique de l'atmosphère absorbé grâce à l'assimilation chlorophyllienne. Sous l'effet des rayons cosmiques une partie infime, mais mesurable, du carbone atmosphérique est transformé en carbone radioactif. Du fait de la chaîne alimentaire, ce carbone radioactif se retrouve dans les os des animaux. Dès que ceux-ci meurent, l'assimilation cesse et le carbone radioactif perd sa radioactivité. Elle décroît de moitié tous les 5 730 ans. On peut dater une objet organique en mesurant la radioactivité résiduelle. La précision de la mesure repose sur l'hypothèse d'une proportion constante de carbone radioactif dans l'atmosphère.  4, record 11, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20du%20carbone%2014

Dynamic forces will not be taken into consideration, since all movements of the robot are slow.
