The motion of free-floating space robots is characterized by non-holonomic constraints, i. e., non-integrable rate constraint equations. These constraints originate from the principles of conservation of angular momentum. It is well known that these rate constraints can also be written to form an input-affine drift-less control system. Trajectory planning of these systems is extremely challenging and computation intensive since the motion must satisfy differential constraints. Under certain conditions, these drift-less control systems can be shown to be differentially flat. 1, record 1, English, - free%2Dfloating%20space%20robot

To date, most of the research on the control of space robots has centered on "free-floating" robots. Free-floating robots are defined as space robots where the satellite base position and orientation are unactuated. Without base actuation, no external forces or torques act upon the system when the end-effector is not in contact with the work environment. The linear and angular momenta of the system are conserved, so the spacecraft base moves in reaction to commanded arm motion. 2, record 1, English, - free%2Dfloating%20space%20robot

An airport located in Dorval, now a part of the city of Montréal, and used for private, local, national and international flights. The airport was first the "Dorval Airport," from the name of the city in the suburbs of Montréal, then the "Dorval International Airport," to become the airport for domestic flights, that is the flights limited to Canada, with the construction of the "Mirabel International Airport" inaugurated in 1975 and intended for international flights. But inadequate terrestrial links between Montréal and Mirabel contributed to give to the Montréal Dorval Airport ("Montréal-Dorval") its international status, leaving the charter (up to Autumn 2004) and cargo flights to the Mirabel Airport ("Montréal-Mirabel"); political decisions for these ends were accompanied by important subsidies for the building of added accommodations to what has become the "Montréal Dorval International Airport." With the amalgamation or merging of all the cities on the Île de Montréal, including the former cities of Montréal and of Dorval, to form the new city of Montréal on the 1 January 2002, the airport became the "Montréal Airport," a reality usage had already confirmed. On the 1 January 2004, the airport’s name changed to "Montréal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport" to honour a former Prime Minister of Canada as do other important airports in the country. The official name will, no doubt, not be quoted at length all the time; the forms mentioned as correct on the present record will surely be used instead, including the recommendation of the airport authority as to the use of "Montréal-Trudeau" as the current short form ("fly from Montréal-Trudeau", or "land at the Montréal-Trudeau Airport"). Even if the airport encountered many name and status changes, it never had a name that includes a comma, and had always been represented by YUL, its IATA three-letter code. 3, record 9, English, - Montr%C3%A9al%20Pierre%20Elliott%20Trudeau%20International%20Airport

On the picture reproduced in La Presse, Montréal, Wednesday December 31, 2003, page A11, can be seen the panel at the entrance of the airport on which is written, on the French side "Aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal" and, on the English side, "Montréal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport" (without a dash after the name of the city). In the legend, it is mentioned that the administrator, Aéroports de Montréal, recommends the use of "Montréal-Trudeau" as a current short form and that the code identifying the airport will remain YUL, the code of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) being international and the same in all languages. 3, record 9, English, - Montr%C3%A9al%20Pierre%20Elliott%20Trudeau%20International%20Airport

The Government of Canada English document on Internet cannot be quoted as a source because the name of the city is reproduced without its accent on all the pages found, while the Internet source of the airport administrator gives it correctly. In Canada (with seven exceptions as of December 31, 2004, and "Montréal" is not among them), the name of an inhabited place has the same form in English and French, which form is listed in the Gazetteer of the province or territory in accordance with the inscription in the Incorporation Act of the entity. 3, record 9, English, - Montr%C3%A9al%20Pierre%20Elliott%20Trudeau%20International%20Airport

Aéroport situé dans l'arrondissement de Dorval de la ville de Montréal et desservant la ville pour les envolées privées, locales, nationales et internationales. L'aéroport a d'abord été l'«aéroport de Dorval», du nom d'une ville en banlieue de Montréal, puis l'«aéroport international de Dorval», pour devenir l'aéroport des vols dits «domestiques», soient les vols limités au territoire canadien, avec la construction de l'«aéroport international de Mirabel» inauguré en 1975 et destiné à accueillir les vols internationaux. Mais le manque de lien terrestre entre Montréal et Mirabel a contribué à accorder à l'aéroport de Montréal à Dorval («Montréal-Dorval») sa vocation internationale, laissant à l'aéroport de Mirabel («Montréal-Mirabel») les vols nolisés (jusqu'à l'automne 2004) et les vols cargo; les décisions politiques en ce sens ont entraîné le versement de sommes importantes en vue de l'agrandissement des installations à ce qui était devenu l'«aéroport international de Montréal à Dorval». Avec la fusion de toutes les villes de l'île de Montréal, y compris les anciennes villes de Montréal et de Dorval, pour former la nouvelle ville de Montréal le 1er janvier 2002, l'aéroport est devenu davantage l'«aéroport de Montréal», ce que l'usage avait déjà consacré. Le 1er janvier 2004, il est renommé «aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal», prenant le nom d'un ancien premier ministre du Canada comme d'autres importants aéroports au pays. On peut croire que le nom officiel sera peu souvent cité et que l'usage courant retiendra toutes les formules indiquées correctes sur cette fiche, y compris la recommandation d'Aéroports de Montréal, l'administrateur, d'utiliser dans la langue courante la formule courte «Montréal-Trudeau» (ex. : «quitter depuis l'aéroport Montréal-Trudeau» ou «atterrir à Montréal-Trudeau»). Malgré tous ses changements de nom et de vocation, l'aéroport n'a jamais porté de nom comprenant une virgule et a toujours 4, record 9, French, - a%C3%A9roport%20international%20Pierre%2DElliott%2DTrudeau%20de%20Montr%C3%A9al
