  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

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.

CONT

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.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drugs and Drug Addiction
DEF

A cocaine derivative produced with the help of ether.

CONT

When cocaine is purchased in its alkaloid form, it is commonly called "crack" or "rock", although pharmacologically it is the same as "freebase" cocaine.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Drogues et toxicomanie
CONT

[...] le crack, c'est de la cocaïne presque pure mélangée à du bicarbonate de soude, de manière à obtenir une pâte qui, une fois durcie et cassée en petits morceaux, peut être fumée.

OBS

Par des procédés chimiques, on enlève les impuretés de la cocaïne et on la transforme en une cocaïne qui se fume seulement (Guide de rédaction et glossaire sur les drogues, Gendarmerie royale du Canada, 1988, page 21.)

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Drogas y toxicomanía
CONT

La base libre se prepara procesando la cocaína con amonio o bicarbonato de sodio. Esta forma es termoestable y es preparada para ser fumada. Es conocida como "Crack" por el sonido que produce al ser calentada.
