Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsElderly People Fall Detection System Using Skeleton Tracking and RecognitionD. Bansal, Abeer Alsadoon, P.W.C. Prasad et al.The fall detection systems use a variety of technologies like sensors, wearable devices, color camera, thermal camera etc. With the use of Microsoft Kinect camera for non-gaming purposes, depth images have started being utilized for fall detection. Various authors have made an attempt at using Kinect for fall detection in combination with a variety of techniques like ellipse analysis, bounding … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 9 · 7 Nov 2018 · 8,212 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNasa Selects Concepts for a New Mission to Titan, the Moon of SaturnRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuNasa just has selected two new concepts for some new robotic missions, one of which aims to explore potential landing sites on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. This first concept is named Dragonfly, which is a drone-like rotorcraft that would use the environment on Titan to fly to a number of locations to sample materials and determine surface composition to examine … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2018 · 12,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractENHANCED CAPILLARY RISE OF WETTING LIQUIDS IN REDUCED GRAVITATIONAL SHIELDING UNDER MICROGRAVITY CONDITIONSGeorge D. Zouganelis, Ioannis Gkigkitzis, Ioannis HaranasWe study the capillary rise of wetting in liquids by slightly modifying Ponomarenko’s result, a recently derived and observed t1/3 law, without omitting the corresponding gravity term and therefore we find hnew (t)≅0.9085hPon (t) instead, which corresponds to a 9% difference. Furthermore, in order to examine the effect of corrected gravity, we extend the result on the surface of a … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 21 Jun 2014 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearches Concerning the using of Moven© Inertial Navigation System in Monitoring the Male Triple Jump EventMihilescu Liliana, Mihai Ilie, Bidiugan RaduProblem statement: This study aims to highlight ways of using Moven© inertial navigation system applied in the monitoring of the male triple jump event technique. Inertial navigation system involves the use of some elements to determine the coordinates and speed of a body by processing information related to its acceleration. Approach: The research results point out that this equipment can … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 16 Jul 2011 · 7,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiomechanical Analysis of Ankle Force: A Case Study for Instep KickingA. R. Ismail, M. R.A. Mansor, M. F.M. Ali et al.Problem statement: The objective of this study was to identify, analyze and build the force equation that involved the velocity, acceleration, angle and distance at the ankle when making the instep kick. Approach: One subject which is a male national soccer player had been chosen as a subject for the study. The subject was selected from professional soccer player with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,474 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPower Enhancement of Weightlifters during Snatch through Reducing Torque on Joints by Particle Swarm OptimizationFirooz Salaami, Nima Jamshidi, Mostafa Rostami, Siamak NajarianIn this research, an athlete's body on sagittal plane in tension phase of snatch weightlifting has been modeled in two dimensions for calculating the generated torques in joints. The error back propagation multi-layer perceptrons has been used for modeling the torque through changing the angular velocity, angular acceleration and absolute angle of each segment. Finally, the torque in joints has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Evaluation of an Assisting Device for Training "Normal-Like" Sit To Stand MovementPierluigi Rea, Erika Ottaviano, Gianni CastelliThis paper presents a performance evaluation and results on the modelling and simulation of an assisting device to be used as aiding or guiding system for people with reduced mobility. There is a high level of motivation for elderly to perform independently basic Activities of Daily Life (ADL). Therefore, it is of great interest to design and implement reliable assisting … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2017 · 7,694 accessesView PDFCite
