Research of the Actual Path for Hybrid Input Five-bar Mechanism by Lin Bin, Yu Haiyan, Zhang Wenjun

“…While the hybrid input five-bar mechanism in the process of actual movement,constant velocity motor will generate speed fluctuation,as a result terminal actuator will come out path error.An actual path synthesis method in consideration of hybrid input mechanism dynamics is proposed in order to generate much more accurate path.By means of five times spline functions interpolation method making the ideal path of servo motor second-order continuous,the dynamics model of hybrid input mechanism which in consideration of motor dynamics is given,the calculation of the dynamics model is described,with the input of the servo motor as design variables to reduce the path error of end executor.Example simulation certifies that the path of the proposed method can generate more accurate path.…”

Network selection algorithm based on synergetic for heterogeneous wireless network by Ran LUO, Su ZHAO, Qi ZHU

“…The simulation results show that the QoS satisfaction rate of services based on the proposed algorithm is 95%, while the QoS satisfaction rate of services based on the TOPSIS algorithm is only 25%, and the performance of the former is improved by nearly four times, indicating that the problem of multi-service terminal network selection can be solved by the proposed algorithm.…”

Q-learning based handoff algorithm for satellite system with ancillary terrestrial component by Dan-ni XIONG, Yi LI

“…,mobile satellite system with ancillary terres-trial component (MSS-ATC),the long transmission delay of satellite link was a huge challenge which may lead to high handoff dropping probability.In order to address this problem,a novel handoff decision strategy was proposed based on the predictive RSS and Q-learning algorithm.Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can de-crease the handoff dropping probability,reduce the unnecessary handoff times and maximize the network reward.In ad-dition,the proposed scheme can also adapt to the situation of high-speed movement very well.…”

The Reader at Play in “Auggie Wren’s Christmas Story” by Paul Auster by Linda Collinge-Germain

“…Though Paul Auster, in spite of his spending several years in France, most probably had no contact with Picard’s essay, his story “Auggie Wren’s Christmas Story,” published on December 25, 1990 in The New York Times, seems, uncannily, nearly an illustration of the theory of “Reading as Play” as both in its form and its content the story problematizes the dialectics of participation and distancing inherent in the literary reading process defined by Picard.…”
