Design of Flapping Wing Aircraft based on Crank Chute Mechanism by Qi Li, Yu Cai, Xiansheng Huang, Bin Liu

“…The results show that the crank chute mechanism can eliminate the phase lag between the wings and reduce the influence of lift imbalance on the fuselage； when the crank length is 4.5 mm，the up stroke angle and down stroke angle of the wing are 45° and -15°； the flapping wing aircraft can achieve stable flight in the air.…”

Anticipation training for expert tennis players when facing a specific player by Céline Triolet, Céline Triolet, Nicolas Benguigui

“…The aim of this study was to use an implicit training protocol (no information was given to participants) based on the knowledge of one particular opponent to analyse how experts could improve their anticipation ability.MethodProfessional tennis players were tested and trained in a protocol consisted of watching videos with temporal occlusions before the opponent stroke and guessing the direction of the stroke. Three groups took part in the experiment: one with a specific training with the same opponent as in pre- and post-tests; one with a various training with players other than the one used in pre- and post-tests (to control that the improvement is link with the knowledge of one specific opponent and not to an adaptation to the task) and one control group without practice.ResultsOnly the group trained with the same opponent increased its response accuracy.DiscussionOur results suggest that anticipation can be improved in professional tennis players with a very specific training providing information about the opponent.…”
