Effects of age and functional limitation on leg joint power and work during stance phase of gait We have shown previously that linear segmental power calculations (net joint force multiplied by segment endpoint velocity) are sensitive to joint gap velocity discrepancies and, to a smaller degree, numerical differentiation of displacement data (32). It was theorized that dependent variable(s) having significant differences between healthy elders and elders with impairment that are not significantly different between healthy young and healthy elders, would be deemed sensitive to mobility impairments. Six DOF segment kinematics, force plate data, and inertial parameters were input into a Newtonian inverse dynamic algorithm (32) to compute the instantaneous three-dimensional (3D) net joint moments at the ankle, knee, and hip of the stance leg from heel strike (zero percent stance) to toe-off (100 percent stance). www.vard.org /jour/99/36/3/mcgibbon.htm

The Ultimate Keyboard expression - American History Information Guide and Reference For example, the piano responds exceptionally well to the force with which the keys are initially pressed; It is velocity sensitive. The clavichord and some electronic keyboards also respond to the force with which a key is held down after the initial impact; They are pressure sensitive. Several of its predecessors, such as the harpsichord, were less velocity sensitive than the piano, which is one of key the advantages of the piano. www.historymania.com /american_history/Velocity_sensitive

IBM Research Almaden Research Center Science and Technology Nanoscale Science Atomic Scale Microscopy and Science Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy The magnetic tip is attached to a sensitive micromechanical cantilever that will bend in response to small forces, including the magnetic forces due to the magnetic nuclei in the sample. This is because the forces that need to be detected are still extremely small - in the attonewton range - and because the behavior of individual spins in the presence of a nearby ferromagnetic tip is not well understood. Magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) is a new microscopic imaging technique that combines aspects of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). www.almaden.ibm.com /st/nanoscale_science/asms/mrfm   (843 words)

Instron Corporation's Advice is Misguided re Food Texture Testing in AACC Nov-Dec 2001 Cereal Foods World Force readings are typically more sensitive than deformation readings, and people do not chew their foods to a force. You could quantify (i) the number and size of the force peaks which occurred as the population of snack products was compressed, (ii) the average gradient of the force peaks, or (iii) even some form of fractal analysis of the plot line (perhaps Kolmogorov plots or even simply quantifying the linear length of the line). Even mechanically sliced bread is not perfectly flat and the captured force at the 25% strain distance should be calculated from a repeatable determination of the true surface of the bread. www.texturetechnologies.com /Instron_is_misguided.html   (843 words)

Drag of Blunt Bodies and Streamlined Bodies This drag is associated with the formation of a wake, which can be readily seen behind a passing boat, and it is usually less sensitive to Reynolds number than the frictional drag. Formally, both types of drag are due to viscosity (if the body was moving through an an inviscid fluid there would be no drag at all), but the distinction is useful because the two types of drag are due to different flow phenomena. Pressure drag is important for separated flows, and it is related to the cross-sectional area of the body. www.princeton.edu /~asmits/Bicycle_web/blunt.html   (1069 words)

PROBING THE RELATION BETWEEN FORCE – LIFETIME – AND CHEMISTRY IN SINGLE MOLECULAR BONDS As such, measurements of force versus log(loading rate) have established an exquisitely sensitive method to reveal the properties of a prominent energy barrier traversed along the force-driven pathway for many types of single molecule interactions. Probed with ramps of force, single-ideal bonds exhibit a kinetically-limited fracture where rupture forces increase logarithmically with the force rate—reflecting exponential decrease in bond lifetime with rising force. In such cases, application of force may switch or mechanically couple pathways to produce unexpected changes in bond strength and chemical function on different time scales. ib.bio.uu.nl /seminars/abstracts/Evans.htm   (302 words)

Violence In The Congo: A Perspective Of United Nation's Peacekeeping In the Congo, the United Nations was sensitive to the political conotations of intelligence gathering by a peacekeeping force. He stated that the "way of force offers no possibility for an international body operating in a soverign country at the invitation of that country."34 Several incidents which occurred are illustrative of some of the dif- ficulties created by the prohibition on the use of force. The Force entered the Congo as peacekeepers, but was forced to endure four years of sporadic, often savage, fighting against forces that its restrictive rules of en- gagement frequently would not allow it to fight. www.globalsecurity.org /military/library/report/1984/BDR.htm   (19181 words)

Gravity in Micron Distance Scale Combining ultra sensitive force detection techniques from atomic force microscopy, and nanoscale fabrication techniques of three-dimensional structures, this instrument will enable force measurements between two micron-sized masses down to femto-Newton range. The theory of unification led to the eventual discovery of fundamental particles of electroweak force, the W and Z bosons. However, the other three forces could be shown to be the manifestation of a single unifying force, known as the electroweak force. nano.bu.edu /gravity1-b.htm   (358 words)

The opposing forces within you On the other hand, the conjuncted person is appreciative of the alchemical forces at work in relationships and careers and tends to be considerably kinder and more sensitive. The opposing forces within you, whose conflicts have kept you drained and confused for so long, are finally coming together as one. It is now time for these archetypal forces to come together and nurture their newborn child, which is a refined and integrated personality. www.alchemylab.com /quiz4.htm   (645 words)

[79.11] Intergalactic Dust Gravitational force from the stellar, dust and gas disk as well as the dark matter halo exerts a downward force. This, together with the fact that (1) very small grains (with small radiation pressure efficiencies) are not well coupled to starlight; (2) for large grains the radiative force to the gravitational force is approximately inversely proportional to grain size, acts as a size ``filter'' for dust leaking into the intergalactic space. Since the radiation pressure efficiency and the grain destruction rate are sensitive to dust composition, the relative importance of carbon dust compared to silicate dust expelled into the intergalactic space differs from that in the galactic plane. www.aas.org /publications/baas/v34n4/aas201/730.htm   (645 words)

www.GovExec.com - Lawmakers question policy on transportation security information (9/15/04) When TSA designates information as SSI, its disclosure is limited by a strict need-to-know basis as determined by the agency, and disclosure restrictions remain in force until revoked by the agency. "Although the release of certain sensitive information could put the nation's citizens and infrastructure at risk, the federal government should be mindful of the public's legitimate interest in, and right to know, information related to threats to the transportation system and associated vulnerabilities," they said. In another example, TSA said certain information related to the electronic screening of checked baggage at airports was SSI when the information had already been reported in the public domain. www.govexec.com /dailyfed/0904/091504c1.htm   (651 words)

Tech Talk with Lynn Bennett - 9/1/2005 None of the Brit forks I have seen have linear velocity sensitive dampening (the velocity dampening that they have gets stiffer and stiffer as the velocity of the oil through the passages increases, which is not ideal) so they can be a bit harsh in their action on big, sharp edged bumps. They are usually made to be linear velocity sensitive in their dampening and have no position sensitive dampening. Rear dampers incorporate linear velocity sensitive dampening by using various types of blow off valves that actuate depending on the velocity of the oil trying to pass through them. www.scnoc.5u.com /custom2.html   (1555 words)
