This paper presents models for a tension-based, multi-stable, large displacement, compliant
rolling-contact element (CORE). The models are capable of determining stress, strain, and …

Background The current generation of total disc replacements achieves excellent short- and
medium-term results by focusing on restoring the quantity of motion. Recent studies indicate …

A healthy spinal disc is capable of 3 degrees of rotation and has a force-deflection response
that helps to stabilize the spine. Age or trauma can cause the stability of the spine to …

Dynamic classification problems present unique challenges beyond those of more traditionalstatic
knowledge-based systems. Uncertain and incomplete input data, unpredictable event …

We report the preparation of highly conductive polyaniline (PANi) fibers produced via a wet-spinning
process into different coagulation solvents or solutions. To the best of our …

Injury, instrumentation, or surgery may change the functional biomechanics of the spine.
Adverse changes at one level may affect the adjacent levels. Modeling these changes can …

The relative motion of the LISA spacecraft will Doppler shift the laser frequencies by around
15 MHz. These Doppler shifts introduce sensitivity to the phase noise of the measurement’s …

The purpose of this research is the development of design concepts and models of large-angle,
compliant, multistable, revolute joints. This research presents evidence of the capability …

The Space Interferometry Mission, scheduled for launch in 2008, is an optical stellar interferometer
with a 10 meter baseline capable of micro-arcsecond accuracy astrometry. A mission-…
