To resolve this dilemma, this paper develops a theory of inscrutable mechanism selection. The principal's neutral optima are defined as the smallest possible set of unblocked mechanisms. They are ...

Bell-Everman's new ServoSpline positioning stage offers a unique drive mechanism that provides backlash-free motion and simplified control.

Edited by: Leland Teschler New actuators borrow ideas from linear motors to provide controlled displacement on a budget.

To maintain the high performance levels required from precision linear devices, users need to protect them from the contaminants that occur throughout the production processes ...

The field of mechanism design investigates how to construct systems and institutional rules that lead self‐interested agents to outcomes which achieve societal objectives. Auction theory, a key ...

This design has been used to develop a family of power MOSFETs with extended FBSOA suitable for reliable operation in linear mode. Datasheets of these MOSFETs contain guaranteed FBSOA graphs.

We study the design of mechanisms for a sequencing problem where the types of job-agents consist of processing times and waiting costs that are private to the jobs.

This study unveils the relationship between Berry curvature and LPMR, thus facilitating the understanding and functional design of LPMR materials for magnetic sensing or information storage.

Discover Yamaha's innovative linear conveyor system with a unique sliding mechanism. Smooth and controlled movement along the rail, accommodating thermal expansion. Includes a lifting and lowering ...
