...Guowu Wei; Xilun Ding; Jian S. Dai This paper investigates the mobility and kinematics of the Hoberman switch-pitch ball, and particularly, its variant that does not resort to bevel gears. The ball variant is a general case of the Hoberman switch-pitch ball and constitutes the ball. This paper...

...Madhusudan Raghavan The generalized lever is a new tool in gear train representation. It extends the traditional concept of a lever representation of a planetary gear set to 1 that includes negative lever ratios. This allows an exhaustive permutation of the nodes of a lever, thereby leading to all...

...Dinesh Rabindran; Delbert Tesar In this paper we introduce a dual-input actuator, based on an epicyclic gear train, called parallel force∕velocity actuator (PFVA) designed for variable response manipulation. The focus of this work is to formulate a parametric representation for internal...
