Six-axis industrial assembly robotic arms are pivotal in the manufacturing sector, playing a crucial role in the production line.The IPQ-RRT* connect motion planning algorithm for the robotic arm is proposed to improve the assembly process by reducing the time of motion planning and improving the assembly efficiency.The new IPQ-RRT* connect algorit
Turbidity Currents, Submarine Landslides and the 2006 Pingtung Earthquake off SW Taiwan
Submarine landslides or slumps may generate turbidity currents consisting of mixture of sediment and water.Large and fast-moving turbidity currents can incise and erode continental margins and cause damage to artificial structures such as telecommunication cables on the seafloor.In this study, we report that eleven submarine cables across the Kaopi
The Joint-Brain Axis: Insights From Rheumatoid Arthritis on the Crosstalk Between Chronic Peripheral Inflammation and the Brain
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by erosive polyarthritis.Beyond joint pathology, RA is associated with neuropsychiatric comorbidity including depression, anxiety, and an increased risk to develop neurodegenerative diseases in later life.Studies investigating the central nervous system (CNS) in preclinical m
Micro Aspheric Convex Lenses Fabricated by Precise Scraping
An easy, fast, inexpensive, and simple method utilizing a microshaper with a very small knife nose is used to fabricate microconvex aspherical lenses.The microshaper is mounted on a computer numerical control (CNC) machine.To achieve an accurately designed profile of the lens surface, a cutter-path planning algorithm with compensation for knife int
