An Entropy Scaling Demarcation of Gas- and Liquid-like Fluid Behaviors

April 1, 2020
Author(s)
Ian H. Bell, Guillaume Galliero, Stephanie Delage-Santacreu, Lorenzo Costigliola
In this work we propose a generic and simple definition of a line separating gas-like and liquid-like fluid behaviors in the supercritical region. We argue that this line is defined by the location of the minimum of the macroscopically scaled viscosity

Benchmarking Protocols for Evaluating Grasp Strength, Grasp Cycle Time, Finger Strength, and Finger Repeatability of Robot End-effectors

April 1, 2020
Author(s)
Joseph A. Falco, Daniel Hemphill, Kenneth E. Kimble, Elena R. Messina, Adam Norton, Rafael F. Ropelato, Holly A. Yanco
This paper describes a set of metrics and supporting benchmarking protocols for determining the performance characteristics of robot end-effectors. In the short-term, these tools are proving useful as a common ground for assessing and comparing end

Benchmarking Protocols for Evaluating Small Parts Robotic Assembly Systems

April 1, 2020
Author(s)
Kenneth Kimble, Joseph Falco, Elena R. Messina, Karl Van Wyk , Yu Sun, Mizuho Shibata, Wataru Uemura, Yasuyoshi Yokokohji
This paper presents a set of performance metrics, test methods, and associated artifacts to help progress the development and deployment of robotic assembly systems. The designs for three task board artifacts that replicate small part insertions and

Discovering Mathematical Objects of Interest - A Study of Mathematical Notations

April 1, 2020
Author(s)
Howard S. Cohl, Andre Greiner Petter, Moritz Schubotz, Corinna Breitinger, Fabian Muller, Akiko Aizawa, Bela Gipp
Mathematical notation, i.e., the writing system used to communicate concepts in mathematics, encodes valuable information for a variety of information search and retrieval systems. Yet, mathematical notations remain mostly unutilized by today's systems. In

Metallo-N-Heterocycles - A New Family of Hydrogen Storage Material

April 1, 2020
Author(s)
Khai Chen Tan, Yang Yu, Ruting Chen, Teng He, Zijun Jing, Qijun Pei, Jintao Wang, Yong Shen Chua, Anan Wu, Wei Zhou, Hui Wu, Ping Chen
Storing hydrogen efficiently in condensed material under mild conditions is a key technique challenge. Here, we developed a new family of hydrogen storage material spanning across the domain of inorganic and organic hydrides, namely metalorganic hydrides
