Classic direct mechanisms require full type (or utility) revelation from participating agents, something that can be very difficult in practical multi-attribute settings. In this...
We study the online version of the classical parallel machine scheduling problem to minimize the total weighted completion time from a new perspective: We assume that the data of ...
A new parallel-type gripper mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogramic platform that can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be u...
— In this paper we study the problem of stabilizing a networked control system (NCS) composed of N linear dynamical subplants and an equal number of controllers acting over a sha...
Flexure hinge has been commonly used as a substitute for mechanical joints in the design of micropositioning mechanisms. However, inaccurate modeling of flexure hinges deteriorates...
