Sterowanie robotem Robin Heart Pelikan z zastosowaniem siłowego sprzężenia zwrotnego = Force Feedback Control System Dedicated for Robin Heart Pelikan

Przedmiotem niniejszej pracy jest badanie systemów sterowania robota Robin Heart PVA (ang. Port Vision Able) z zastosowaniem specjalnych mikroczujników siły 3D MEMS. Postawiono trzy różne sposoby wykorzystania opracowywanych czujników: (1) jako czujnik siły wykorzystany jako mikrodżojstik zintegrowany w rękojeścią narzędzia endoskopowego, aby łatwo kontrolować ruch robota wizyjnego podczas pracy chirurga; (2) jako czujnik siły wewnątrz szczęki narzędzia endoskopowego dla dostarczenia informacji zwrotnej do operatora-chirurga, mierząc siłę chwytu; (3) jako czujnik wielowymiarowy dotyku na końcu narzędzia chirurgicznego, co ułatwia badanie palpacyjne do diagnostyki tkanek podczas pracy. Artykuł ten jest studium wykonalności w zakresie proponowanych zastosowań. Model sterowania robota przy użyciu prototypowego czujnika siły 3D został pomyślnie przetestowany w badaniach funkcjonalnych robota. Wstępne badania sensorów wykazały ich przydatność dla sterowania robotem ze sprzężeniem siłowym, aby ocenić stan tkanek oraz do oceny siły docisku chirurgicznego chwytaka. The aim of this work is to investigate the control systems of Robin Heart PVA (Port Vision Able) using special 3D MEMS force microsensors. Three different functions are targeted: (1) micro-joystick actuator to be integrated in the hilt of the laparoscope to easily control robotic movement during operation; (2) force sensor inside the laparoscopic jaw to provide feedback to the surgeon by measuring the grasping strength; (3) 3D force/tactile sensor which facilitates palpation for tissue diagnostics during operation. This paper is a feasibility study regarding these proposed applications. A model of the robot controller using a prototype 3D sensor force has been successfully tested during the study of functional robot. Pre-studies of prototype sensors have demonstrated their usefulness in robot force feedback system to assess the state of tissue and to assess the clamping force the grasper surgical system

Azimuthal anisotropy of charged jet production in root s(NN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions

We present measurements of the azimuthal dependence of charged jet production in central and semi-central root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions with respect to the second harmonic event plane, quantified as nu(ch)(2) (jet). Jet finding is performed employing the anti-k(T) algorithm with a resolution parameter R = 0.2 using charged tracks from the ALICE tracking system. The contribution of the azimuthal anisotropy of the underlying event is taken into account event-by-event. The remaining (statistical) region-to-region fluctuations are removed on an ensemble basis by unfolding the jet spectra for different event plane orientations independently. Significant non-zero nu(ch)(2) (jet) is observed in semi-central collisions (30-50% centrality) for 20 <p(T)(ch) (jet) <90 GeV/c. The azimuthal dependence of the charged jet production is similar to the dependence observed for jets comprising both charged and neutral fragments, and compatible with measurements of the nu(2) of single charged particles at high p(T). Good agreement between the data and predictions from JEWEL, an event generator simulating parton shower evolution in the presence of a dense QCD medium, is found in semi-central collisions.

Production of He-4 and (4) in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S=2.76 TeV at the LHC

Results on the production of He-4 and (4) nuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 2.76 TeV in the rapidity range vertical bar y vertical bar <1, using the ALICE detector, are presented in this paper. The rapidity densities corresponding to 0-10% central events are found to be dN/dy4(He) = (0.8 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.3 (syst)) x 10(-6) and dN/dy4 = (1.1 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)) x 10(-6), respectively. This is in agreement with the statistical thermal model expectation assuming the same chemical freeze-out temperature (T-chem = 156 MeV) as for light hadrons. The measured ratio of (4)/He-4 is 1.4 +/- 0.8 (stat) +/- 0.5 (syst). (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

Elliptic flow of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76TeV

The elliptic flow, v(2), of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays at forward rapidity (2.5 <y <4) is measured in Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)= 2.76TeVwith the ALICE detector at the LHC. The scalar product, two- and four-particle Q cumulants and Lee-Yang zeros methods are used. The dependence of the v(2) of muons from heavy-flavour hadron decays on the collision centrality, in the range 0-40%, and on transverse momentum, p(T), is studied in the interval 3 <p(T)<10 GeV/c. A positive v(2) is observed with the scalar product and two-particle Q cumulants in semi-central collisions (10-20% and 20-40% centrality classes) for the p(T) interval from 3 to about 5GeV/c with a significance larger than 3 sigma, based on the combination of statistical and systematic uncertainties. The v(2) magnitude tends to decrease towards more central collisions and with increasing pT. It becomes compatible with zero in the interval 6 <p(T)<10 GeV/c. The results are compared to models describing the interaction of heavy quarks and open heavy-flavour hadrons with the high-density medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.
