When a vessel goes down, a hydrostatic release unit decides whether its life rafts reach the surface or disappear with the hull. This explains the rigging, weak links, and pressure activated cutting ...

Abstract: This paper provides a new methodology to compute a reduced but accurate network representation in a transmission expansion planning (TEP) context. Considering this reduced network should ...

Abstract: We present theoretical and experimental results regarding the development and the control of a two-link robotic arm with remotized actuation via rolling diaphragm hydrostatic transmissions.
