Abstract: In this paper a new model for center of motion
creating is proposed. This new method uses cables. So, it is very
useful in robots because it is light and has easy assembling process.
In the robots which need to be in touch with some things this method
is so useful. It will be described in the following. The accuracy of the
idea is proved by two experiments. This system could be used in the
robots which need a fixed point in the contact with some things and
make a circular motion.
Abstract: Implicit in most large-scale numerical analyses of the crystal growth from the melt is the assumption that the shape and position of the phase boundary are determined by the transport phenomena coupled strongly to the melt hydrodynamics. In the present numerical study, the interface shape-effect on the convective interactions in a Czochralski oxide melt is described. It was demonstrated that thermocapillary flow affects inversely the phase boundaries of distinct shapes. The inhomogenity of heat flux and the location of the stagnation point at the crystallization front were investigated. The forced convection effect on the point displacement at the boundary found to be much stronger for the flat plate interface compared to the cone-shaped one with and without the Marangoni flow.
