The Way

The structure designing and working principle simulating of a multi-locomotion mode spherical robot which has two basic movement patterns-globule mode and three-wheel mode is proposed in this paper. When the two hemispherical shells are closed, the robot is in a globule mode, which is easy to carry, throw and achieve all directional movements on the ground. When faced with sand and slope, it can expand to a three-wheel mode, and enhance the ability to adapt to the environment. Three-dimensional technology is used for building a virtual prototype of the spherical robot, as well as the motion simulation of the spherical robot. Compared with the traditional designing and analyzing methods, the way based on three-dimensional technology is more economical, more convenient and faster.

The machinery composition and working principle of 3-TPT parallel machine tool were analyzed. The three dimensional solid models of components of 3-TPT parallel machine tool were designed by using Pro/E. The virtual assembly and connection of the machine tool were accomplished in the assembly environment of Pro/E. Besides, the three-dimensional motion simulation of mechanism about the machine tool was researched in the mechanism module of Pro/E. The three-dimensional animation achieved by the simulation has the strong sense of reality. The working principle of the parallel machine tool was verified by the simulation.

Wheeled Robot

Combined with the advantages of good protection of global robot, self-equilibrium, easy control of wheeled robot and strong obstacle surmounting ability of turbofan robot, a variable structure mobile robot which has three kinds of basic modalities of global, turbofan and three-wheel is designed. The balancing leg is retracted and the two polymorphic wheels of the robot are closed into a sphere while in the global state, and it could be conveniently threw, carried and make all directional movements on the flat grounds. When confronted with the complicated terrain environments of sand, slopes etc., the two polymorphic wheels will be outspread to the turbofan state, and the balancing leg will be opened out as a third supporting wheel so as to strengthen the ability to adapt to the environment. When the two polymorphic wheels are expanded into two wheels, the robot motions are more smoothly and easily to be controlled. A virtual prototype of the robot is designed by three-dimensional technology, as well as the motion simulation. Rationality of the mechanism design scheme of the variable structure mobile robot is verified.

Visual Basic 6.0

On the basis of analyzing assembly process of main structural components in CA6140 lathe, 3D models for those components were established with CAD software UGNX6.0. Virtual assembly and motion simulation of the structure parts were performed with virtual technology. A set of virtual assembly system of CA6140 engine lathe was developed with programming software Visual Basic 6.0. It contains six main modules about spindle box, feed box, apron, tailstock, turret, etc. Dynamic simulation and motion simulation of the corresponding components in entity lathe can be realized, respectively. And also, mechanical structure, working principle, assembly relation between different components and motion transmission process of the lathe can be realistically reproduced with the system. This virtual assembly system not only can be used to analyze and transform old products, but also can be used in new products development, and to some extent, can be used to replace the prototype. It is an indispensable tool in the employee training and mechanical engineering activities.

The Way

Differences and similarities in the way marine and continental organisms occupy space are briefly reviewed. Among them, the ‘peninsula effect’ (the decline of species richness with distance from the source) is compared with the ‘bay effect’. Two cases, corals in Mochima Bay, Venezuela and fishes in the Baltic Sea, are presented as examples. The facts that the world’s oceans are larger, continuous and three-dimensional, with fewer evident geographical barriers than there are on land, explain why marine biogeographical regions are less welldefined and geographical ranges of marine taxa more wide-spread. I his generalization has, however, been questioned following recent findings of extremely rich and highly endemic benthic faunas. This problem is discussed using an index of cosmopolitanism to compare terrestrial and marine biotas.

With the increasing of the number of cars, people are also getting higher and higher demands on the performance of the car, and especially pay attention to the improvement and optimization of automobile transmission system. The transmission is a key part of automobile transmission system, and transmission performance and stability depend on the synchronous machine, so in order to make the vehicle transmission system with higher efficiency, it is necessary to study the synchronous machine. On the basis of elaborating synchronous machine working principle, the use of dynamics theory to establish mathematical model of synchronous machine system, and to carry out the simulation of synchronous machine three-dimensional model in PRO/E environment, then the use of virtual prototype technology to optimize the parameters of synchronous machine, thereby improving the performance of synchronous machine.

The Way

AbstractAnimals navigate through three-dimensional environments, but we argue that the way they encode three-dimensional spatial information is shaped by how they use the vertical component of space. We agree with Jeffery et al. that the representation of three-dimensional space in vertebrates is probably bicoded (with separation of the plane of locomotion and its orthogonal axis), but we believe that their suggestion that the vertical axis is stored “contextually” (that is, not containing distance or direction metrics usable for novel computations) is unlikely, and as yet unsupported. We describe potential experimental protocols that could clarify these differences in opinion empirically.
