A Compliant Contact-Aided Revolute Joint, Jessie R. Cannon, Larry L. Howell

Faculty Publications

This paper presents the compliant contact-aided revolute (CCAR) joint, a planar mechanism capable of performing the functions of a bearing and a spring. The pseudo-rigid-body model is used to predict the behavior of the CCAR joint, and this model is validated through the use of finite element analysis and prototype testing. The CCAR joint is shown to have high maximum rotation and lateral stiffness. A case study is presented, and manufacturing considerations are discussed for the macro, meso, and micro scales.

Solids Flow Mapping In A High Pressure Slurry Bubble Column, Novica Rados, Ashfaq Shaikh, Muthanna H. Al-Dahhan

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Successful Design and Scale-Up of Slurry Bubble Column Reactors (SBCRs) Require Proper Understanding of How Operating Conditions Affect their Flow Behavior. Presently, there is Little Information on the Flow Dynamics of Solids (E.g., Distribution of Velocities and Turbulent Parameters) in Slurry Systems that Are Operated at Industrially Relevant Conditions of High Pressure, High Superficial Gas Velocities, and High Solids Loading. Computer Automated Radio Particle Tracking (CARPT) is Widely Recognized as One of a Few Techniques that Can Be Reliably Used Even in Highly Turbulent and Opaque Slurry Flows. This Work Utilizes an Improved CARPT Technique to Investigate the Effect of …

Extinguishing Security Interests: Secured Claims In Japanese Reorganization Law And Some Policy Implications To The U.S. Law, Wataru Tanaka

ExpressO

This Article examines how secured claims are treated in Japanese business reorganization law, especially in the Civil Rehabilitation Act (Minji saisei ho), which was enacted in 1999 as the new general reorganization regime in Japan. Unlike the U.S. Bankruptcy Act, the Civil Rehabilitation Act does not have automatic stay on secured claims, nor does it allow any modification of secured claims by the rehabilitation plans. However, the Civil Rehabilitation Act has a unique procedure to restrict the rights of secured creditors, which is called “the procedure of extinguishing security interests (tanpo-ken shometsu seikyu tetsuzuki).” This procedure permits a debtor to …

Theory In Search Of Practice: The Right Of Innocent Passage In The Territorial Sea, Kissi Agyebeng

Cornell Law School J.D. Student Research Papers

The evolution of the law of the sea has been shaped largely by two notions, namely, freedom of navigation on the one hand, and restricted access on the other hand. The interaction between these two opposing notions has led to the acceptance of two compromise concepts, namely, the territorial sea and the right of innocent passage. These concepts have now been codified in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This paper examines the right of innocent passage in the territorial sea under the Law of the Sea Convention regime as matched against contemporary state practice. …

Bulk Silicon Based Temperature Sensor, Bharath Bethala Kishanlal Premchand

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

A bulk silicon temperature sensor is fabricated in this work. The objective is to develop a low-cost high resolution temperature sensor. The target applications are a Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) sensor for oceanic applications and a magnetocaloric microcooler.

The properties of silicon are modified by thermal diffusion of gold. Gold is a fast diffuser in silicon and its diffusion contributes to the increase in resistivity of silicon. The addition of gold to n-type silicon creates a negative temperature coefficient device. The effect of the diffusing environment was investigated by diffusing in oxygen and nitrogen ambient at various temperatures. The influence of area …

Perpetuities Or Tax: Explaining The Rise Of The Perpetual Trust, Max M. Schanzenbach, Robert H. Sitkoff

Public Law and Legal Theory Papers

By abolishing the Rule Against Perpetuities, 21 states have validated perpetual trusts. The prevailing view among scholars is that the 1986 generation skipping transfer (GST) tax prompted the movement to abolish the Rule by conferring a salient tax advantage on long-term trusts. However, an alternate view holds that demand for perpetual trusts stems from donors’ preference for control independent of tax considerations. Proponents of both views have adduced supporting anecdotal evidence. Using state-level panel data on trust assets prior to the adoption of the GST tax, we examine whether a state’s abolition of the Rule gave the state an advantage …
