The visual plumes model encompassing the DKHW (Davis, Kannberg, Hirst model for Windows) and Update Merge (UM3) sub-models were utilized in the modeling exercise. In theory, the dilution capacity of open waters, particularly coastal areas, straits and oceans are enormous. This means that for surface and sub-merged point source discharges, the efflu

This paper presents the development of the mathematical model and controller of a light weight and small size robot finger. The finger possesses self adaptive grasping capability and is made of seven bar linkages with a slider or lead screw mechanism in the middle phalanx to adjust its effective length in realizing both pinching and grasping tasks.

The experimental study of position control of a light weight and small size robotic finger during non-contact motion is presented in this paper. The finger possesses fingertip pinching and self adaptive grasping capabilities, and is made of a seven bar linkage mechanism with a slider in the middle phalanx. The control system is tested under the Pro
