A mathematical model can improve the accuracy and repeatability of a positioning system by learning to anticipate tiny errors in its movements. Micromanipulation systems are used to control objects' ...

• When the size of the work exceeds 1 m, angular errors become amplified in three dimensions at a rate of 5 μm/arc-sec/m. • In a typical situation, the global XYZ machine-coordinate system is defined ...

Mathematical modelling provides a rigorous framework for deciphering the complex dynamics of biological systems. By formulating systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and other mathematical ...

Paul English, sales and business development manager for Alstom's Marine and Offshore activities, looks back at the company's role in the development of Dynamic Positioning Systems. In recent years, ...
