torque

torque variance

Individual torque converters. You're crazy!

It's got safety features, torque converters on every wheel... double torque converters won't work.

You see the transducer, the light blue.

Torque that acts upon the body

Now, doesn't that just torque your jaws?

There's water in between the skull and the transducer.

Value of the torque, acting on the body

On the right hand side, you see an ultrasonic transducer.

Circular motor applies a constant torque to the body

We attach a transducer, in this case, to the brain, but if it will be a different organ, it will be a different transducer attached to the patient.

And refer to the chuck documentation for the correct torque value

So the ultrasonic transducer emits basically an ultrasonic beam that focuses inside the phantom.

So it consists of two parts, what we call an encoder and a transducer.

When attaching the uncut jaws to the chuck always torque the jaws in place

Use a smaller torque value for aluminum jaws to avoid distorting the screw seats

So, when we did this for responses from the standard method and from our encoder and transducer.

The high pressure turbine is making about two thirds of the torque that's turning the shaft.

And all of these things combine to create an enormous amount of torque on the planet.

And the low pressure turbines are making about one third of the torque that's turning the shaft.

In our case, Andrew will torque the M12 bolts holding these steel jaws to 80 foot pounds

But the key one really is the encoder alone, because we can team up the encoder with the different transducer.

And not only that, the brain is profoundly asymmetric. Drawing of the brain, Yakovlevian torque brain viewed from below

So on the left is the encoder alone, and on the right is from an actual blind retina, so the encoder and the transducer.

And if you want to go faster, say on pavement, you can shift to a high gear, and you get less torque, but higher speeds.

And then the transducer then makes the output cells send the code on up to the brain, and the result is a retinal prosthetic that can produce normal retinal output.

Instead of modeling the set point, we have a secondary controller that understands how much torque it takes to turn a steering wheel and uses that as its information.

You can see, in her case, she's wearing her transducer arrays, one of the front of her chest, one on the back, and then the second pair side to side over the liver.

And if we cannot figure out a way to deal with that torque, we are going to find ourselves more and more and more quickly facing situations which are simply unthinkable.

The top one is from a normal animal, the middle one is from a blind animal that's been treated with this encoder transducer device, and the bottom one is from a blind animal treated with a standard prosthetic.

The whole notion, then, is one that at the interface there are physical properties in that transducer in this case it's pressure and touches that allow you to present things to the user that you could never present before.

It's also about 40 percent more efficient than a regular wheelchair, and because of the mechanical advantage you get from the levers, you can produce 50 percent higher torque and really muscle your way through the really, really rough terrain.

So as you can see, the firing patterns from the blind animal treated with the encoder transducer really do very closely match the normal firing patterns and it's not perfect, but it's pretty good and the blind animal treated with the standard prosthetic, the responses really don't.

I immediately thought of a mountain bike, and a mountain bike's good at doing this because it has a gear train, and you can shift to a low gear if you have to climb a hill or go through mud or sand and you get a lot of torque but a low speed.

Again, the key innovation of this technology is that when he wants to go fast, he just grabs the levers near the pivots and goes through a big angle every stroke, and as the going gets tougher, he just slides his hands up the levers, creates more torque, and kind of bench presses his way out of trouble through the rough terrain.

And that moment of inspiration, that key invention moment, was when I was sitting in front of my design notebook and I started thinking about somebody grabbing a lever, and if they grab near the end of the lever, they can get an effectively long lever and produce a lot of torque as they push back and forth, and effectively get a low gear.
