Synchronized closed-path following for a mobile robot and an Euler-Lagrange system
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-20)We propose and solve a synchronized path following problem for a differential drive robot modeled as a dynamic unicycle and an Euler-Lagrange system. Each system is assigned a simple closed curve in its output space. The ... -
Synchronized Motion Control of Dual Robot Manipulator Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-14)Dual manipulator systems are capable of accomplishing a variety of tasks, such as manipulating large and heavy objects and assembling parts, that might be impossible for single manipulators. These collaborative tasks ... -
Synergy in Additive Manufacturing and Machining of Complex Design Topologies
(University of Waterloo, 2019-06-25)Additive manufacturing (AM) enables freedom of design, part complexity and customization with minimal added cost, light weighting, design for function, and part consolidation. It is gaining increasing interests in the ... -
Syntactic Complexities of Nine Subclasses of Regular Languages
(University of Waterloo, 2012-07-31)The syntactic complexity of a regular language is the cardinality of its syntactic semigroup. The syntactic complexity of a subclass of the class of regular languages is the maximal syntactic complexity of languages in ... -
Syntheses and Applications of Vinylstannanes
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-10)The development of methods for the synthesis of vinylstannanes is reported. The applications of these useful compounds are highlighted in a variety of total syntheses of natural products. -
Synthesis and Application of Graphene Decorated Nanocomposites for Photovoltaics and Printed Electronics
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-07)Improving the yield performance of commercial solar cells has been a major topic of interest for many research studies as different processing parameters are extensively explored. Screen printing metallization is the most ... -
Synthesis and Characterisation of Chiral Nanomaterials and their Influence on Stem Cell Differentiation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-11)Tissue engineering is a field related to regenerative medicine which aims at replacing or regenerating a patient’s tissue, usually using a combination of cells and a bioactive material which is designed to influence cell ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Cyclopentadienyl Dicarbonyldiphenylphosphinopropyliron for Migratory Insertion Polymerization
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-29)Metal-containing polymers (MCPs) are emerging as a class of interesting materials with promising properties and functions. Although many techniques are available for their synthesis, the range of main-chain MCPs available ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Dissymmetric Gemini Surfactants for Gene Delivery Application
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-29)The lack of safe and efficient gene- delivery methods has been constantly a limiting obstacle to human gene therapy. Viral vectors have been superior in delivering exogenous DNA or RNA into a foreign cell due to their ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Ethylene Carbonate Modified Polyisobutylene Succinimide Dispersants
(University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)Succinimide-based dispersants are the most commonly used dispersants in the oil industry. They are used in engine oil to prevent the aggregation of carbon-rich particles generated during engine operation, and consequently ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Furan-Based Non-ionic Surfactants (FBNIOS)
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-27)A series of furan-based non-ionic surfactants (fbnios) derived from 5-(chloromethyl)furfural (5-CMF), a feedstock prepared by Origin Materials through a carbon negative process, were prepared from commercially available ... -
