Over the years, tailgate attachments have evolved from rigid hinge mechanisms bolted to a pickup truck's bed to a simple and lightweight cable suspension method that snaps in place, he said.
The mechanism adopts a flexure-based concept on its joints to address the inherent nonlinearities associated with the application of conventional rigid hinges.
Principal Component Analysis (Additional file 2) combined with dynamical domain motion analysis using DynDom suggests that domains I to III (residues 1 to 480) generally behave as a rigid body, with hinge regions varying in their location in domain IV, depending on the binding partner of the receptor (Additional files 7 and 8).
The finite curved beam element model is effective in dealing with the spacers between the bundled conductors and the joint between the conductors and spacers that can be simulated as a rigid joint or a hinge.
Hinged structure is composed of a rigid plate connected by elastic hinges to one side of a substrate.
In contrast, in the binary states, the pattern of motion differs: domain IV behaves as a rigid body and only one hinge region is apparent.
The end of the shell which protrudes through the baffle, is either clamped or hinged to a rigid disk; initially this disk is aligned flush with a baffle.
A ball-disc traction test rig is improved through the development of a lubricant traction measurement system, consisting of a resonance force sensitive quartz sensor, a circuit of the sensor and a rigid bracket jointed by a frictionless hinge.
Traditionally, the TEA designs have been divided into 3 categories: fully constrained rigid-hinge design, semi-constrained hinge design, and unconstrained unlinked design.
The subunits are tilted as a rigid body, but the C-terminal HTH domains hinging around residues 765 766, move with the opposite subunit, maintaining their role in stabilizing MutS dimers (Biswas et al., 2001).
The hinge-binding interaction was used as a rigid anchor and maintained in all compound-induced protein conformations.
