A proper curve representation is required and a very convenient solution is provided by the concept of a principal curve, introduced by Hastie and Stuetzle (1989) as a flexible form of principal component analysis which generalises the usual linear approach.
As a flexible leader, Petraeus could also lead from behind. .
To overcome this irony, technology providers need to move beyond the goal of representing technology users informationally (e.g. as biometric data) to providing flexible components from which individuals and their carers can 'think with things' to improve the situated, lived experience of multi-morbidity.
While the team's research simplifies the manufacturing and lowers the cost of wearable electronics, the design is bulkier and less durable than those that use entirely flexible components such as Kim's Parkinson's patch.
Lanthanide coordination polymers (LCPs) have recently emerged as attractive biosensor materials due to their flexible components, high tailorable properties and unique luminescence features.
The stiff system components are modeled deterministically, e.g., using the finite element method, while the wave fields in the flexible components are modeled as diffuse.
Probo's soft touch is introduced, on the one side by use of novel passive compliant actuators, Compliant Bowden Cable Driven Actuators (CBCDAs), and on the other side by combining custom made servo motors, Non Back Drivable Servos (NBDSs), with flexible components and materials such as springs, silicon and foam.
Though some flexible components exist, creating flexible memory has been a technical barrier, according to NIST researchers.
The relationship between these fixed and flexible components of the intervention, the external context, which can modify their effects and the anticipated health outcomes is depicted as an a priori theoretical model in Figure 1.
