EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF AUTOMATIC BRAKING PROPERTIES USING AN ULTRASONIC SENSOR FOR INVERTED PENDULUM VEHICLES (PROPOSAL OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM BY USING THE TTC AS THE INDICATOR)

Experimental study of automatic braking properties using an ultrasonic sensor for inverted pendulum vehicles (Proposal of the safety system by using the TTC as the indicator)

Inverted pendulum vehicles controlled by movement of driver's center of gravity (COG), such as Winglet or Segway are Sauce the examples of Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMV).PMV is sometimes expected to be used in pedestrian spaces.When a driver brakes an inverted pendulum vehicle suddenly, the driver has to move his/her COG backward largely and

Interactions Between Thiamethoxam and Deformed Wing Virus Can Drastically Impair Flight Behavior of Honey Bees

Exposure to multiple stress factors is believed to contribute to honey bee colony decline.However, little is known about how co-exposure to stress factors can alter the survival and behavior of free-living honey bees in 1036 colony conditions.We therefore studied the potential interaction between a neonicotinoid pesticide, thiamethoxam, and a highl
