  2. Motor unit recruitment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_unit_recruitment

    The rate at which the nerve impulses arrive is known as the motor unit firing rate and may vary from frequencies low enough to produce a series of single twitch contractions to frequencies high enough to produce a fused tetanic contraction. Generally, this allows a 2 to 4-fold change in force.

  3. Motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_control

    Activity in the motor neuron causes contraction in all of the innervated muscle fibers so that they function as a unit. Increasing action potential frequency (spike rate) in the motor neuron increases the muscle fiber contraction force, up to the maximal force. [6] [7] The maximal force depends on the contractile properties of the muscle fibers.

  4. Frequency modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_modulation

    A wideband FM signal can also be used to carry a stereo signal; this is done with multiplexing and demultiplexing before and after the FM process. The FM modulation and demodulation process is identical in stereo and monaural processes. FM is commonly used at VHF radio frequencies for high-fidelity broadcasts of music and speech. In broadcast ...

  5. Robot kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_kinematics

    The reverse process that computes the joint parameters that achieve a specified position of the end-effector is known as inverse kinematics. The dimensions of the robot and its kinematics equations define the volume of space reachable by the robot, known as its workspace.

  6. Internal model (motor control) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_model_(motor_control)

    [3] [4] The internal model theory of motor control argues that the motor system is controlled by the constant interactions of the “plant” and the “controller.” The plant is the body part being controlled, while the internal model itself is considered part of the controller.

    The motor size constant ) and motor velocity ... /V, that is, the linear actuator generates one volt of back-EMF when moved (or driven) at a rate of 2 m/s.

  8. Modified frequency modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_frequency_modulation

    In FM encoding, the number of 0-bits that may appear between consecutive 1-bits is either 0 or 1. In MFM encoding there is a minimum of 1 zero bit between adjacent ones (there are never two adjacent one bits), and the maximum number of zeros in a row is 3. [citation needed] Thus, FM is a (0,1) RLL code, while MFM is a (1,3) code.

  9. Switched reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_reluctance_motor

    The switched reluctance motor (SRM) is a type of reluctance motor. Unlike brushed DC motors , power is delivered to windings in the stator (case) rather than the rotor . This simplifies mechanical design because power does not have to be delivered to the moving rotor, which eliminates the need for a commutator .
