  2. Vertical dyad linkage theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_Dyad_Linkage_Theory

    The Vertical Dyad Linkage Theory is a theory that deals with the individual dyadic relationships formed between leaders and their subordinates. [1] It is also widely known as The Leadership-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory . [ 2 ]

  3. Patient participation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_participation

    A medical doctor explaining an X-ray to a patient. Several factors help increase patient participation, including understandable and individual adapted information, education for the patient and healthcare provider, sufficient time for the interaction, processes that provide the opportunity for the patient to be involved in decision-making, a positive attitude from the healthcare provider ...

  4. Straight-line mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-line_mechanism

    The Scott Russell linkage (1803) translates linear motion through a right angle, but is not a straight line mechanism in itself. The Grasshopper beam/Evans linkage, an approximate straight line linkage, and the Bricard linkage, an exact straight line linkage, share similarities with the Scott Russell linkage and the Trammel of Archimedes.

  5. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

    Linkage mobility Locking pliers exemplify a four-bar, one degree of freedom mechanical linkage. The adjustable base pivot makes this a two degree-of-freedom five-bar linkage. It is common practice to design the linkage system so that the movement of all of the bodies are constrained to lie on parallel planes, to form what is known as a planar ...

  6. Dwell mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwell_mechanism

    An arc-based single dwell linkage uses the approximation of a circular arc. The concept for linkage dwell mechanisms is that a node located at the center of the circular arc segment of a coupler curve will remain relatively stationary. This is achieved first by choosing a desired coupler curve created by a four-bar linkage. Once a coupler curve ...

  7. Forward compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_compatibility

    Forward compatibility or upward compatibility is a design characteristic that allows a system to accept input intended for a later version of itself. The concept can be applied to entire systems, electrical interfaces , telecommunication signals , data communication protocols , file formats , and programming languages .

  8. Overconstrained mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overconstrained_mechanism

    A Bennett's linkage. Another example of an overconstrained mechanism is Bennett's linkage, invented by Geoffrey Thomas Bennett in 1903, which consists of four links connected by four revolute joints. [2] A general spatial linkage formed from four links and four hinged joints has mobility

  9. Five-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-bar_linkage

    In kinematics, a five-bar linkage is a mechanism with two degrees of freedom that is constructed from five links that are connected together in a closed chain. All links are connected to each other by five joints in series forming a loop. One of the links is the ground or base. [1]
