Emergency Shutdown Valve with Bypass Features [ID 12017]

OverviewA common and major problem associated with the testing of emergency shutdown valves is the very stoppage of flow that the valves are designed to produce. While it is obviously required that an emergency shutdown valve stop a flow of material in a true emergency shutdown situation, testing often occurs when a facility would be otherwise operating...

Elastic Cable Driven Robotic Joint [ID 11027]

OverviewMost legged robots employ joint-mount motors, which simplifies the analysis and design, but result in legs that are heavy and bulky. Cable-driven robots overcome this shortcoming by allowing the motors to be mounted on or near the torso, thereby reducing the weight and inertia of the legs, resulting in lower overall weight and power-consumption....
