On the other hand, if the thickness of the toroid is negated (r = 0), the toroidal solenoid is reduced to a ring, and the helical solenoid is reduced to a helix.
(2) Simultaneously with the angular motion sensor, a gravity-sensitive sensor (sensitive to the inclination angle), for example, an accelerometer, is placed on the platform: let, for simplicity, the accelerometer sensitivity axis is directed along the OY axis, that is, it lies in the toroid plane.
proposed the conceptual truss design MSRR-ORTHOBOT [87] with telescopic links having split toroids at two ends and with one toroid connected to link via revolute joint.
In three dimensions, this region corresponds to a toroid, or spherical ring, with cross-sectional radius [r.sub.2] and external radius [approximately equal to] a.
DNA fragmentation was found to discrete into smaller fragments in the 20-25 kb range rather than much larger 50-kb toroid fragments detected by other studies [3,34].
