This is a review of multibody dynamics research reported in the technical literature since 1990. It is an update of an earlier review appearing in 1991. In the five to six years since the writing of that first review, it is found that the literature has greatly expanded, attesting to a major increase in research efforts, with the greatest increase occurring in flexible and constrained multibody dynamics. In this review, the state-of-the-art of the research is briefly outlined and a discussion about unresolved issues and research opportunities is presented.

When Patents Are Challenged In Court, Technical Experts Are Called Upon For Several Reasons. Patent Attorneys Are Engineers, But Depend On Experts To Help Them Understand The Patents In Suit And The State Of The Art At The Time The Invention Was Made. The Ideal Expert For A Particular Case Will Have Worked In The Same Field And Be Familiar With The Technical Literature, Products And Technologies Pre-Dating The Nvention. If A Product Is Accused Of Infringing One Or More Patents, The Engineer Must Be Able To Evaluate The Accused Product With Respect To The Asserted Patent Claims. The Engineer May Review The Patent Application And Prosecution History, Perform Tests, Research Prior Art Patents, Literature, And Products, And Interpret The Language Used In The Patents. Like Other Types Of Forensic Engineering Assignments, Written Reports And Court Testimony Are Often Required. However, Patent Cases Involve Some Unique Terminology And Legal Concepts, Which Will Be Outlined In This Paper.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant global social and economic disruption. The highly transmissive nature of the disease makes rapid and reliable detection critically important. Point-of-care (POC) tests involve performing diagnostic tests outside of a laboratory that produce a rapid and reliable result. It therefore allows the diagnostics of diseases at or near the patient site. Paper-based POC tests have been gaining interest in recent years as they allow rapid, low-cost detection without the need for external instruments. In this review, we focus on the development of paper-based POC devices for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. The review first introduces the principles of detection methods that are available to paper-based devices. It then summarizes the state-of-the-art paper devices and their analytical performances. The advantages and drawbacks among methods are also discussed. Finally, limitations of the existing devices are discussed, and prospects are given with the hope to identify research opportunities and directions in the field. We hope this review will be helpful for researchers to develop a clinically useful and economically efficient paper-based platform that can be used for rapid, accurate on-site diagnosis to aid in identifying acute infections and eventually contain the COVID-19 pandemic.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
