Countering submerged targets using bistatic and multistatic sonobuoy systems is a fundamental problem in Anti-Submarine Warfare. A key question is: what is the best deployment geometry of sensors to successfully detect a submarine threat in a field of interest? The unique properties of these systems distinguish this problem from the conventional ones. This paper examines the optimum deployment strategies of bistatic sonobuoys against stationary or low speed targets.

This study deals with one of the applications of parallel manipulator as a rehabilitation robot. This device is an over –constrained parallel manipulator 5 degree of freedom with 3 legs. This manipulator consists of a moving platform which is connected to a fixed base via three legs. Each leg is made of RRR(RR) (revolute) joints where the first three joint in all legs are parallel and the recent two joint are intersecting .Inverse kinematics of this device is solved by dividing manipulator into two sub-manipulators with the help of three imaginary joints placed at the intersection of platform joints with a direction parallel to base joints.

A thermodynamic model has been developed and applied to predict the emission levels and performance of a spark ignition engine with using Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) gas. The model simulates the full thermodynamic cycle of the engine and includes heat transfer, combustion, gas exchange process, thermal dissociation of water and carbon dioxide, and chemical equilibrium.
