The instant centre of rotation, as found in all linkage systems, is also called virtual pivot point.

Inventors persisted with the early cumbersome mechanical linkage systems for a long time, although the valve system was considerably simpler.

The number of input parameters is called the mobility, or degree of freedom, of the linkage system.

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 linkage.

Coupled linkage systems are known, as well as five-, six-, and even seven-bar linkages.

These and other anatomical elements created a linkage system that let the fish open its jaw very rapidly, on the order of 20 milliseconds.

Early research in the institute led to a greater understanding of the linkage system, a set of principles detailing the interrelationship of organ systems and prescribing a multidisciplinary approach to clinical care.

I N his bid to improve cushioning in bike seat posts, Holman, who is 6 foot 4 inches, devised an unusual linkage system that shifts the rider's weight backward.

It is also possible to construct the linkage system so that all of the bodies move on concentric spheres, forming a spherical linkage.

The rod passes through a hole in the rear of the basin, then connects underneath with other parts of a linkage system, also shown.
