usually a place to attach a gripper: a tool plate. The common link configurations are shown below. Between the axes of the joints at the ends of any link there can be two degrees of translation and two degrees of rotation. These degrees of freedom are called the link parameters. Type 1 link The simplest link has two parallel revolute joints with no twist between the axes; the axes of the joints are parallel. Type 2 link If one of the joints in a type 1 link is twisted about the centre

Also‚ there are 3 C2 axes perpendicular to the C3 axis‚ 3 σv planes‚ and one σh plane. All these symmetry elements can combine. Take NH3. It also has C3 axis as principal axis. There are 3 σv planes‚ but no C2 perpendicular to C3 or a σh plane. For the N2F2 molecule there exist one C2 axis and a σh plane but

Roughly 5‚000 years ago‚ Ötzi‚ the Iceman‚ was murdered on the Ötztal Alps due to stealing a copper axe from another civilization close to his. Recently‚ scientists have found key evidence inside and outside Ötzi’s body supporting this claim. Initially scientists thought he had frozen to death in the harsh weather; however‚ in 2001 an X-ray examination revealed an arrowhead was lodged in Ötzi’s left shoulder‚ that eventually lead to his demise. One of the four individuals who fought Ötzi pulled
