Wednesday, November 8, 2006, 2:00PM room 250, Light Engineering
Seminar Coordinator: Dr. Jeffrey Ge 631-632-8305
Abstract: Kinematic Synthesis of Constrained Robotic Systems This presentation describes the mathematical theory of linkage synthesis based on the solution of generalized inverse kinematics equations for planar and spatial serial chains. The algebraic solution of these synthesis equations is shown to pose severe computational demands. Recent results show that a sequential solution strategy provides a design capability for new six and eight-bar planar chains, even 10-bar and 12-bar chains that provide new design opportunities.

8. Waiting 'Til the Midnight Hour: A Narrative History of Black Power in America. Program featuring faculty author Peniel Joseph.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7 at 4 p.m. - Javits Room, Melville Library
With the rallying cry of Black Power in 1966, a group of black activists, including Stokely Carmichael and Huey P. Newton, turned their backs on Martin Luther Kings pacifism and, building on Malcolm X's legacy, pioneered a radical new approach to the fight for equality. Peniel Joseph's book Waiting 'Til the Midnight Hour is a history of the Black Power movement and traces the history of the men and women of the movementmany of them famous or infamous, others forgotten. Drawing on original archival research and more than sixty original oral histories, this narrative history vividly invokes the way in which Black Power redefined black identity and culture and in the process redrew the landscape of American race relations.

A Cambridge University graduate, Wesley Stace took his stage name from Dylan's classic 1968 album. His US debut album features Elvis Costello's The Attractions. He has recorded and toured with Bruce Springsteen, has recorded an entire CD of the songs of traditional English folk artist Nic Jones while with an electric group, he has pioneered a genre he calls "gangsta folk" and with a quartet, The Love Hall Tryst, has delved into a cappella harmonies. His debut novel, Misfortune, recently received critical acclaim.
This self-proclaimed "bastard son of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez" can point to over ten albums in an impressive sixteen year career. A songwriter of insight, brashness and wit, his University Cafe show will explore the many aspects of John Wesley Harding in an intriguing afternoon.

3. Osteoporosis Prevention and Management
The Division of Wellness and Chronic Illness in the Department of Family Medicine is conducting a series of four group visits focusing on the prevention and management of osteoporosis.
Participants are examined and evaluated individually to assess their risk of fracture and to determine if the bone loss management is optimal. The group visits review osteoporosis in an integrative, holistic fashion with focus on measures that may be added to conventional treatment such as nutrition with whole foods, supplements, yoga and exercise to improve hip and spine bone density. Conventional monitoring techniques and medical interventions with hormone replacement therapy and drugs are thoroughly reviewed and discussed
The four-part series will be held at 33 Research Way in Stony Brook Technology Park on November 15, 29, December 6, 13, 2006 from 4:30 6:30 p.m.
