FIRST TRANSPARENCY • SHANNON'S UFTOJ MODEL

ACTION JUGGLE THREE CLUBS 1 red and 2 white one hand black the other white gloved.

SHANNON'S UFTOJ MODEL interrelated

the following components:

D is the dwell time,

the time a hand spends holding an object.

V is the vacant or empty hand time.

F is the object's flight time.

B stands for the number of objects tossed and

H for the number of hands doing the tossing.

ACTION Juggle 3 clubs: red one and 2 white to emphasize the PATTERNS.

Notice two different cycles occurring as I

juggle these clubs a little higher:

A CLUB CYCLE, (pause then say flight - dwell pause)

where F + D is the time in seconds for a club cycle.

AND

A HAND CYCLE, (pause then say vacant - dwell pause)

where V + D is the time in seconds for a hand cycle.

ACTION read as "the sum of (F+D) divided by the sum of (V+D)"

SECOND TRANSPARENCY • Special case for Shannon's Proportion

The number of clubs divided by the number

of hands must equal the club cycle time

divided by the hand cycle time.

So we get: B/H = (F + D)/(V + D)

Let's look at a special case for three

balls and two hands doing the unit juggle.

For B = 3, H = 2 and F = .576 sec,

Shannon's proportion simplifies to:

3V + D = 1.152 sec.

A linear graph shows the juggler's variations

for the special case 16" high unit juggle.

THIRD TRANSPARENCY • Hot Potatoes vrs. Delayed Juggling Character.

ACTION Juggle the three picture pins - Galileo - Shannon - and Beek two turns low and high could demo Hot po and Delayed JC.

As you can see, long dwell time delays

the toss to the last moment while short

dwell time is "hot potatoes" juggling.

We are close to the story about current research now!
