The document describes how to calculate the reduction ratio of a strain wave gearing mechanism. It provides an example where a flex spline with 200 teeth and a circular spline with 202 teeth would result in a reduction ratio of -0.01. This means the flex spline would spin at 1/100th the speed of the wave generator plug, but in the opposite direction. It also contains an unrelated section about actuators and motors used in a robotic arm.
