Hi,
For sander, see the description on page 9 of the Amber 9 manual.
See also the top of page 102.
I recall that references 19 and 75 cover the Amber specific literature.
In general, a lot has been published; much of it is from allied
scientific fields. Here are some references that I happen to have
recorded, but there are many good ones I didnt:
