2. What is the actuating mode of the first limb?
the eighth actuating mode corresponds to the 3-RPR PPM, also called RPR1-RPR2-RPR3 PPM, as the prismatic joints of its limbs are actuated.

3. What is the transmission angle of a 3-DOF PPM?
In the scope of this study, the RDW of the PPM is supposed to be a cylinder of φ-axis with good kinetostatic performance, i.e., the transmission angle ψ is smaller than 75◦ throughout the cylinder.

4. What is the first actuating mode of the RPR1-RPR2 PPM?
For instance, the first actuating mode corresponds to the 3- RPR PPM, also called RPR1-RPR2-RPR3 PPM in the scope of this paper, as the first revolute joints (located at points Ai) of its limbs are actuated.
