	  * \brief This class encapsulates a simple joint, that is with one
	  * parameterized degree of freedom and with scalar dynamic properties.
     *
     * A simple joint is described by the following properties :
     *      - scale: ratio between motion input and motion output
     *      - offset: between the "physical" and the "logical" zero position.
     *      - type: revolute or translational, along one of the basic frame axes
	  *      - inertia, stiffness and damping: scalars representing the physical
	  *      effects along/about the joint axis only.
     *
