A PYLON, OR TEMPORARY ARTIFICIAL LEG

Evaluating the temporary pylon and permanent prosthesis in a rehabilitation amputee clinic.

1 Area Supervisor, South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department, Greenville, S. C. 29601. We in vocational rehabilitation need to stop occasionally and examine our procedures with a critical eye. We get engrossed in the job at hand, and find it amazingly easy to neglect determining whether there might be a better way to accomplish a task, thereby improving our services to handicapped peo...

Henna Tattoo: Temporary or Permanent?

A Pylon Model for Semantic Segmentation

Graph cut optimization is one of the standard workhorses of image segmentation since for binary random field representations of the image, it gives globally optimal results and there are efficient polynomial time implementations. Often, the random field is applied over a flat partitioning of the image into non-intersecting elements, such as pixels or super-pixels. In the paper we show that if, ...

Pylon-Based Jet Noise Suppressors

This experimental investigation examined the potential of pylon-based deployable flaps to reduce jet noise of separate-flow turbofan engines with a bypass ratio of eight. The main function of the flap deflectors is to thicken the low-speed region surrounding the core jet in the downward and sideline directions. The study encompassed acoustic measurements, noise-source imaging, mean-velocity sur...

Perpendicular Recording: A Future Technology or a Temporary Solution

During the vitally critical times to the future advances in data storage technologies, perpendicular magnetic recording [1,2,3] has attracted a substantial amount of attention as a prime alternative to the technologies in place today [4,5]. As envisioned by the industry and academia leaders, perpendicular recording is the most likely candidate for the technology implemented in the next generati...
