Basic Functions and Operational Units

Basic invasive mechanical ventilation.

Invasive mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving intervention for patients with respiratory failure. The most commonly used modes of mechanical ventilation are assist-control, synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, and pressure support ventilation. When employed as a diagnostic tool, the ventilator provides data on the static compliance of the respiratory system and airway resistance. ...

Mechanical drawing of gas sensors on paper.

This communication describes a simple solvent-free method for fabricating chemoresistive gas sensors on the surface of paper. The method involves mechanical abrasion of compressed powders of sensing materials on the fibers of cellulose. We illustrate this approach by depositing conductive layers of several forms of carbon (e.g., single-walled carbon nanotubes [SWCNTs], multi-walled carbon nanot...

An Educational Tool for Basic Techniques in Beginner's Pencil Drawing

A picture is one of important research subjects in order to make our life spiritually rich. Most studies on pictures, however, only propose some substitute functions of actual drawing or painting materials. There is no system that evaluates pictures drawn by users and gives advice about them. We propose a learning support system for basic techniques in beginner’s pencil drawing. The proposed sy...

Modular Multilevel Current Source Inverter Using Two-Switch Basic Units

This article is an introduction of a new topology of current source inverter (CSI) which can be alternatively implemented in low/medium power applications. This configuration is organized from series connected sub-multilevel inverters blocks. The basis of the recommended multilevel topology is the connections of many cell units in a decent scheme with the help of H-bridge inverter. The suggeste...
