Microsurgical i-Trainer: a low cost method to replicate a microscope

Microsurgical training is fundamental to training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Innovative methods are required that are simple, accessible and cheap to replicate intraoperative experience as well as enable practice in this technically demanding activity. Prior to embarking on loupes-only microsurgery, it has been suggested that intensive training under the microscope is essential.1 Th...

The Fluency Pronunciation Trainer

In this article we describe the basis of the Fluency project for foreign language pronunciation training using automatic speech recognition. We describe the theoretical base, the interactive duration correction module, and our work toward adaptation to the way in which the user learns best. We show results in preliminary tests of the latter, and discuss future directions of the project.

Vasovasostomy performed to regain fertility is a technique that has undergone numerous advances during the last century, including the use of microsurgical equipment and principles to construct a meticulous anastomosis. It is important during va...

A Microprocessor Trainer Simulator

Historically, a two semester sequence of courses in microprocessor software and interfacing was taught using a processor such as the Motorola 6800. However, advances in the field have necessitated teaching more advanced microprocessors (such as the Intel 80x86 family) in the
