A pressure sensitive palatography: application of new pressure sensitive sheet for measuring tongue-palatal contact pressure

This paper describes a new method for measuring the tonguepalatal contact pressure using a thin pressure sensor and its application for speech research. The new pressure sensor is composed of thin pressure sensitive ink whose electrical resistance is proportional to the physical forces applied to the sensor. Several sensors were arranged on the surface of the palatal plate. This setup was used ...

White Paper on Pressure Management

Introduction Unrelieved pressure upon weight-bearing tissues can produce lesions, identified by their etiology as pressure ulcers (AHCPR, 1992). The prevalence of pressure ulcers for elderly nursing home residents has been estimated between 2.3% and 28%. (AHCPR, 1992; Brandeis, Ooi, Hossain, Morris, & Lipsitz, 1994; Smith, 1995; Young & Burns, 1981). The prevalence rate among other populations ...

Beyond Copying

Smart copying

Can imitation be considered one of the most successful strategies in business? My answer is " yes ". It appears that this topic is getting more and more attention nowadays. It is well known that Apple's success can be attributed to taking existing ideas and repackaging them with excellent design. However, no one can readily blame Steven Jobs for lacking originality. Even if the ideas for his co...

Register Pressure Sensitive Redundancy Elimination

Redundancy elimination optimizations avoid repeated computation of the same value by computing the value once, saving it in a temporary, and reusing the value from the temporary when it is needed again. Examples of redundancy elimination optimizations include common subexpression elimination, loop invariant code motion and partial redundancy elimination. We demonstrate that the introduction of ...
