The CT Band, CT Band Biomechanics and CT Band Syndrome

CT Filter with In - Band Noise Reduction

In a direct-conversion wireless receiver the baseband filter should be able to handle large blockers, resulting in a very challenging spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) requirement. In particular, the noise added in-band trades off with the linearity required to handle close out-of-band interferers [1]. Since the integrated noise generally is proportional to kT/C, once the noise floor for the f...

Iliotibial Band Anatomy And Biomechanics, Implications For The Treatment Of Iliotibial Band Syndrome

METHODS: Gross anatomical studies of 20 embalmed cadavers that examined origins, insertions and significant attachments of the ITB were performed. The strain generated in the ITB by three typical stretching manoeuvres (Obers test: OBER, Hip flexion, adduction and external loading: HIP, Straight leg raise: SLR) was measured in 5 unembalmed cadavers using foil-type strain gauges. An ultrasound as...

Modified U-Slot Stacked Micro-Strip Patch Antenna for Ultra-Wideband Applications in S Band, C Band and X Band

The U-slot micro-strip patch antennas were originally developed for bandwidth broadening applications. This study presents a transmission line feed to modify the U-slot stacked rectangular micro-strip patch antenna for Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) communications. The modified antenna has a U-cut loaded with parallel slits and corner slots and is printed on a dielectric substrate of FR4 with relative p...

Posterior glottic stenosis with a calcified interarytenoid scar band: CT and laryngoscopic correlation.

A 52-year-old man with burn injuries and prolonged intubation developed PGS with hoarseness, dyspnea, and bilateral vocal cord immobility. On CT, a calcified interarytenoid scar band was identified, corresponding to an interarytenoid scar on laryngoscopy. Endoscopic laser lysis of the calcified scar band relieved the symptoms. We present laryngoscopic and CT findings of PGS with interarytenoid ...
