Design, Evaluation and Prototyping of a New Robotic Mechanism for Ultrasound Imaging

This paper presents a new robotic mechanism for ultrasound imaging. The device is placed on a patient's body by an operator, and an ultrasound expert controls the motions of the device to obtain ultrasound images. The paper focuses on the robotic mechanism that performs ultrasound imaging. The design of the mechanism is based on two approaches to produce center of motion for an ultrasound probe...

Finite Element Method Simulation and Rapid Prototyping

Rapid Prototyping is part of a modern technologies group whose target is to reduce the designing and manufacturing cycle of a product. One efficient rapid prototyping technique is that of 3D printing and, its benefits in designing and manufacturing elements of a laser medical device are presented by this paper. More, a simulation involving computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer ph...

Softlab: A Virtual Laboratory Framework for Computational Science

The process of prototyping is part of every scientific inquiry, product deslgn,and learning activity. The new economic realities require the rapid prototyping of manufactured artifacts and rapid solutions to problems wilh numerous Interrelated elements. As part of the Softlab project, we are investigatrng the Issues Involved In the design and implementation of a virtual laboratory that simulate...
