چکیده
In the course of a study of biomechanical aspects of carpal tunnel syndrome, a threedimensional point encoder was built to record surface geometries of hand-wrist structures. The point encoder shown in Fig. 1 consists of a pointer that slides axially and rotates in perpendicular planes. The encoder is instrumented with a LVDT (linear voltage differential transformer) and with two potentiometers such that voltages proportional to the axial and two angular positions of the pointer are produced. These voltages of course correspond to the spherical coordinates of the pointer. The encoder voltages were measured via an A-D (Analogue-Digital) Converter and an HP 2100 computer. Each dimension of the system was calibrated by measuring the voltage differences between known positions of the pointer. Scale factors for each channel were expressed as:

Use of Zernike Polynomials and SPGD Algorithm for Measuring the Reflected Wavefronts from the Lens Surfaces
Recently, we have demonstrated a new and efficient method to simultaneously reconstruct two unknown interfering wavefronts. A three-dimensional interference pattern was analyzed and then Zernike polynomials and the stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm were used to expand and calculate wavefronts. In this paper, as one of the applications of this method, the reflected wavefronts from t...
متن کاملA novel method for laser forming of two-step bending of a dome shaped part
In recent decades, one of the challenges in sheet metal forming was production of two-step bending surfaces without mechanical tools and external force or by a combination of heat source and mechanical tools. Forming with a heat source such as laser beam has the potential for forming arbitrary 3D shapes such as two-step bending surfaces. In this paper a novel method for laser forming of complic...

متن کاملNumerical simulation of Laminar Free Convection Heat Transfer around Isothermal Concave and Convex Body Shapes
In the present research, free convection heat transfer from isothermal concave and convex body shapes is studied numerically. The body shapes investigated here, are bi-sphere, cylinder, prolate and cylinder with hemispherical ends; besides, they have the same height over width (H/D = 2). A Numerical simulation is implemented to obtain heat transfer and fluid flow from all of the geometries in a...
