Objective: In spinal cord stimulation, neurosurgeons increasingly tend to implant dual leads. Dual leads (longitudinal bipole/tripole) provide medio-lateral control over the recruited dorsal column (DC) area by steering the injected cathodal currents. However the DC recruited area is suboptimal when dual aligned leads straddling the midline programmed as longitudinal guarded cathodes (+-+) are ...

This paper presents an active steering system designed to ensure both the curving performance and running stability of a vehicle. Electro-hydraulic actuators installed in place anti-yaw dampers generate yaw moment between carbody bogie. The detects curves with gyroscopes mounted on configuration enables reduction wheel/rail lateral force without requiring complicated mechanical links bogies. al...

Anterior to posterior (AP) pinning is the recommended sagittal pin configuration in divergent lateral entry coronal of pediatrics supracondylar fractures. However, there was still a lack evidence regarding alternative pins configurations. We aimed compare construct stiffness configurations by using synthetic bone models. Sixty pediatric humeri were osteotomized create fracture. After fracture r...

Alloy segregation is believed to be an important factor in the growth of the wetting layer and subsequent formation of islands during heteroepitaxy. We report simulated annealing results that determine the lowestenergy configuration of a strained system. Our results indicate that in addition to vertical segregation, there is also an energetic driving force for lateral segregation and formation ...

New lateral metal-contact micromachined switch using high aspect ratio cantilever beam with quasi-finite ground coplanar waveguide (FGCPW) configuration is proposed. It is fabricated by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) process of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer and shadow mask technology. It has demonstrated the switch operation up to 25 GHz. The insertion loss is less than 0.2 dB and isolatio...

The lateral and longitudinal profiles of the hadronic showers detected by iron-scintillator tile hadron calorimeter with longitudinal tile configuration have been investigated. The results are based on 100 GeV pion beam data. Due to the beam scan provided many different beam impact locations with cells it is succeeded to obtain detailed picture of transverse shower behavior. The underlying radi...

In this paper, the lateral limiting pressure offered by deep ‘flow-around’ soil failure mechanism for perimeter (ring) pile groups in undrained is explored using two-dimensional finite-element (FE) modelling. A parametric study investigates role of group configuration, pile–soil adhesion, size, spacing and load direction on capacity corresponding mechanisms. The FE output shows that plan config...

PURPOSE To evaluate the configuration of extraocular muscle and tendon enlargement in patients with thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO). DESIGN Retrospective, noncomparative case series. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the preoperative computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, or both, of 125 consecutive patients with previously diagnosed TAO. Axial CT (n = 8...

A novel configuration of dielectric multilayer wavelength filters for enabling sharp cut-off characteristics is proposed. By applying perturbations to the multilayer structures such as corrugation or lateral film isolation, deep optical stopbands can be created as a result of the coupling between the obliquely and horizontally propagating light waves. Numerical simulation by FDTD revealed that ...

An accurate understanding of the morphology of the root canal system is a prerequisite for successful root canal treatment. Invaginated teeth have a complex root canal configuration that cannot be instrumented effectively and should be treated by both endodontic therapy and surgery. A case of dens invaginatus Type 3 in a maxillary lateral incisor with a periapical lesion and its successful trea...
