OBJECTIVE Prehospital emergency amputation is a rare procedure, which may be necessary to free a time-critical patient from entrapment. This study aimed to evaluate four techniques of cadaveric lower limb prehospital emergency amputation. METHOD A guillotine amputation of the distal femur was undertaken in fresh frozen self-donated cadavers. A prehospital doctor conducted a surgical amputatio...

OBJECTIVE This trial aimed to compare the guillotine technique of tonsillectomy with 'cold steel' dissection, the current 'gold standard'. DESIGN A single centre, randomised, controlled trial. METHODS One hundred children aged 3 to 11 years who were listed for bilateral tonsillectomy were recruited. Patients had one tonsil removed by each technique, and were blinded to the side. The operati...

The demonstration deals with medium access schemes that can be used to realize hard real-time constrained transmissions over wireless links. We show that properly choosing a medium access scheme allows for fulfilling tight deadlines. The real-time constraint is represented by means of a guillotine that has to be stopped.

This study presents the latest technology to produce axial induction motors for application in electric vehicles. A review of current state-of-the-art is performed on solutions with soft magnetic powder core or machined parts that are not appropriate mass production. Therefore, new proposed, based analyzed production technologies specifics. It involves use a standard metal strips make both stat...

The problem addressed in this paper is the decision problem of determining if a set of multi-dimensional rectangular boxes can be orthogonally packed into a rectangular bin while satisfying the requirement that the packing should be guillotine cuttable. That is, there should exist a series of face parallel straight cuts that can recursively cut the bin into pieces so that each piece contains a ...

for throat affections prevailing there, 1 do not consider that the number of cases operated on by ine mostly in Bangalore with a population of two lakhs or so compares unfavourably. The operation hitherto practised in Europe, so far as I am aware of, was the removal of enlarged tonsils by the guillotine. The cases suitable for the guillotine are large tonsils causing difficulty in swallowing an...

This paper addresses the two-dimensional bin packing problem with guillotine constraints. The requires a set of rectangular items to be cut from larger rectangles, known as bins, while only making use edge-to-edge (guillotine) cuts. goal is minimize total area needed all required items. also variants which permit 90∘ rotation and/or heterogeneous bins. A novel heuristic introduced based on ruin...

Electrical discharge machining process is one of the most Applicable methods in Non-traditional machining for Machining chip in Conduct electricity Piece that reaching to the Pieces that have good quality and high rate of machining chip is very important. Due to the rapid and widespread use of alloy DIN1.2080 in different industry such as Molding, lathe tools, reamer, broaching, cutting guillot...
