In this research, different alcohols and phenols are subjected to the reaction with HMDS in the presence of ionic liquid and silica-supported catalysts. Silylation was accomplished under mild reaction conditions at room temperature in short reaction times and good to excellent yields.

Eye-gaze-controlled interfaces allow the direct manipulation of a graphical user interface by looking at it. This technology has great potential in military aviation, particular, operating different displays situations where pilots’ hands are occupied with flying aircraft. paper reports studies on analyzing accuracy eye-gaze-controlled inside aircraft undertaking representative missions. We rep...

The safety and efficacy of minimally invasive surgery relies on visual information. We aimed to develop an integrated image navigation system (RoboSurgeon System) that combines head-mounted displays (HMDs) with multiple image modalities, and assessed its feasibility in 5 prostate cancer patients who underwent gasless single-port endoscopic radical prostatectomy. A robotically manipulated transr...

To maximize user experience in VR environments, optimizing the comfortability of head-mounted displays (HMDs) is essential. date, few studies have investigated fatigue induced by wearing commercially available HMDs. Here, we focus on effects HMD weight and balance physical load experienced user. We conducted an experiment which participants completed a shooting game while differently weighted b...

The presented study compares the structure of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDSN) plasma polymer thin films with a thickness about 30 nm before after oxidation process, focusing on analysis porosity correlated electrolyte up-take in formed films. results illustrate that treatment converts HMDSO HMDSN progressively into SiOx-like However, underlying mechanism etching Cx...

We proposed and demonstrated a “refreshable microfluidic channel.” This channel was constructed between two stacked glass slides with a 100 m thick spacer. Each surface of the slides was frosted by being ground with an abrasive and made hydrophobic due to the treatment with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane. A line was drawn on the surface using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as the ink. Because this...
