This article presents the development of an inclinometer device based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer considering effects caused by temperature variations. It was demonstrated operation LPG-taper system for angle measurements. The practical results satisfactorily show reliable inclination measures, even with cross sensibility effect variable temperature.

With dual-radiopharmaceutical (DR) parathyroid scintigraphy, imaging with 99mTcO4-or 123I-NaI is combined with 99mTc-sestamibi scintigraphy for localization of parathyroid adenomas. The set images are then either visually compared or digitally subtracted to aid in interpretation. While both EANM and SNMMI guidelines recommend use of digital subtraction over visual interpretation alone, to date,...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Physical therapists routinely assess spinal active range of motion (AROM) in patients with low back pain (LBP). The purpose of this study was to use 2 approaches to examine the relationship between impairment of lumbar spine flexion AROM and disability. One approach relied on the use of normative data to determine when an impairment in flexion AROM was present. The other ...

2 A Prototype of An Inertial System In mobile systems the position and attitude of active vision system's cameras can be hard t o determine. Inertial sensors coupled t o the active viston sys tem can provide valuable information, as happens with the An inertial system prototype was built using lowcost inertial sensors. These include a three-axial accelerometer, three gyroscopes and a dual-axis ...
