Different values of tension forces in the load-bearing ropes elevators, which push rope into grooves traction discs with different pressure, are cause uneven wear under operating conditions. Current technical standards EU stipulate that load suspended on be evenly distributed to all used, using one many construction designs for force equalizers system. The main subject and primary objective thi...

BACKGROUND In most of the world, diagnostic surgery remains the most frequent approach for indeterminate thyroid cytology. Although several molecular tests are available for testing in centralized commercial laboratories in the United States, there are no available kits for local laboratory testing. The aim of this study was to develop a prototype in vitro diagnostic (IVD) gene classifier for t...

This letter presents the design, development, and experimental assessment of a soft fluidic actuator that can enable locomotion in variety aquatic terrestrial environments. Most actuation strategies for amphibious rely on rigid, fast moving components to generate thrust tractive forces. Our prototype, comprising materials, relying simple motion planning control strategies, demonstrates two gait...

The current computing and communication services provide convenience and functionality. The creation of these services is however not an easy task. Service development is still mainly technical oriented, where service creation tools are meant for serving and assisting the professional developers. In other words, service creation is not seen as a task for end-users. In our research, we wish to e...

Interoperability of medical devices, and their interface to clinicians and patients, are critical issues for the safety and effectiveness of patient care. Ongoing efforts strive at establishing standards for integrated clinical environments, which may connect and co-ordinate several medical devices and interface them to patients, clinicians, and hospital information systems. In this paper, an a...

In air traffic management, a pairwise conflict is a predicted loss of separation between two aircraft, referred to as the ownship and the intruder. A conflict prevention bands system displays ranges of maneuvers for the ownship that characterize regions in the airspace that are either conflict-free or “don’t go” zones that the ownship has to avoid. Errors in the calculation of prevention bands ...
