PURPOSE To report a case of extrusion of a new soft punctum plug with thermoexpansion property (Medennium SmartPLUG). METHODS A soft punctum plug was implanted in a 32-year-old woman with a severe dry eye syndrome in juvenile arthritis. RESULTS One week after implant the plug partially extruded outside the punctum. Despite this adverse event, all subjective dry eye symptoms improved. CONC...

This article presents a review of the fuse effect in polymer optical fibers (POFs) and its sensing applications. First, propagation mechanisms characteristics POF are discussed, showing that threshold power velocity much lower than those silica fiber fuse. In addition, it is shown main unique advantages capability transmitting signal as well electrical conductivity carbonized oscillatory path c...

As part of arc flash studies, survey pictures electrical installations need to be manually analyzed. A challenging task is identify fuse types, which can determined from physical characteristics such as shape, color and size. To automate this process using deep learning techniques, a new dataset past projects data the web was created. Multiple experiments were performed train final model, reach...

Software component architectures allow assembly of applications from individual software modules based on clearly defined programming interfaces, thus improving the reuse of existing solutions and simplifying application development. Furthermore, the plug-in programming paradigm additionally enables runtime reconfigurability, making it possible to adapt to changing application needs, such as di...
