This paper presents a novel concept of half wavelength doubleridged half height rectangular waveguide resonator. The basic design consists of a double-ridged rectangular waveguide placed between two rectangular waveguide WR2300. The resonance frequency, bandwidth, Q factor etc. can be controlled by varying the ridge parameters such as ridge length, width, height, ridge gap width, ridge gap heig...

A fingerprint recognizing system is built with two principal components: the fingerprint administrator and the fingerprint recognizer. Fingerprints are identified by their special features such as ridge endings, ridge bifurcation, short ridges, and ridge enclosures, which are collectively called the minutiae. The fingerprint administrator uses the method of gray scale ridge tracing backed up by...

The present paper reports on three patients who underwent localized alveolar ridge augmentation using block autografts harvested from the mandibular tori. Autogenous particulate bone graft was placed at the periphery of the block. Resorbable collagen membrane was placed above the graft material. Implant placement surgery followed at 6 to 16 months after bone grafting. During implant surgery, a ...

Proximal-distal outgrowth of the vertebrate limb bud is regulated by the apical ectodermal ridge (AER), which forms at an invariant position along the dorsal-ventral (D/V) axis of the embryo. We have studied the genetic and cellular events that regulate AER formation in the mouse. In contrast to implications from previous studies in chick, we identified two distinct lineage boundaries in mouse ...

Introduction: Ridges are the most common linear and tectonic surface features on Europa [1,2,3,4] and apparent lateral offsets are often observed along them [4,5]. Ridges have formed throughout Europa’s geologic history, creating identifiable crosscutting relationships [3,4]. These crosscutting relationships offer us an opportunity to determine the mechanisms responsible for ridge formation [6,...

The development and motion of fronts associated with lee-side troughs on large mountain barriers has been investigated. These fronts differ from ordinary cold fronts in their horizontal temperature field, which is characterized by a sinusoidal thermal ridge. The thermal ridge intensifies, while remaining stationary with respect to the mountains, and moves eastward upon the approach of a Pacific...

In the maxillary anterior region, reconstruction of the localized alveolar ridge defect is very important in enhancing the esthetics of fixed partial denture. A 40-year-old female patient presented with a chief complaint of the inconvenience and unesthetic problem of 3-unit maxillary anterior prosthesis due to alveolar ridge resorption. After removal of old prosthesis, intraoral examination rev...
