The theories of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) originated from experiences doctors had with patients in ancient times. We ask the question whether aspects of TCM theories can be reconstructed through modern day data analysis. We have recently analyzed a TCM data set using a machine learning method and found that the resulting statistical model matches the relevant TCM theory well. This is a...

This work describes a simple and inexpensive approach for controlling the pneumatic valves that were invented in Quake's group to miniaturize the whole system for portable and disposable microfluidic devices. The valves are assembled from two parts. One is the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channels formed by multilayer soft lithography. The other is a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) frame with mach...

Cutting force is one of the significant parameters in metal cutting process. The process primary production and manufacturing industry to produce high-quality products. Every needs develop a technology, i.e., cooling or lubrication system at zone while doing This current work focuses on developing machine learning algorithm by using three different types regression processes, namely, polynomial...

Nowadays, advanced turning processes are extensively being adopted to perform different types of operations such as straight turning, taper on Hastelloy, Nimonic, and Inconel, stainless steel, tool steel fabricate better quality cylindrical rotating parts miniature-bars, miniature-pins, miniature-electrodes, miniature-tools. This paper presents a review the previous research conducted miniature...

Chatter vibrations are present in almost all cutting operations and they are the major obstacles in achieving desired surface finish. Chatter vibrations are the self excited vibrations, which has an adverse effect on surface roughness, dimensional accuracy of the machined components. This paper investigates the occurrence of regenerative chatter vibrations in centerless bar turning operation. T...

[Purpose] Limitations in performing the 180°-turning increase the risk of falls and disabilities in stroke patients. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare the 180°-turning between people with and without stroke, considering the direction towards which they turned. [Subjects and Methods] Fourteen subjects with stroke and 14 matched healthy controls performed the 180°-turning twic...
