BACKGROUND In cases of poor bone quality, intraoperative torque measurement might be an alternative to preoperative dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess bone quality in total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Trabecular peak torque measurement was applied in 14 paired fresh frozen human femurs. Here, a 6.5 × 23 mm wingblade was inserted into the proximal femur without harming the la...

Method: In this study, we quantified fatigue from a repeated maximal effort isokinetic knee extension test using different methods, as seen in published research. Nine healthy males and nine healthy females performed 50 concentric knee extensions at 180°•s. For each repetition, torque was quantified as either peak torque (PT), torque at the mid-point of the range of motion, and torque integrate...

Methods for exerting and measuring forces on single molecules have revolutionized the study of the physics of biology. However, it is often the case that biological processes involve rotation or torque generation, and these parameters have been more difficult to access experimentally. Recent advances in the single-molecule field have led to the development of techniques that add the capability ...

The torque measurement usually comes from strain gauges bonded on a shaft. The main concern in this measurement is due to the fact that these gauges are also rotating and the integration of electronic on rotating parts is definitely a blocking point. To overcome these limitations, the architecture of our device is mainly composed of two targets, two position sensors, a proof body and a compact ...

This work aimed at presenting the idea of inventor Dr. Kenzo Kase that kinesio tape application with proximal base leads to muscle contraction facilitation and application with distal base leads to muscle contraction inhibition. Twenty male volleyball players with the dominant shoulder girdle muscle imbalance between the ages of 25 and 30 participated in this study. There were compared two tech...

This paper proposes an extended-flux model with core-loss resistance of SynRMs (synchronous reluctance motors) and precise torque estimation without core-loss measurement and position encoder. The proposed torque estimation is useful for precise MTPA (maximum torque per ampere) control of position sensorless controlled SynRMs, which is achieved with the assistance of active and reactive powers.

Torque being a very important physical parameter, plays a very vital role in various applications like aviation, automobile, power and agriculture industries. Torque is, generally, measured by mechanical type torque meters/torque wrenches, having higher uncertainty. These mechanical type torque meters/torque wrenches need to be calibrated using strain gauged torque transducers. Hence, there is ...

in direct torque control, the selection of an applied voltage vector is based on the measuredparameters at the beginning of the sampling period. the delay between the measurement and the application of the voltage vector is the origin of an extra torque ripple. in this paper, a new predictive controller is proposed for compensating this delay and reducing the torque ripple. the stator current i...
