A numerical study on mixing of hydrogen injected transversely into a supersonic air stream has been performed by solving Two-Dimensional full Navier-Stokes equations. An explicit Harten-Yee Non-MUSCL Modified-flux-type TVD scheme has been used to solve the system of equations, and a zero-equation algebraic turbulence model to calculate the eddy viscosity coefficient. The main objectives of this...

Last decades, the number of routine childhood vaccinations has increased considerably, which consequently has led to multiple vaccine injections per consultation. Implementation of additional vaccines will probably lead to more than 2 vaccine injections per consult, which might be a barrier for parents to vaccinate their child. A decrease in vaccination coverage, however, increases the risk of ...

An injector design for the long pulse option for the second axis of the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrotest Facility (DARHT) has been studied. This design is based on the LBNL Heavy Ion Fusion Injector technology. The proposed injector consists of a single gap diode extracting electrons from a thermionic source and powered through a high voltage ceramic insulator column by a Marx generator. The ke...

Freehand three-dimensional ultrasound system allows intra-operative imaging of pathologic tissue for image-guided injection. Accurate registration of ultrasound image for injection navigation requires calibration that is timeconsuming and tedious. We present an efficient calibration system based on a clinical injector. The injector equipped with an optical tracking sensor is moved in the vicini...

We developed an inkjet-based DNA injector for microchip electrophoresis system based on a straight microchannel. The inkjet-based DNA injector enables us to precisely control injection volume of DNA and to use a simple straight microchannel for chip electrophoresis, whereas we need cross channel injector or T injector as well as complicated voltage programming for conventional chip electrophore...

PURPOSE To describe a novel, small-incision, no-fold Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) graft injector and to compare complications, visual acuity, and endothelial cell loss with a forceps technique. METHODS An Institutional Review Board-approved, interventional, nonrandomized, consecutive case series analysis of 175 eyes undergoing DSAEK for Fuchs dystrophy and bul...

A small rotating detonation engine (RDE) model and the corresponding experimental setup were constructed for investigation of propagation characteristics thrust performance a circular RDE. Experiments conducted at range 0.3–2.5 equivalence ratio with total mass flow rate less than 180.0 g/s using C2H4/O2 mixture. Irregularly unstable detonative combustion occurs immediately after initiation, wh...
