In energy conservation research, energy disaggregation becomes an increasingly critical task, which takes a whole home electricity signal and decomposes it into its component appliances. While householder’s daily energy usage behavior acts as one powerful cue for breaking down the entire household’s energy consumption, existing works rarely modeled it straightforwardly. Instead, they either ign...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze the displacement pattern and stress distribution during surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with three different types of RME devices by constructing a finite element model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A finite element model is constructed from the computerized tomography scans. According to the type of RME device, 3 groups were simula...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Herbst and Twin-block appliances for established Class II Division I malocclusion. The study was a multicenter, randomized clinical trial carried out in orthodontic departments in the United Kingdom. A total of 215 patients (aged 11-14 years) were randomized to receive treatment with either the Herbst or the Twin-block appliance. Treatm...
This paper proposes a service-centric framework for the feature interaction problem in integrated services of the home network system (HNS). To formalize the HNS, we extensively use an object-oriented approach where each networked appliance (or the HNS environment) is modeled as an object consisting of properties and methods. Based on the model, we define two types of feature interactions: appl...
Tongue thrusting and thumb sucking are the most commonly seen oral habits which act as the major etiological factors in the development of dental malocclusion. This case report describes a fixed habit correcting appliance, Hybrid Habit Correcting Appliance (HHCA), designed to eliminate these habits. This hybrid appliance is effective in less compliant patients and if desired can be used along w...
The 2 x 4 appliance comprises bonds on the maxillary incisors, bands on the first permanent maxillary molars and a continuous archwire. The appliance is used in the early mixed dentition for treatment of both anterior crossbites and alignment of ectopic incisors. Four cases using this appliance are presented. This appliance offers many advantages over alternative techniques as it provides compl...
assessment of dimensional accuracy of preadjusted metal injection molding (mim) orthodontic brackets
abstract background: the aim of this study is to evaluate the dimensional accuracy of mbt (mclaughlin, bennett and trevisi ) brackets manufactured by two different companies (american orthodontics and ortho organizers) and determine variations in incorporation of values in relation to tip and torque in these products. methods: in the present analytical/descriptive study, sixty-four maxillary ri...
Objectives: An appliance to correct unilateral Class II molar relationship was described, the clinical and laboratory procedures for the construction of the appliance were explained. The clinical application for the unilateral molar distalization was illustrated by a case report. Other methods of distalizaton were reviewed and compared with the present appliance. The advantages and disadvantage...
Oral appliance therapy is an alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for treating the obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. However, the ability to pre-select suitable candidates for either treatment is limited. The aim of this study was to assess the value of relevant variables that can predict the outcome of oral appliance and CPAP therapy. Fifty-one patients treated wi...
Can a single, universal speech interface look-and-feel be used to effectively control a wide variety of appliances? Can such an interface be automatically derived from a functional appliance specification? We built the Speech Graffiti Personal Universal Controller (SG-PUC), a universal interface and framework for human-appliance speech interaction, as a proof-of-concept. Its specification langu...
