Two organic gas speciation profiles (OG2403 and OG2404) for compressed natural gas (CNG) transit buses equipped with three-way catalysts (TWC) were developed in this work to complement the current CARB organic gas speciation profile database. The profiles were created based on chassis dynamometer test data of two transit buses equipped with TWCs running on CNG. Profile OG2403 was made for Stead...

This paper describes the design and accuracy evaluation of a dynamometric pedal, which measures the two pedal force components in the plane of the bicycle. To realize a design that could be used during actual off-road cycling, a popular clipless pedal available commercially was modified so that both the form and the function of the original design were maintained. To measure the load components...

Materials and Methods: fifteen patients (10 men and 5 women with 42.53 years) on their dominant arm participated in this study. Outcome measures were wrist extension and grip strength and pain taken before and immediately after application of tape. The unaffected arm served as a control. Used of hand-held dynamometer and jammar dynamometer for evaluated of wrist extension and grip strength. Als...

Description The pain-free grip (PFG) test is used to measure the amount of force that the patient generates to the onset of pain; when there is no pain the test result could be regarded as maximum grip strength. It is commonly performed in patients with lateral epicondylalgia (LE). LE is characterised by the presence of pain over the lateral humeral epicondyle which is provoked by at least two ...
