The paper describes the design of an offline path correction system for industrial robots using laser stripe sensors. Our approach offers high flexibility because of the systems ability to self-calibrate and a high speed measurement because of the usage of approximate positioning of the robot. The paper further reviews the advantages and disadvantages of online and offline path correction syste...

 Abstract Background: Patient satisfaction with the cosmetic result of spinal fusion surgery was studied in 40 cases of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Neutral or dissatisfied patients were compared with satisfied patients in several physical and psychological characteristics. The aim of the study was to determine whether adolescents generally report satisfaction with the postoperative appeara...

Seasonal variation in habitat selection by the mountain goat Oreamnos americanus is not well understood due to the difficulties of monitoring animal movement in all months of the year. The use of global positioning system (GPS) wildlife telemetry collars offers an opportunity to overcome this obstacle, however satellite acquisition problems associated with GPS wildlife telemetry collars create ...

Parkinson disease, one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, is characterized by cardinal motor features including bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor, postural instability, freezing gait, and fatigue. Of these, postural instability in the form of hyperflexion of the thoracolumbar spine upon standing and walking that disappears on recumbent positioning is called camptocormia. Many d...

Introduction: Class III skeletal malocclusion in adult patients presents mainly two treatment options: the surgical-orthodontic approach or compensatory treatment. Case Report: In present report, it was described case of a 23-year-old male patient who presented associated with anterior open bite. The refused treatment. Thus, orthodontic performed biofunctional technique, consisting preadjusted...

PURPOSE To assess the efficacy of bioresorbable mesh in reconstruction of orbitocranial deformities. METHODS A retrospective case series evaluating 6 orbits of 6 patients, ages 12 to 70 years old, with large multicontoured orbitocranial defects that were repaired using bioresorbable macroporous mesh. Both functional (presence of diplopia, ocular motility, exophthalmometry, and vertical globe ...

BACKGROUND The correction of trunk deformity is crucial in scoliosis surgery, especially for the patient's self-image. However, direct visualization of external scoliotic trunk deformity during surgical correction is difficult due to the covering draping sheets. METHODS An optoelectronic camera system with 10 passive markers is used to track the trunk geometry of 5 scoliotic patients during c...

INTRODUCTION Endovascular aneurysm repair requires the precise deployment of the graft. In order to achieve accurate positioning, the anatomical and morphological characteristics of the aorta and its branches is mandatory. Software that perform three dimensional reformatting of multislice tomographic images, allow for the study of the whole aorto-iliac axis and the perpendicular visualization o...

In order to overcome the vulnerability of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and provide robust position, navigation and time (PNT) information in marine navigation, the autonomous positioning system based on ranging-mode Automatic Identification System (AIS) is presented in the paper. The principle of the AIS autonomous positioning system (AAPS) is investigated, including the positi...
