Up to face extrusion (UTFE) is an effective operation to extrude the profile from a sketch plane to a selected face. An up to face extrusion algorithm is presented in this paper. The algorithm first generates the trimmed extrusion through a simple body-surface Boolean operation method, and then generates the resultant solid through a regularized Boolean operation between the original solid and ...

in this paper, the direct extrusion process of bimetallic rods in conical dies is analyzed by an improved upper bound method. the deformation zone is subdivided into six smaller zones and by considering a non-spherical entrance boundary to the deformation zone, a velocity field is presented which is different from velocity fields employed in previous studies. the total power consumption of the ...

apical extrusion of debris and irrigants during cleaning and shaping of the root canal is one of the main causes of periapical inflammation and postoperative flare-ups. the purpose of this study was to quantitatively measure the amount of debris and irrigants extruded apically in single rooted canals using two reciprocating and one rotary single file nickel-titanium instrumentation systems.sixt...

The study was conducted to develop castor oil – graphite lubricants for cold extrusion of aluminium alloy and to investigate the effect of the developed lubricant on the extrusion pressure of aluminium alloy. Cold extrusion process at a constant extrusion ratio of 1.25:1 was used on 14mm diameter by 30mm long aluminium alloy billets. Experimental results showed that onset pressure ranges from 1...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether an alteration of the lower limb axis is associated with meniscal extrusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-four patients who had complained of knee pain with good knee function and had a knee magnetic resonance image (MRI) and a full-length X-ray taken of the lower limb were included in the study. Meniscal extrusion was measured in the coronal MRI. Subluxation of t...

Liver cells from rats chronically fed a Lieber-De Carli diet for 3 wk presented a marked decreased in tissue Mg(2+) content and an inability to extrude Mg(2+) into the extracellular compartment upon stimulation with catecholamine, isoproterenol, or cell-permeant cAMP analogs. This defect in Mg(2+) extrusion was observed in both intact cells and purified liver plasma membrane vesicles. Inhibitio...

Autonomic control of food extruders has attracted considerable in recent years. With limited understanding of the complex physio-chemical interactions during the food extrusion process, designing a control system for food extruder is not easy. The common approach is to determine the operating conditions and then to maintain these values as closely as possible using various control loops, if not...

The quality of extrusion welding in the extruded hollow shapes is influenced significantly by the pressure and effective stress under which the material is being joined inside the welding chamber. However, extrusion welding was not accounted for in the past by the developers of finite element software packages. In this study, the strength of hollow extrusion profile with seam weld produced at d...

This paper presents a sketch based mesh extrusion method, which is useful for intuitive, efficient geometric modeling of freeform polygonal objects. With our method, the user can extrude either a closed or open surface from the surface or the boundary of a given mesh by sketched input. Thus, compared to earlier methods, our method provides more flexibility for solving surface modeling problems....

To maintain an intact barrier, epithelia eliminate dying cells by extrusion. During extrusion, a cell destined for apoptosis signals its neighboring cells to form and contract a ring of actin and myosin, which squeezes the dying cell out of the epithelium. Here, we demonstrate that the signal produced by dying cells to initiate this process is sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). Decreasing S1P synth...
